| 20120066553 | System and Methods for Monitoring a Geographic Information System - Disclosed are new approaches for monitoring an information system such as a GIS. For each service of a plurality of services provided by service computers, a periodic evaluation is performed by requesting performance of the selected test service routine by the service. If no valid response to the request is received within a response window the monitoring computer may produce an output indicating an error status for the service. The response window may be a time window or a maximum number of transmitted requests without a valid response. A monitoring computer may transmit requests to perform a service at a first period if an error indicator associated therewith is set and periodically at a second period if the error indicator associated therewith is not set. Requests to perform the service may not be transmitted during an exclusion time associated with a service or its corresponding service computer. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20080206294 | Naphthalene Derivatives as Termite Repellents and Toxicants - Several derivatives of naphthalene, including 1′-acetonaphthone, 2′-acetonaphthone, 1-methoxynaphthalene, and 2-methoxynaphthalene, were discovered to be effective toxicants and repellents of termites, and resulted in significant reduction in termite feeding activity. For example, 2′-acetonaphthone was found to be an effective repellent and feeding deterrent of termites. Termites exposed to concentrations as low as 8 mg/kg sand exhibited a significant reduction in tunneling and feeding activity. Moreover, some of the dead termites had symptoms indicative of a failure to molt. At concentrations ≧20 μg/cm | 08-28-2008 |
