Insect barrier
BugBarrier Tree Band, from Envirometrics Systems, is a pesticide-free, pheromone-free, adhesive banding system that consists of a dense, flexible fiber barrier and an adhesive film barrier. It is easy to install and remove, and is required to be EPA registered as a “mechanical pesticide.” Fall and spring cankerworm, gypsy moth, winter moth and forest tent caterpillars are the most frequently targeted pests. However, the band can also trap other insects. READER SERVICE #51

Barcode scanner
DENSO ADC released its AT20B handheld barcode scanner. DENSO’s Advanced Scan Plus technology gives the AT20B twice the scanning speed of previous models, increasing operator efficiency. A super-deep scanning field allows smooth close-up and distant operation, regardless of the scanner’s position. Using the latest DENSO algorithms, the AT20B can scan poorly printed or otherwise difficult-to-read barcodes. The device also allows trouble-free scanning of wide barcodes. The AT20B is extremely durable, with a shock-absorbing construction that allows it to withstand being dropped onto a concrete floor 6 times from a height of 1.8 meters or 60 times from 1.5 meters. The device also features IP42 dust- and water-resistant protection, as well as a connector-cable locking mechanism that prevents damage to the connector or cable. A data-verification function allows verification to be done with a single scanner, while data-editing functions allow simple programming (ADF scripting) for data truncating, sorting and converting. A command-control function enables the scanner to be controlled by a PC for fully automated operation. READER SERVICE #53
