A first impregnated layer defines an effective thickness and degrades at a rate dependent on an environmental factor to thereby expose a portion of the insect-control material impregnated therein at a depth corresponding to the decreased thickness. As the first degradable layer degrades in a multi-layer insect-control patch it also exposes the second layer (which is attached to the first layer) at a rate corresponding to the degradation of the first layer. A barrier impervious to the second insect-control material can be attached to the second layer. In some embodiments the first and second degradable materials are the same material and the second impregnated layer is formed on the first impregnated layer thereby bonding them together. | 08-23-2012 |

The method includes the steps of providing a set of risk assessment rules, applying the risk assessment rules to at least a portion of a test population to generate a classified population, deriving a mortality estimate for each member of the classified population, and determining a cumulative result for each preferred category. The risk assessment rules define a plurality of preferred categories for an insurance product. | 10-22-2009 |

20090300973 | Devices, Processes And Methods For The Production Of Lower Alkyl Esters - Embodiments of a process for production of biodiesel from a transesterification reaction of alcohol and triglycerides in a multi-zone tubular reactor is disclosed. Alkyl esters and glycerin are formed from reactants in a reaction mixture as the reaction mixture flows through the zones. The zones include an entrance zone, an exit zone, and an intermediate zone between the entrance and exit zones. The zones are characterized by physical properties such as viscosity, density, composition, and flow regime. The entrance and intermediate zones include static mixers that perform structured mixing that increases the conversion and yield. The degree of mixing provided by the mixers is different in the zones to account for differences in physical properties. Additionally, the product stream from the reactor is passed through a coalescer to increase droplet size of a dispersed glycerin phase, facilitating both rapid separation of the glycerin phase from the biodiesel phase, and increased conversion and yield in a decanter. | 12-10-2009 |

20110231449 | System, Method, and Apparatus for Managing Patent Reference Reporting - A reporting database establishes linkages between patent applications so that first references reported in a first patent application are indicated as needing to be reported in a second patent application. In one scenario, a similar second linkage is also established between the second patent application and a third patent application. In such a case, there may be no linkage between the first patent application and the third patent application analogous to the first and second linkages. When it is detected in such a case that the first references have been reported in the second patent application, an indication that the first references need to be reported in the third patent application may prevented based on determining that the first references did not originate from the second patent application. | 09-22-2011 |
