20160078642 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO CREATE AND CONSUME A WORKFLOW AS A VISUAL CHECKLIST - Disclosed are method and apparatus either of which enables a user who wants to communicate instructions for performing certain tasks (possibly in a specific way) to other people, to do so easily, precisely, and in detail. The technique enables the receiving party to easily consume, i.e., understand, follow, and communicate completion of, these instructions, while being able to communicate with the person who generated the instructions. As well, the technique generates an audit trail for the person who created the instructions. The person communicating the instructions for performing certain tasks can automatically track the completion of the tasks, as well as view analytics related to the tasks, their completion, and the actions of the person(s) performing them. | 03-17-2016 |

20090186761 | Use of bio-derived surfactants for mitigating damage to plants from pests - A method is described for treating soil to increase plant growth or improve the health of plants, wherein an aqueous solution of a bio-derived surfactant obtained from natural lipids has pesticidal effects. In some embodiments, the method can be used against soil pests such as at least one of nematodes, soil-dwelling insects, and weeds. The invention also pertains to methods for applying bio-derived surfactants to crops and other plants or to the soil used for such plants in order to reduce the need to apply environmentally unfriendly pesticides substances. | 07-23-2009 |
20090186767 | Use of surfactants for mitigating damage to plants from pests - A method is described for treating soil to increase plant growth or improve the health of plants, wherein an aqueous solution of polyethoxylated fatty acids and/or fatty alcohols is used which has pesticidal effects. In some embodiments, the method can be used against soil pests such as at least one of nematodes, soil-dwelling insects, and weeds. The invention also pertains to methods for applying bio-derived surfactants to crops and other plants or to the soil used for such plants in order to reduce the need to apply environmentally unfriendly pesticides substances. | 07-23-2009 |
20090187484 | Soil treatments with carbon dioxide - A method is described for treating soil to increase plant growth or improve the health of plants, wherein a combination of carbon dioxide and a surfactant having pesticidal effects is applied. The invention also pertains to methods for applying bio-derived surfactants in combination with carbon dioxide to crops and other plants or to the soil used for such plants in order to reduce the need to apply environmentally unfriendly pesticides or fertilizers, as well as to improved methods of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by applying the carbon dioxide to plants and soil in combination with surfactants, particularly bio-derived surfactants that can reduce the activity of certain pests in the soil. | 07-23-2009 |

20110208503 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EMULATING REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF A PLUG-IN DEVICE - The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for emulating removal and insertion of a plug-in device, including a detection signal input and a detection signal output for a detection signal of the plug-in device, a control signal input for a control signal from a host system, and a unit which is constructed such that in a first state of the switch the detection signal input and the detection signal output are connected and in a second state of the unit the detection signal input and the detection signal output are disconnected and wherein the state of the unit depends on the control signal. The unit preferably includes a switch. The disclosure further relates to a method for emulating removal and insertion of a plug-in device wherein a control signal is applied to the control signal input of the apparatus requesting removal and insertion of the plug-in device, the detection signal input is disconnected from the detection signal output by bringing the unit into the second state and the detection signal input is connected to the detection signal output by bringing the unit into the first state. | 08-25-2011 |
