Abstract: A system and method for collecting information related to harvesting, or processing, of cannabis plants. A mobile device scans a tag associated with a plant and determines a unique code from the scan. A scale weighs the plant and transmits the weight to the mobile device. The mobile device stores the weight in association with the unique code in a database. The system automatically advances to a next plant for processing without user intervention.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the acceleration of the operation of a probabilistic sampling device for applications including homography estimation and wireless signal detection, which may include reducing the number of iterations associated with probabilistic sampling. Techniques are also disclosed for corner feature extraction from event-based cameras, which may be implemented via an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) or Autonomous Driving (AD) system.

Abstract: Various aspects include an alignment key for a turbomachine, along with a turbomachine including the alignment key and a related storage medium. In some cases, the alignment key includes: a body having primary axis and sized to engage a diaphragm slot in the turbomachine, the body having sidewalls extending along the primary axis; a chamfered tip section continuous with the body, the chamfered tip section sized to engage a casing slot in the turbomachine; and a slot extending through the body and the chamfered tip section, the slot having a first opening proximate an end of the body and a second opening proximate the chamfered tip section, wherein the sidewalls of the body taper from the end of the body toward the chamfered tip section.

Abstract: A support block for a steam turbine casing, a related assembly and apparatus. Various embodiments include a steam turbine casing support block having: a body portion sized to substantially fill a pocket in a steam turbine casing, the body portion having a greater length than a depth or a width; a set of tabs extending from the body portion, each of the set of tabs sized to substantially fill a corresponding slot in the steam turbine casing, wherein the set of tabs are located at a radially outwardly facing wall of the body portion; and a pin hole on a bottom surface of the body portion for receiving a retaining member.

Abstract: Gene expression profiles produced in response to lunasin exposure, wherein such gene expression profiles correlate with anti-neoplastic activity, methods for using such expression profiles for screening potential anti-neoplastic agents, and methods for treatment and monitoring of a subject having a neoplastic disease.

Abstract: A manually actuated heat press machine for applying a heat transfer to a substrate. The machine comprises a housing having a lower platen attached thereto. Pivotally connected to the housing is an actuation handle which is selectively moveable between a press position and a release position relative thereto. Attached to the actuation handle is an upper platen which is reciprocally movable toward and away from the lower platen thereby. The upper platen is attached to the actuation handle so as to be in substantial alignment with and in spaced relation to the lower platen. Cooperatively engaged to the housing and to the upper platen is a linkage mechanism for maintaining the upper platen in substantial alignment with the lower platen when the actuation handle is moved between its press and release positions.
