Abstract:

A method and apparatus for applying aerosols of chemical formulations to a stored crop is described. The aerosol may be generated by any suitable means using thermal aerosol generators or “cool” aerosol generators. The improvement is the use of the crop storage facility air in the generation of the aerosol and, or the cooling of the aerosol. An important use of the invention is the application of CIPC to stored potatoes.

Appl. No.:

11/135714

Inventors:

International Classification:

A01N 25/00
A61L 2/00

US Classification:

422038000

Abstract:

A stored crop treatment system includes a crop storage chamber and a gas stream circulation pathway which includes a re-circulation loop comprising the crop storage chamber. A feed mechanism feeds stored crop treatment material into a stream of gas moving through the re-circulation loop wherein the stream of gas comes from the crop storage chamber. A heat exchanger heats the stream of gas to thermally generate an aerosol of the stored crop treatment material. A blower moves the aerosol along the re-circulation loop to apply the aerosol to stored crops within the storage chamber. The circulation pathway includes a cooling gas loop comprising the crop storage chamber and a section of the re-circulation loop. Cooling gas from the crop storage chamber moves along the cooling gas loop into the section of the re-circulation loop to cool the heated stream of gas and aerosol prior to entering the crop storage chamber.

International Classification:

A01N 25/04
A01N 25/16

US Classification:

504366000

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for generating and delivering an aerosol of a unique composition for treating stored crops. One aspect of the invention is such a composition wherein at least 80% to 98% of the components thereof have a particle size value no greater than 10 microns, whereby nearly any type of aerosol generator may effectively generate the aerosol because the particle size distribution of the components eliminates the need for further particle size reduction. Another aspect of the invention is such a composition which includes components comprising solid carriers with stored crop treatments attached thereto. Preferably, a fine-grinding non-rotary ball mill produces the components at the desired particle size distribution. The solid carriers or other solid particles may provide a reduced caking tendency and may make the aerosol non-combustible regardless of the ignition source. The aerosol is typically generated at an ambient or near-crop-storage temperature, thus reducing fire hazards.

Appl. No.:

6/050802

Inventors:

Maw H. Lee - Broadview Heights OH
John E. Keim - Lodi OH

Assignee:

The Scott & Fetzer Company - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

G08B 100

US Classification:

340539

Abstract:

A radio receiver equipped central control unit continuously monitors at least one battery-powered remote transmitter activated in response to predetermined alarm conditions, such as open doors and windows, fire, smoke, low transmitter battery voltage, and the like. In its activated condition, the transmitter is cycled to radiate a one-second duration radio frequency signal every 30 seconds, such cycling being established by transmitter timer circuitry series-inserted between the transmitter and its battery power source. The transmitted signal is received by the central control unit which, in response to the received signal, selects and activates one or more alarm indicators for a predetermined time period. Such selection and activation of particular alarm indicators and the duration of their activation are determined by switching and timing circuitry series-inserted between the central control unit's radio frequency receiver and the various alarm indicators.

International Classification:

G01R 2706

US Classification:

324637

Abstract:

The invention described a pocket size antenna VSWR indicator having a self-contained low level wideband RF signal source which is applied to an antenna under test through a four arm RF resistive bridge circuit. The bridge circuit has been designed to be very accurate and reliable and provides a novelly positioned reference against which the reflection co-efficient of the transmission system is compared to reliably indicate the VSWR of the system. The bridge circuit provides a flat response over the desired wideband frequency range and over the range of antenna impedances which may be encountered. The RF null or bridge balance is detected in a radio receiver or transceiver tuned to the desired operating frequency, from which an indication of antenna VSWR may be provided. The antenna VSWR may be indicated in a variety of way, such as by means of a numbered or colored dial, a plurality of LEDs or an audio tone shift against an internal reference. Alternatively, the indicator may be calibrated to read VSWR directly by number or by means of a color-dial indicating good, poor or non-usable VSWRs.

International Classification:

US Classification:

324 95

Abstract:

The invention describes an internal test load and method for forming an internal test load which is adapted to absorb energy from a power source such as an RF transmitter, transceiver, or amplifier. The test load is positioned internally within a housing, and includes at least one impedance device, such as a power resistor, coupled to the power source which is matched to the impedance thereof. The impedance device is supported on a heat sink which is adapted to absorb heat generated by the impedance device so as to be distributed over a relatively large area constituting the heat sink. The heat sink is positioned in spaced part relation to the housing, and is not directly supported or secured to the housing. A potting material surrounds the load assembly and supports the heat sink, wherein the heat sink effectively "floats" within the potting material such that heat absorbed by the heat sink will not be directly transferred to the housing, but will be dissipated through the potting compound. As an example, the internal test load is applied to an RF watt meter for testing low power RF transmitters, transceivers and RF amplifiers without an external load or antenna connected separately thereto.
