摘要:
Volatile material dispensers are disclosed that include a substrate having a first wall portion with a first grasping portion and a second wall portion with a second grasping portion. The first wall portion and the second wall portion are substantially coplanar in a first state. The volatile material dispensers may further include at least one hinge joining the first wall portion and the second wall portion along a central axis and an insect control active. At least one of the first wall portion and the second wall portion is moveable about the central axis to form a configuration in which the first and the second wall portions are substantially not coplanar in a second state. The first grasping portion and the second grasping portion are coaxial with the central axis in the first state and the second state.
摘要:
A wildlife warning system that comprises at least two independent warning devices, wherein each warning device has an electric power supply, at least one signal generator, and a microcontroller for controlling the signal generator, and a communication means for wireless communication with other warning devices and/or with a base station for the purpose of forming a wireless network of wildlife warning devices.

An animal deterrent device includes an elongated carrier having an internal cavity. A conductive trace can be coupled to the carrier by a first fastener that extends from the conductive trace to the cavity, which prevents water from contacting the fastener and shorting the conductive trace.
摘要:
A deterrent device for delivering an electric shock to an animal, pest or bird to be deterred, having the typical components of a non-conductive base to which the electrically conductive elements are attached. Instead of the typically-used copper wire, however, the braided elements comprise smaller strands of a conductive material, such as copper, aluminum or stainless steel wire, is used and is mechanically attached to the non-conductive base. The braided elements can be mechanically attached using a simple sewing operation in which the braid is sewn to the base. Because of the mechanical attachment and the ability of the braided elements to flex in both contraction and extension, the device of this invention can be used in tight corners and other contorted locations without having the wires of the typical prior art device pull free of the base.
摘要:
An animal deterrence system projects polarised light in order to deter animals. The light may be plane polarised light and the polarisation may be varied over time. The system is particularly suited to deterrence of birds, but may also find application in deterrence of other animals sensitive to polarisation of light, such as bees and wasps. The system may be used on vineyards or orchards, or around airports, or in any other place where birds are problematic.
摘要:
The invention relates to a regulatory sequence which mediates expression of an operably-linked protein encoding a polynucleotide of interest, wherein the protein encoding polynucleotide is transcribed in leaf tissue and not in pollen. The invention also relates to an expression cassette, vector, and transgenic plant comprising the regulatory sequence.
摘要:
The present invention relates to regulatory sequences. In particular, the invention relates to a regulatory nucleotide sequence, at least part of which has a transcription initiation function directing expression of an operably associated protein encoding polynucleotide of interest to non-pollen tissue, but not or substantially not to pollen.The invention further relates to chimeric genes and expression cassettes comprising said regulatory sequence and to transgenic plants comprising said chimeric genes and expression cassettes.

摘要:
A cat scratching deterrent including a self standing blower unit with nozzles that can be positioned near and aimed at an area containing household items to be protected against cat scratching and a housing with a canister to hold an aerosol can of pressurized air and a battery power source; and a lid for the canister having a motor and cam assembly driven by the motor, with an enlarged caning portion projecting from the lid to actuate a valve of the aerosol can to supply air to said nozzles through a flexible connector tube, when motion is detected by a motion detector mounted in the housing.
摘要:
An air freshener or insecticide dispenser apparatus comprises a reservoir, an electrochemical cell for generating a gas, and varying its rate of release. The gas generated acts on the air freshener or insecticidal composition to dispense said composition from the apparatus.
