According to some embodiments of the present invention, there are provided a flowing water channel device, comprising, a tubular conduit made of fluid impervious material and at least one slit extending along a longitudinal axis of the tubular conduit, a first and a second marginal edge of the tubular conduit are opposing to one another, and at least one fluid permeable sheet material layer passing via the at least one slit and having a first marginal portion spread within the tubular conduit along the longitudinal axis and a second marginal portion spread outside of the tubular conduit along the longitudinal axis.

A drip irrigation lateral comprising a water conduit manufactured of a polymeric composition comprising pyrethroid.

A method and system reprocess soiled animal bedding material commingled with animal manure. In one aspect the soiled animal bedding material is separated in a shaker to send at least a preponderance of said manure to a holding tank. In another aspect the bedding is cleaned, rinsed and color is restored. Said bedding material is subsequently dried and a bedding product, fertilizer product, and/or compacted product is formed. Alternatively, said bedding material is dried (without a compacting step) to form a product. In another aspect, the steps of separation, cleaning, rinsing and/or color restoration may be omitted.

The bedding material is subsequently dried and compacted to form a compacted product. Alternatively, the bedding material is dried (without a compacting step) to form a product.

A composition adapted for the production of a thermosetting elastomer with antimicrobial capabilities by vulcanization by molding includes an elastomer, a catalyst and/or a vulcanization activator, and an antimicrobial additive that includes zinc pyrithione and silver phosphate glass in a 1:1 ratio by weight.

A dairy inflation (10) for use in a milking device, including a flexible sleeve (24) adapted to surround a teat, wherein the flexible sleeve (24) includes a clear polyurethane composition. The clear polyurethane composition can be derived from a polyol mixture including a glycerine-based polyol having an average molecular weight in a range from about 200 g/mol to about 300 g/mol, and a first hydroxyl value; and a glycol-based polyol having an average molecular weight in a range from about 600 g/mol to about 700 g/mol, and a second hydroxyl value; and about 0.65 to about 1.05 stoichiometric equivalents of a cross-linking agent comprising a plurality of isocyanate groups, wherein the stoichiometric equivalents is based on a sum of the first and second hydroxyl values.

An irrigation tube having outlets extending along the length of the tube in a spaced relationship and finely-divided silica or iron oxide particles dispersed in the tube thereby increasing a surface hardness of the tube to deter rodent, worm or insect damage, the silica particles further can include an odor repellant located within the particles.

The present invention relates to a system that allows the manufacturing and/or continuous automated production of at least one film, cover, mantle and/or mesh made of polyethylene, plastic material, among other materials, which comprises in an integrated manner at least one fluid distribution line, so that the manufactured product allows to deploy both component simultaneously, without the need to be deployed on a field separately, which comprises at least one device for continuous and automatic feeding of the film, layer, mat and/or cover made of polyethylene and/or plastic (2), at least one device for continuous and automatic feeding of at least one element for delivery, distribution and/or removal of fluid (3), preferably at least one irrigation line, at least one automatic and continuous feeding device of at least one sleeve (4), at least one thermofusion device (5), and at least one control system.

The present invention relates to an automatic integrated continuous procedure for the one-piece production and manufacturing of at least one layer, cover, mat and/or film of polyethylene and/or plastic material attached, fastened and/or integrated with at least one element for the delivery, distribution and/or removal of fluid, comprising the steps of feeding a film, layer, cover and/or mat of polyethylene and/or plastic unfolded toward a thermofusion unit comprising drag idlers whereby the film, layer, mat and/or cover passes, where high-temperature silicone wheels are arranged above said drag idlers, so that when they touch said idlers together they become the dragging means of the film, layer, cover and/or mat which are arranged between said idlers and silicone wheels, feeding a film sleeve to be arranged and/or placed over the irrigation line already deployed over the film, layer, cover and/or mat arranged between said idlers and silicone wheels, and thermofusing the peripheral edges of said film sleeve that are arranged or placed over the film, layer, cover and/or mat, producing the coupling of the film sleeve with the film, layer, cover and/or mat fusing them together in conjunction with the pressure produced by the silicone wheels welding the two plastics, ensuring that the element for the delivery, distribution and/or removal of fluid is not thermofused with the fused plastics, remaining attached, fastened and/or arranged between the film sleeve and the film, layer, cover and/or mat.
