20140302546 | METHOD FOR HYDROGEN SULFIDE DETECTION - A method for detecting H | 10-09-2014 |
20120184625 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR CONTROLLING PESTS - The present invention is directed to pest-controlling compositions comprising as active ingredients one or more β-diones, particularly β-diketones and β-triketones, and to the use of these compositions inter alia for preventing, eradicating, destroying, repelling or mitigating harmful, annoying or undesired pests including insects, arachnids, helminths, molluscs, protozoa and viruses. The present invention is further directed to processes of preparing β-diones by de novo synthesis or from natural sources such as volatile oil-bearing plants from families including Alliaceae, Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Cannabinaceae, Lamiaceae, Pteridaceae, Myrtaceae, Myoporaceae, Proteaceae, Rutaceae and Zingiberaceae. | 07-19-2012 |
20100300946 | Apparatus and Method for Concentrating A Fluid - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for concentrating a fluid with improved energy efficiency. The method comprises the steps of: providing a membrane distillation unit having an evaporation side in fluid communication with a first reservoir for containing the fluid, and a condensation side being in fluid communication with a second reservoir for containing a coolant; evaporating at least a portion of the fluid and condensing the fluid in the second reservoir. The method further comprises the steps of controllably transferring heat from the coolant to the fluid such that the temperature of the fluid is maintained at a predetermined temperature. | 12-02-2010 |
20100297466 | Profiled Metal Sheet - A profiled metal sheet for use in the construction of composite slabs is disclosed. The sheet includes a plurality of parallel longitudinal ribs separated by pans and male and female members at opposite sides of the sheet that enable adjacent sheets to be connected together in overlapping relationship. At least one of the ribs, male members and female members has a side that extends from the pan that is adjacent the rib or the member. The side includes a re-entrant section and a corner section that connects the side and the adjacent pan. The corner section includes a plurality of regions at spaced intervals along the length of the corner section that extend outwardly compared with adjacent regions of the corner section. The spaced regions are provided to improve longitudinal slip resistance of composite slabs formed from the sheet. | 11-25-2010 |
