International Classification:

H01L 31/042

US Classification:

136244, 136256, 136259, 136292, 136293, 2441583, 2441727, 2441728, 2441729, 2441595, 16 50, 16 66, 16 67, 16 68, 16221, 16373

Abstract:

A flexible inflatable hinge includes curable resin for rigidly positioning panels of solar cells about the hinge in which wrap around contacts and flex circuits are disposed for routing power from the solar cells to the power bus further used for grounding the hinge. An indium tin oxide and magnesium fluoride coating is used to prevent static discharge while being transparent to ultraviolet light that cures the embedded resin after deployment for rigidizing the inflatable hinge.

International Classification:

A01M 102

US Classification:

43107

Abstract:

A method and delivery system for an area-specific precision control of biting insects, including flying and non-flying, biting arthropods, is described. CO. sub. 2 is metered through a tubing fence and dispensed into the center of traps that serve as visual targets for flying or walking biting arthropods. The outside membrane of a trap can be treated with mineral oil to capture and kill small arthropods such as sand flies of the genus Culicoides, or black flies of the genus Simulium. In addition, the membrane can be treated with insecticide formulations of Permethrin, Resmethrin, or Deltamethrin, to kill larger biting arthropods, such as ticks, mosquitoes, deer flies, horse flies, or stable flies. This method for biting arthropod control is an ecological-friendly alternative to the widespread broadcast application of organophosphate insecticides such as Derspan, Diprom, and Maithion.
