We are currently celebrating our sixth patent which was awarded on November 2, 2017 (co-author). Australian Patent #2014237064 Congratulations to all of the scientists and attorneys involved! It was a pleasure working with all of you.

The first spinoff product using innTrap® technology was awarded another international award. This time from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization in 2017. The spinoff trap is modified to catch the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus species) with drastically increased efficacies.

The first spinoff product using innTrap® technology was awarded "Best New Product for the Middle East Market- Agriculture" at the 2016 annual AGRAME conference in Dubai. The spinoff trap is modified to catch the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus species) with drastically increased efficacies. "Electrap" is officially endorsed by United Arab Emirates Ministry of Climate Change & Environment. Dr. Dykstra was not present to receive the award.

Congratulations to my current and past employees for helping to contribute to our 8000th experiment! This is a testament to their diligence and commitment.

A fifth patent has been been awarded to us! "Insect Trap With Reflective Interior Walls" has now been stamped with Patent # 9,775,334 on October 3, 2017.

We have just finished analyzing the ORCOs (Odorant Receptor Co-receptors) and their importance in insect olfaction is now apparent. It is also clearer why they are found in some arthropods and not others. The secrets of the insect olfactory code are revealing themselves little by little.

After deciphering the insect olfactory code, it is much easier to see why mosquitoes are so good at detecting carbon dioxide. I do not enjoy being around them, but they are amazing creatures so I will give them due respect.

A mystery has been solved. After about 20 years of investigating how insects smell, we have finally determined how insect olfaction works at the level of the dendritic membrane (as of November 2016). At first, I was relieved, but now I am excited to see where we can take this new information. One door has closed for us, but another has opened.

The second part of "Radiating Systems for Affecting Insect Behavior" was awarded on November 3, 2015. This separate but related patent was given the number 9,173,388. Someday, I will commit these numbers to memory. Today is not that day.

04/16/2015

...and the number is 8,984,800! "Radiating Systems for Affecting Insect Behavior" This second one was sure easier to obtain than the first U.S. Patent.

When it rains, it pours! Recently informed of an "allowance" for another patent we applied for. This means it is in the process of...um going somewhere! Should be a while before we get an actual number assigned to it. So, it is good news, just maybe a bit premature.

12/08/2014

What's in a number? On 11/25/14 the USPTO awarded us Patent #8,893,428 "System for Trapping Insects". Personally, I wish the number were easier to remember. Anyhow, happy to share the good news!
