Abstract: Problems associated with the use of fluorescent tubes in insect traps are resolved by providing a replacement lamp array employing multiple sets of light emitting diodes that each emit light at different specific wavelengths and are positioned within a one or more translucent sleeves having a surface coated with an environmentally safe light diffusion material creating a pattern comprising areas of more intense light dominated by the light cast by a single LED separated by areas of less intense light.

Abstract: Insect capture is improved by providing a glue board having an adhesive coating on its front surface and forming a pattern of insect attractant UV light on that front surface. That pattern includes areas of bright UV light generated by light-emitting diodes that generate light at different wavelengths behind and visible through the glue board by flying insects, dimmer areas of light generated by said light emitting diodes that bounces off other portions of the device onto the glue board, and areas of shadow on the glue board where no or little light from said light-emitting diodes is present.

Abstract: A floor panel connection system for attaching a floor panel to an aircraft airframe is disclosed. The connection system includes a vertical load resisting coupling device and a shear load resisting coupling device to connect the floor panel to the airframe and resist forces applied to the panel. The vertical load resisting coupling device is configured to resist forces perpendicular to a top facial plane of the floor panel, without significantly resisting lateral forces. The shear load resisting coupling device is configured to resist forces parallel to the top facial plane of the floor panel, without significantly resisting vertical forces.

Abstract: An insect trap which includes an enclosure with a removable cover member having at least one opening therethrough and contained within the enclosure is an insect attractant, a take-up roller, a supply roller, each journaled for rotation about parallel, spaced-apart axes, and where a flexible web is wound on the supply roller and transferrable onto the take-up roller. The web has an adhesive on one major surface. Also contained within the enclosure is an electric motor connected in driving relation to the take-up roller and a timer circuit for controlling the ON/OFF state of the electric motor. The timer circuit is designed such that when switched to the “on” state, remains on only long enough to transfer a quantity of the web in a range of plus or minus 10% of the predetermined length dimension between the two rollers before assuming the “off” state.

Abstract: A humane repeating animal trap having multiple points of entry and redundant mechanisms which prevent an animal reaching the storage section of the trap from escaping. The trap permits selective viewing of the contents without opening the trap and indicators signaling not only the presence of animals within the trap, but also which of multiple points of entry were used by the animals to enter the trap.
