Appl. No.:

12/568400

Inventors:

William Tedford - Kalamazoo MI, US
John McIntyre - Kalamazoo MI, US
Daniel Hopkins Russell - Kalamazoo MI, US
Peter Carlson - Potomac MD, US

Assignee:

Vestaron Corporation - Kalamazoo MI

International Classification:

A01N 37/18
A01P 7/04

US Classification:

514 12, 514 2, 530300, 530350

Abstract:

Procedures are described which use solvents to increase the topical insecticidal activity of toxic insect peptides. These procedures comprise drying the peptides, if needed, followed by the addition of either: 1) a polar organic solvent, with or without water, to a dried peptide, or 2) the addition of polar aprotic solvent or other adjuvant to the dried peptide, followed by the addition of either: 1) a polar organic solvent, with or without water, (where a polar aprotic solvent is added first) or 2) a polar aprotic solvent or other adjuvant to the peptide polar organic solvent (where the polar organic solvent is added first), to the peptide formulation.

Abstract:

A modified temperature compensation signal (110) is provided in a temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) circuit (100) in the following manner. A temperature dependent current generator (104) produces a temperature compensation signal (108) whose amplitude changes responsive to changes in ambient temperature. The temperature compensation signal (108) is scaled, based on a plurality of discrete frequency adjust values (212), to produce the modified temperature compensation signal (110).
