  The $^{92}$Mo($\alpha,n$)$^{95}$Ru, $^{94}$Mo($\alpha,n$)$^{97}$Ru, and
$^{112}$Sn($\alpha,\gamma$)$^{116}$Te cross sections were measured at the upper
end of the $p$-process Gamow window between 8.2 MeV and 11.1 MeV. Our results
are slightly lower than global Hauser-Feshbach calculations from the code
NON-SMOKER, but still within the uncertainty of the prediction. The
$^{112}$Sn($\alpha,\gamma$)$^{116}$Te cross section agrees well with a recently
measured thick-target cross section in the same energy range. For the
$^{92,94}$Mo($\alpha,n$) reactions the present data close to the reaction
thresholds could eliminate previous uncertainties within a factor of 20, and we
can present now useful comparisons to statistical model calculations with
different optical potentials.
