    Abstract: A system and method of application and dispersion of mating disruption materials or other materials to control insect population. Disclosed is an apparatus designed to be carried by a ground vehicle, or aerial means, which implements a method of insect population control. The apparatus features one or more removable vacuum reservoirs that contain a mating disruption formulation in cylinders or bags. The vacuum bags or vacuum cylinders are seated upon one or more computer controlled peristaltic pump heads, housed in a insulated controlled environment box, that pump the material to one or more forming nozzles. Once formed the material drops into the wind stream of one or more tangential vortex type fans. Maintaining its size and shape, the mating disruption material will travel through the air field, and become attached in the trees where it will omit a flume of sex pheromones that disrupt the ability of the male insect in finding the female insect, breaking the mating cycle of the insect population.

  • Publication number: 20110024448
    Abstract: A foam transfer device is described, for use with aerosol canister apparatus for producing a sclerosant foam for the treatment of, inter alia, varicose veins. The device enables diversion of an initial quantity of below-specification foam from the canister to waste, e.g. to an integral waste chamber, before dispensing a further quantity of foam for use in treatment. The switching of the flow from the waste chamber to a different outlet for use is accomplished without interrupting the flow from the aerosol canister since this would cause the foam to drop below specification again. The waste chamber may be transparent so that the foam entering it can be observed and a decision made by a user when to stop diverting foam to waste. Alternatively, the foam may be diverted automatically e.g. when a set time has elapsed or a set volume of foam dispensed. The foam for use is normally dispensed into a syringe for subsequent injection into a varicose vein of a patient.

  • Patent number: 7823808
    Abstract: An electrostatic spraying device having a removable cartridge with a reservoir containing a volume of liquid compositions to be electrically sprayed on a user's skin. The device includes a nozzle for dispensing the liquid as well as an emitter electrode disposed adjacent to the nozzle for charging the liquid composition just being dispensed from the nozzle. A field electrode surrounds the reservoir in order to charge the liquid composition within the reservoir, thereby avoiding an occurrence of electric current which would otherwise flow in the liquid composition and would deteriorate the composition remaining in the reservoir. The reservoir is devoid of the field electrode, and therefor can be designed into a simple and compact structure without being restricted by the field electrode, assuring to have an enhanced liquid containing volume in relation to the bulk of the removable cartridge.

  • Patent number: 7823809
    Abstract: An electrostatic spraying device has a capability of confirming that the device is ready for making an electrostatic spraying of the liquid composition on a user's skin. The device includes a nozzle and a pump for dispensing the liquid composition out through the nozzle. An emitter electrode is disposed to electrostatically charge the liquid composition being dispensed for making the electrostatic spraying. The device is provided with a power switch and a selector for selection between a spraying mode and a dripping mode. In the dripping mode, the pump is alone actuated to dispense the liquid composition absent electrostatic charge. In the spraying mode, both of the pump and the emitter electrode are activated to make the electrostatic spraying. Thus, the user can be easy to drip the liquid composition by simply manipulating the selector prior to initiating the electrostatic spraying.

  • Patent number: 7819341
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gravity flow reservoir for a paint spraying gun having a container and a cover, which can be placed thereon and which has a connecting part in order to place the gravity flow reservoir onto the paint spraying gun or onto an adapter. Prior art reservoirs require a separate pointed tool, which serves to make a vent hole, is often unavailable and can lead to operating errors. The aim of the invention is to provide a paint reservoir system that enables a simple, rapid and uncomplicated insertion of a vent hole into the container wall of the gravity flow reservoir while preventing shavings or plastic parts from entering the gravity flow reservoir. To this end, a delimited area is provided in the wall of the container and can be penetrated by the pointed tool in order to make a vent hole.

    Abstract: Vegetation spray is performed with a magnetized material in a spray liquid. The magnetized material can be liquid iron. The magnetized material can be magnetized before or after introduction to the spray liquid, and before or after the spray liquid is introduced to spray equipment. Spray drift can be reduced and spray adhesion increased by the addition of the magnetized material to the spray liquid. Liquid with magnetized materials can also be used in other, non-spray applications.
