The method includes the use of a single-use tissue marking system for use in marking a tissue sample. A first surface of the sample is marked with a first ink defined by a first color; a second surface of the tissue is marked with a second ink defined by a second color; and a third surface of the sample is marked with a third ink defined by a third color. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20120183675 | SEED TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An automated seed treatment system is adapted for on-site operation at a retail seed distributor. A sealed seed-treater vessel is configured to apply a plurality of chemical treatments to a batch of seed based on a recipe. A programmable system controller is electrically coupled to pump controllers of pump-stations. The controller is configured to receive a material transfer indication from each pump-stations and control the pump controllers in accord with the seed treatment recipe. The programmable system controller is configured to collect operational data representing at least consumption of chemical from the chemical container at each of the pump-stations based on the corresponding material transfer indication during seed treatment and to provide the operational data to a remotely hosted information system located remotely from the site of the retail seed distributor and accessible to at least one third party that is distinct from the retail seed distributor. | 07-19-2012 |
| 20120189761 | AQUEOUS SUSPENSION OF ACTIVATED CARBON AND METHODS OF USE - The invention relates to an aqueous concentrate for agricultural use for dilution and spray application to soil or plant material comprising at least about 25% by weight activated carbon and a method of greening turf using the composition. | 07-26-2012 |
| 20120189762 | SEED TREATMENT FACILITIES, METHODS AND APPARATUS - A seed treatment system having a central computerized data store, a user interface, and network connections from the data store to a plurality of retail facilities and a plurality of agricultural produce suppliers. Each retail facility having a seed treatment system configured to uniformly treat batches of seeds with any of a variety of precisely measured chemical formulations. The seed treatment apparatus having a treatment applicator coupled to a plurality of dispensing stations. Each dispensing stations having a pump in fluid communication with a container disposed on a scale. The pump and scale of each dispensing station coupled to a system controller. The system controller is coupled to the data store, configured to provide on-demand agricultural seed treatments to the applicator and chemical usage data from each station to the data store. The data store configured to provide centralized remote monitoring inventory control, supply chain monitoring, and container recycling compliance. | 07-26-2012 |
| 20120315377 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED DISPENSING OF A SUBSTANCE ON ONE OR MORE SEEDS - Embodiments of the present invention provide automated apparatus, systems, and methods for dispensing a substance on a seed. An example embodiment provides a system for automated dispensing of a substance on a seed. The system comprises a seed container with a plurality of compartments each configured to retain a seed. The system further comprises a supply tank configured to retain the substance. The system also comprises at least one dispensing tip configured to dispense the substance and a pump connected to the supply tank and to the dispensing tip. The pump is configured to pump the substance from the supply tank to the dispensing tip. The system further comprises a controller configured to move at least one of the seed container or the dispensing tip relative to the other and to direct the pump to pump the substance into a compartment of the seed container. | 12-13-2012 |
| 20130136849 | SUB-MICRON COMPOSITIONS - The invention relates to sub-micron compositions, and methods of preparing such compositions, in particular for the treatment of substrates against biological degradation biological pests. | 05-30-2013 |
| 20130216696 | CONTROLLED, SUSTAINED RELEASE PARTICLES FOR TREATING SEEDS AND PLANTS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE PARTICLES - The invention relates to active particles, including core-shell particles, having low burst, controllable, sustained release which are useful for coating seeds. The active particles can also be used in sprayable and dry formulations for treating soil or plants. The particulate coating can also contain inert organic or inorganic material. The invention also relates to methods for preparing the active particles. The methods include: adding additional material to core particles to form a shell, removing active ingredient from a core surface to create an active-depleted shell, and crosslinking the outer layers of a core to form a shell. | 08-22-2013 |
| 20130273236 | SEED TREATMENT DEVICE WITH IMPROVED FLUID APPLICATION - A seed treater provides enhanced seed coating capabilities and performance. The seed and/or treatment fluid may be heated for improving vaporization and absorption by the seed. Air may be injected in the seed treater to provide heat, dehumidified air, and to provide vaporization enhancement, and component cleaning functions. The functions may be controlled by a control processor based on recipes and may be changed dependent upon sensed or input environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. | 10-17-2013 |
| 20140037834 | METHOD OF PRODUCING AN AGRICULTURAL POLYMER PROTECTED ROOT BALL - A root ball including soil disposed in and around root system and a layer of agricultural polymer around the soil and root system. The agricultural polymer creates a root ball having a semi-permeable, solid outer layer, which provides protection for the root system and eliminates the need for a container. | 02-06-2014 |
