The Chloronicotynyle compound is provided in an amount preferably ranging from 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of the synergistic insecticidal composition. The Pyrethroids compound is provided in an amount preferably ranging from 1 to 60% by weight of the synergistic insecticidal composition. The synergistic insecticidal composition also preferably includes 35 to 98.90% by weight of conventional agriculturally acceptable carrier(s) and/or excipients.

A saline water cartridge for radiopharmaceuticals injection includes a casing in which a primary passage extends from an outlet of a saline water reservoir to a radiopharmaceuticals inlet port of the cartridge and a secondary passage extends from an opening defined in the primary passage to a radiopharmaceuticals outlet port where a patient injection device is connected to supply the radiopharmaceuticals to the patient. A first one-way membrane valve is arranged in the opening of the primary passage to allow the radiopharmaceuticals injected into the primary passage from a radiopharmaceuticals carrying syringe to flow to the outlet port, while preventing reverse flow. A second one-way membrane valve is arranged in the outlet of the saline water reservoir to allow saline water to replenish into the primary passage while preventing reverse flow.

A solid-state circuit interrupter and arc prevention device (SSI/APD) is disclosed. The SSI/APD is designed to be configured in series with a mechanical circuit breaker and serves to interrupt current flowing through the circuit it is protecting upon a short circuit being detected or if an overload has persisted for an inordinate amount of time. The SSI/APD is capable of detecting and responding to faults in a matter of microseconds and detects and responds to faults on its own, without requiring the mechanical circuit breaker to trip. The mechanical circuit breaker can be optionally tripped after the SSI/APD has opened the circuit. However, the mechanical circuit breaker is tripped only after the SSI/APD has interrupted the circuit, so electrical arcing across the circuit breaker's contacts is avoided. The SSI/APD can also be reset remotely after a fault has been cleared, obviating the need for a person to be present to reset it.

An accessory cartridge for removable reception in a specialized lighting fixture. A circular cartridge ring is provided with an internal lower flange, for supporting one or more flat, circular, disc-like accessory elements, such as filters. Retainer clips are positioned to engage at least the uppermost one of the disc-like accessory elements, such that one or more of the disc-like accessory elements may be easily installed within the cartridge ring and the entire series thereof automatically retained therein by engagement of at least the uppermost accessory element. The entire cartridge is designed to be bodily installed in or removed from the lighting fixture, to facilitate expeditious changing of accessory elements utilized with the lighting fixture. Preferentially, the lighting fixture is provided with a hingedly connected front barrel portion, which is constructed to receive and support the cartridge. The cartridge can be easily removed and/or installed when the barrel portion is hinged to an open position.

The present invention relates to a novel means to use a fundamental model of the parts of the brain that are dysfunctional in Parkinson's disease, and related dynamical diseases of the brain, as part of a feedback control system to modulate the signs and symptoms of disease. Fundamental computational models that embody our knowledge of the anatomy, neurons, and dynamics of the parts of the brain we wish to control, and use those models to reconstruct what is inaccessible to our measurements. Through emulation the controller synchronizes to the parts of the brain we wish to observe and track. By passing simultaneous control pulses to both the model controller, as well as the brain, we control both the model and the brain. The detailed framework to embed fundamental models of the brain within a control scheme to control symptoms of Parkinsons and related dynamical diseases of the brain are disclosed.

A paint can and paint brush holder in the form of a tray having means for securing the can to the tray, means to facilitate holding the tray and paint can with one hand as the other hand applies paint from an open can with a brush, the tray having place for setting down one or more wet brushes, and for holding a wipe-up rag.

A driver assistance system (12) comprises an optical detector (14) with active scene illumination. The optical detector includes at least one of a stereoscopic imager, a time-of-flight imager, a structured-light imager and a night vision system. The optical detector includes a light source (16) for converting electrical energy into light, projection optics (18) for illuminating a scene with light generated by the light source and one or more optical sensors (20) for detecting light returned from the scene in response to the scene being illuminated. The light source is thermally connected to a heat sink (30) for evacuating heat produced by the light source and the projection optics are optically connected to the light source with one or more optical fibers (22) for transport of light generated by the light source to the projection optics.

A wireless connection system having at least one host apparatus and at least one client apparatus, wherein: proximity wireless communication is executed when a host apparatus and a client apparatus execute wireless communication with each other on the basis of a predetermined wireless communication standard in which the client apparatus is brought close to the host apparatus; authentication processing is executed for authenticating connection setting information by use of the proximity wireless communication; and if authentication is successful in the authentication processing, execution of the wireless communication is enabled and, if authentication is unsuccessful, execution of the wireless communication is disabled.

The invention relates to a system and method for separating, and safely monitoring and sampling flow back fluid returns from coiled tubing operations in oil and natural gas wells. The system comprises a flow back tank; one or more gas diffusers; one or more shale shakers; and a chute, which diverts flow from the gas diffusers to a sampling site positioned near the perimeter of the flow back tank. The system also has a volume level indicator on or near the perimeter of the flow back tank. The method comprises piping fluid returns from a wellbore, separating the trapped gases from the fluid returns, directing the degassed fluids to a shale shaker to separate the solids and directing the separated solids and liquids into separate tanks for analysis and reconditioning, if necessary. Cleaned liquids may be recirculated back to the wellbore.

A way to safely fry turkeys by minimizing the hazard of overfilling oil, the Turkey Oil Gage comprises a device and method to properly pre-measure the frying oil used to fry whole turkeys. It is appropriately sized for a given application measure or object shaped similar to that of a long inverted letter “j”. The Turkey Frying Oil Gage is one part only. The front of the TFOG is embossed or indelibly marked in one pound increments from eleven pounds to twenty-five pounds. This side is also separated into five columns designating pot sizes (quarts) of 26, 28, 30, 32 and 34 quarts. The gage hung from the pot top rim and oil is filled to the turkey weight for the pot size that is used. The oil gage is removed, the oil heated and the turkey introduced without overflowing the oil onto the heating flames.

A smoking substitute apparatus is disclosed, having: an air inlet; an outlet; and a flow passage formed therebetween. A vaporization chamber is in communication with the flow passage and has an aerosol generator configured to generate an aerosol from an aerosol precursor by heating. The aerosol generator comprises a vaporizer element loaded with aerosol precursor, the vaporizer element being heatable by a heater and presenting a vaporizer element surface to air in the vaporization chamber. A vaporizer element region is defined as a volume extending outwardly from the vaporizer element surface to a distance of 1 mm from the vaporizer element surface. The air inlet, flow passage, outlet and the vaporization chamber are configured so that, when the air flow rate inhaled by the user through the apparatus is 1.3 L min⁻¹, the maximum magnitude of velocity of air in the vaporizer element region is in the range 0-2.0 ms⁻¹.
