5133962 Method of controlling coleopteran insects with bacillus thuringiensis
New Patents provided so as to inject the flushing water jet toward the trap discharge passage, an openingclosing valve is disposed in each of different feed lines, and the operation of the opening-closing valve is controlled by a control unit. The flushing water is flushed into the bowl portion so as to clean the same while the jet of flushing water is injected into the trap discharge passage to cause the same to act as a siphon, whereby waste matter is discharged.

Mobile apparatus is described for melting accumulated ice from surfaces such as aircraft, spacecraft, rocket assemblies, etc. The apparatus includes a heating source for heating air, a compressor, an elongated boom with a discharge head for discharging heated air, and controls for controlling the position of the boom. The apparatus avoids the need for chemicals and accordingly reduces pollution problems.

NEUTRALIZER FOR TOXIC AND NUCLEAR WASTE Gary N Poovey
METHOD OF CONTROLLING COLEOPTERAN INSECTS WITH BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS
A method and apparatus are disclosed wherein toxic and nuclear waste are pumped in a metered fashion or introduced through a sealing door into a plasma region. The plasma region is generated in a sealed chamber by a radio frequency plasma torch. In the plasma region the toxic waste is atomized and ionized. The recombining of the atomized and ionized molecules is managed in the sealed reaction chamber to yield environmentally neutral products. Encapsulation material that is either introduced into the process chamber with the waste or is resident in the process chamber encapsulates radioactive or heavy metal atoms in a glassy stone like material. This encapsulating renders the atoms environmentally neutral. The flow of material in and out of the reaction chamber are regulated carefully. The radio frequency power level is also carefully controlled. These controls insure the neutrality of the recombining products. The fluids exiting the chamber are filtered before release, to insure environmental neutrality.

Kevin W Druding, William Merkle An apparatus for transmitting infections medical waste to a sewer without personnel exposure employing a closed container having a waste tube and a suction tube extending thereinto. The waste is transmitted from an endoscope or other source into the container and the container is drained to a sewer under control of a vacuum applied to the inside of the container. The automated container drainage affords virtually unlimited container volume for improved cleaning of instrument internal channels.

A novel B.t. toxin gene encoding a protein toxic to coleopteran insects has been cloned from a novel coleopteran-active B. thuringiensis microbe. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes to express the B.t. toxin. These recombinant microbes can be used to control coleopteran insects in various environments.

STATION IN A WATER FLOW SYSTEM
Thomas Dion assigned to Gotherman William A water flow system for collecting and discharging waste water, storm water and the like includes a water pumping station into which water is delivered through an inflow main and from which water is pumped through a water discharge main. The pumping station has a water collection well, a pair of water pumps and a conduit arrangement by which the suction side of each pump is communicated with the well and the pressure side of each pump is communicated
