Appl. No.:

12/006076

International Classification:

A01N 37/00
A01P 5/00

US Classification:

514546

Abstract:

Slow-flow, modified ethyl formate compositions and methods for their use as pre-plant soil fumigants (controlling nematodes and other pathogens) are provided. The modifications include adding to ethyl formate a viscosity modifying thickening agent, and one or more substances which function as a co-solvent and dilution agent (the co-solvent and dilution may or may not be the same). The thickening agent increases the viscosity thereby slowing its flow or rate of transport through the soil. The co-solvent functions as the primary solvent for the viscosity modifying thickening agent. The dilution agent does two things. First, it is used to reduce the partial vapor pressure of the ethyl formate in the formulation, thereby slowing its evaporation rate. Second, it also slows the rate and amount of decomposition of the ethyl formate. The SFMEF compositions and methods do not have harmful ozone-depleting side effects and break down into two naturally-occurring, environmentally-friendly components. Thus they are useful as replacements for methyl bromide and other known ozone-depleting and/or highly toxic soil fumigants.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for improved generation of multi-modal transportation routes are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes generating a network of route segments. At least a portion of the route segments may be associated with a rideable modality. At least one route segment of the network may be updated based on a changed condition of the rideable modality. Routes may be generated, based on the network, that utilize the rideable modality and at least one of the routes may be sent to a computing device for display.

Abstract:

Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe surfacing a representation of digital artifacts for a user. An operation context associated with a user is identified. The operational context may correspond with an electronic document that is accessed through a productivity application. One or more of a plurality of digital artifacts may be identified based on the identified operational context. An exemplary representation of the one or more digital artifacts is surfaced through a user interface. An exemplary user interface may be a user interface of a productivity application, for example, where the electronic document is being accessed through the productivity application. In alternative examples, an exemplary user interface may be associated with a home service that is executed in association with an operating system (OS). In some instances, an operational context may change resulting in an update to an exemplary representation of digital artifacts. Other examples are also described.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/40
G06Q 40/00

Abstract:

The infrastructure that is used to process transactions may be used to create a report, thereby reducing the number of physical interactions involved to create a report. In one example, a pre-authorization for an event occurs and is sent to a real-time monitor. The real-time monitor identifies the physical location of the event, names associated with the event, and the purpose of the event. Further information about the event is then collected from a person who participates in the event. The event is then sent to a pending report monitor, which awaits notice of completion of the event from the physical infrastructure in which the event occurs. Once notice of event completion is received, the completed report of the event is submitted without further interaction with the person involved in the event.

International Classification:

C07C 209/24

US Classification:

564480

Abstract:

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of an amine (particularly diamines and polyamines) by reacting an alkanolamine or a polyol with ammonia in the presence of a catalyst composed of two active metals from the group of transition metals, namely nickel and chromium supported on a microporous refractory substrate, in a hydrogenated, trickle bed reactor.
