A networked delivery system and method for controlling operation of a spraying system includes nozzles for emitting an agrochemical according to a predetermined spray pattern and flow rate; vibration sensors located adjacent an agricultural spray system component to sense vibrations of the agricultural spray system component, such as spray nozzles. The networked delivery system also includes a control area network with a computer processor in communication with the vibration sensors. The processor conveys information to an operator regarding the agricultural spray system component based on the sensed vibrations. The processor also actuates each of the agricultural spray system components such as the spray nozzles to selectively control each of the nozzles or a designated group of the nozzles.

Remotely sensed spectral image data are used to develop a Vegetation Index file which represents spatial variations of actual crop vigor throughout an area that is under cultivation. The latter information is processed to place it in a format that can be used by personnel to correlate and calibrate it with actually observed crop conditions existing at control points within the area. Based on the results, personnel formulate a prescription request, which is forwarded to a central processing site, where the prescription is prepared. The latter is returned to a mobile application means that directly applies inputs to the field at a spatially variable rate.

The present invention relates to a basically spherical hyperbranched block copolymer having an internal hydrophobic block and an external hydrophilic block. Within the spherical copolymer, the hydrophobic block constitutes a hydrophobic layer, suitable to associate or encapsulate hydrophobic bioactive agents, while the hydrophilic block provides an outer layer, which is suitable to render the copolymer soluble or dispersible in aqueous solutions. Also claimed is a method for preparing the copolymer, which is suitable to encapsulate fragrances, flavours, drugs, agrochemicals, for example.

The apparatus and method of the present invention provides for conducting simultaneous multiple synthesis of general compounds, which often takes place under varied uneven conditions requiring heating, cooling, agitation, reagent/solvent additions to the reactor contents at each reaction vessel location, supply and maintenance of inert atmosphere and means to facilitate the reflux of the reactor contents. Thus, it becomes necessary to monitor and control the reaction conditions during the simultaneous multiple synthesis of general compounds. The apparatus allows the user to connect various independently controlling and conveying means to each reaction vessel through multiple ports provided on a stopper mounted on each reaction vessel. The apparatus of the present invention permits user to readily access the reaction vessels without interrupting the reactions occurring in the adjacent reaction vessels. The unique geometry and shape of the stopper allows positioning of multiple ports, while still providing the stopper with a compact size. As a result, a large array of reaction vessels can be accommodated in the device of the present invention without significantly increasing the overall size of the apparatus. Some of the general compounds that can be readily synthesized by the apparatus and the method of the present invention include inorganic compounds as well as organic compounds, such as oligomers, polymers, agricultural chemicals, drugs, peptides and oligonucleotides.

The present invention relates to a media mill system and a method using the same to produce fine and ultra-fine particles useful in diagnostic agents, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, nutraceuticals and the like.

The invention is the discovery of an actinomycete genus, given the name Salinospora gen. nov., that displays an obligate requirement of seawater (Na⁺) for growth and unique 16S rRNA signature nucleotides. The invention is also the use of the genus for the production and discovery of active biomolecules such as pharmaceutical agents, agrichemicals, immunomodifiers, enzymes and enzyme inhibitors.

The invention "colloidal nanoscale carriers for active hydrophilic substances and method for producing same" pertains to the field of medical, odontological or hygiene preparations, and is characterized by structures formed by hydrophilic polymers that contain active hydrophilic substances coated with a non-hydrophilic phase and surfactants with affinity for the components, forming an invert emulsion that allows the incorporation and controlled delivery of active hydrophilic substances, conferring properties such as protection against degradation processes, improvement of compatibility with the other components of the formulation in the final product, increase in the availability and/or bioavailability of the active substance in the medium of interest (including improvements in permeation processes in biological materials, reduction of the exposure and volatilization of the active substance in the medium) and controlled release of the active substance(s). The nanoscale carrier obtained by this method, called colloidal nanoscale carrier (NC), can be used in various fields, such as the pharmaceutical field (including dermatology), cosmetics, personal hygiene products, veterinary medicine, agrochemicals and fertilizers, the food industry and the like. The invention proposes a kinetically stable system with an effective nanoscale structure that consists of nanoscale carriers formed by polymers emulsified in a non-aqueous medium in the presence of a surfactant with affinity for the two phases (the dispersion medium and the encapsulating agent). This system is obtained by nanoemulsification of an aqueous phase of hydrophilic polymers emulsified in a non-hydrophilic (lipophilic or silophilic) phase that contains the surfactants, and is characterized by the implementation of two concepts that encompass the generation of an invert nanoscale emulsion and of polymer nanoparticles. The formulation has the novel technical effect of providing a polymer excipient with a nanoscale structure for delivering hydrophilic molecules suspended in a non-hydrophilic phase, which allows controlling the size of the nanoscale particles and modulating colloidal stability by means of process parameters.
