The present invention provides a new insect pest control agent that can instantly stop the movement of an insect pest and kill the insect pest, but that does not have a risk of explosion or ignition and that does not destroy the ozone layer and that has a low global warming potential, and therefore that can be safely used. An insect pest control agent comprising 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene as an active agent solves the above problem.

Improvements in an agricultural manual sprayer for preventing leakage of fluids such as insecticides, herbicides or fungicides that comprises tank with a large storage capacity into which a pressure vessel is installed. A manually activated pumping assembly is connected with the inferior section of the pressure vessel and also with the inferior section of the tank. The pumping assembly comprises a reciprocating piston pump for extracting the fluid from the storage tank and pressurizing it within the pressure vessel. The pressurized fluid is applied with a hose and a throttle valve attached to the pressure vessel. The assembly also comprises a double walled piston and barrier against leakage consisting of a ring with interior lips which seal it against the cylinder preventing the exit of fluid, forcing it to remain in the collection chamber until it is emptied with the downward movement of the piston, returning the liquid from the collection chamber to the storage tank through a return hose and internal ducts.

The invention relates to the application of liquid active substances with the aid of a portable spray device. The subject matter of the present invention is a portable device for applying active substances, and a method for applying active substances with the aid of a portable spray device.

The invention relates to the application of liquid active substances with the acid of a portable spray device. The subject matter of the present invention is a system comprising a portable spray device and a replaceable cartridge that contains an active substance concentrate. The invention also relates to method for applying a liquid active substance formulation. In addition, the invention discloses a replaceable cartridge that has a memory unit in which information is stored relating to an adjustable dilution ratio for the active substance concentrate contained in the cartridge. The invention also relates to a spray device comprising a control unit that can be read out a memory unit of cartridge attached to the spray device and, on the basis of the read out information, adjust a dilution ratio for the active substance concentrate contained in the cartridge.

The invention relates to the application of liquid active substances with the aid of a portable spray device. The subject matter of the present invention is a portable device for applying active substances, and a method for applying active substances with the aid of a portable spray device.

The present invention relates to the application of liquid active substances. The subject matter of the present invention is a system, a method and a computer program product for the application of an active substance concentrate from a replaceable cartridge in a diluted form onto a target object with the aid of a portable spray device, wherein important parameters of the spray process are exchanged between the cartridge and/or the spray device and/or an external computer system.

A misting system having an external compartment, an interior housing, a container housing, an electrical compartment, a lid assembly, and at least one outlet. The external compartment has a top face with a hole, a cavity, and an electrical cover panel. The interior housing has a top face with a hole, and lateral faces with a respective pivot hole. The container housing has lateral faces having pivoting protrusions, which are positioned onto each pivot hole of the interior housing lateral faces. The electrical compartment has a cover panel, a battery and a pump assembly. The lid assembly has a locking tab, a panel locking tab, a latching-limiter rod, and a spear. The electrical cover panel of the external compartment mounts onto the electrical compartment, and the cover panel of the electrical compartment mounts onto the external compartment. The lid assembly covers the external compartment and the electrical compartment.

A power sprayer is disclosed herein. The power sprayer includes a support frame configured to mount to a back of a user, a liquid reservoir affixed to the support frame, and a fluid distribution wand hydraulically coupled to the liquid reservoir and configured to distribute the volume of liquid from the liquid reservoir. The power sprayer may further include a compressed air assembly affixed to the support frame. The compressed air assembly may include a compressed air tank and a pressure regulator. The compressed air assembly may be pneumatically coupled with the liquid reservoir and configured to internally pressurize a volume of liquid in the liquid reservoir with compressed air from the compressed air tank and via the pressure regulator and a plurality of valves. The power sprayer may be configured for autonomous mobility independent of an air compressor.

An insect pest control agent comprising 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene as an active agent solves the above problem.

A monitoring apparatus that monitors an operation of a fluid dispensing system. The fluid dispensing system includes at least one storage unit, a dispensing arrangement, and a pumping arrangement for providing a flow of the fluid from to the dispensing arrangement. The monitoring apparatus includes a sensing arrangement that is connected to the fluid dispensing system, wherein the sensing arrangement measures operational performance of the flow of the fluid dispensed through the dispensing arrangement and a server arrangement communicably coupled to the sensing arrangement via a data communication network. The server arrangement acquires the operational performance of the flow of the fluid dispensed, generates an actionable information for adjusting optimal dispensing of the fluid and provides the actionable information to a user device to report an operational status of the fluid dispensing system.
