Abstract: An electric trimmer has an electric motor and power source, a pair of blade plates, at least one of which is connected to an oscillator mechanism in the electric motor, and a pair of guard plates disposed one on each side of the at least one of the pair of blade plates, the guard plates hosting a matching radial or linear pattern of slots having a uniform spacing, a uniform slot width, the slots breaking out past at least one edge of the guard plates, the guard plates, in assembly, creating a gap space there between. One or more operators may insert branches having buds or flowers thereon through any one of the matching slots in the slot pattern, the branch oriented orthogonal to the blade set with the blade plates oscillating to harvest the buds or flowers within the gap space.

Abstract: A solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) system including a stack of electrolyzer cells configured to receive liquid water that is heated using one or more heaters, and a mass flow controller configured to control the liquid water flowrate into the one or more heaters.

Abstract: A greenhouse for isolating one or more grow spaces containing a plant or plants from outside elements includes a frame structure that seats a plurality of smart glass panels that are adjustable relative to a state of translucence from transparency to complete opacity via an operable control on a control panel or by an automated process routine, the nature of the adjustment based on sensor input processed against static data resident on the control panel.

Abstract: A method for controlling the speed of vehicle is provided. The method comprises providing a memory device configured to store a plurality of predefined set-speeds therein. The method further comprises selecting a desired set-speed from the plurality of predefined set-speeds stored in the memory device. The method may further comprise determining whether the selected set-speed is appropriate based on one or more conditions. The method may still further comprise causing the vehicle to operate in accordance with the selected set-speed when it is determined that the set-speed is appropriate. A system comprising a memory device configured to store a plurality of predefined set-speeds, and electronic control unit configured to select a desired one of the predefined set-speeds stored in the memory is also provided.

Abstract: A method of purging fluids from a gas well wellbore having a tubing string and casing in fluid communication by introducing pressurized methane gas into either the tubing string or casing of the wellbore at the well surface to displace the fluids out of the wellbore through the counterpart casing or tubing string of the wellbore, and a system for storage and delivery of pressurized methane gas in which an assembly of aligned gas cylinders, each cylinder having a valve at one end, the valves contained within a manifold at one end of the assembly, the manifold having a single valve to control flow of the gas into and out of the cylinders of the assembly for delivery of the pressurized gas into a pipeline or wellbore.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising one or more delay circuits, a shimmer detector circuit, an averaging circuit, and a multiplexer. The delay circuits may be configured to have a delay of one or more frame periods based on the format of the input video signal. The shimmer detector circuit may be configured to (i) determine which pixel locations in the input video signal exhibit the YC-interference noise oscillation pattern based on the input signal and the output of the delay circuits and (ii) generate a control signal in response to the output of the delays circuits and the input signal. The averaging circuit may be configured to calculate an average of the input signal and the output of the first delay circuit. The multiplexer may be configured to present (i) the input signal when the control signal is in a first state and (ii) the average signal when the control signal is in a second state.

Abstract: A container body with a container opening and a flap partially secured to the container body and completely covering the container opening is disclosed. The flap is secured to the container by a hinge or fold line and formed from the same substrate as the container body. The container body contains a first magnetic region adjacent to and surrounding the perimeter of the container opening. The flap contains a second magnetic region aligned with and opposite the container body's first magnetic region. The first and second magnetic regions are magnetically attracted to each other. The flap is held in a closed position by magnetic attraction between the flap's magnetic region and the container body's magnetic region.

Abstract: A display for supporting and displaying golf clubs is configured to support the golf clubs by their heads such that the club shaft is oriented downwardly. The display includes a support member and at least one cradle mounted to the support member. The cradle has first and second upwardly curving arcuate support arms separated from one another by a trough. Each of the support arms defines an uppermost portion with the trough between the support arms. The cradle is configured such that the support arms uppermost portions are non-linear relative to one another through the trough. The golf club is positioned in the cradle resting one the support arms and with the shaft extending downwardly from about the trough.

Abstract: A multifunction keyboard accessory may be coupled to a keyboard. In an initial position, the multifunction keyboard accessory may function as a keyboard cover that inhibits unintentional activation of keys and protects the keyboard from spills and entry of other material between the keyboard keys. The multifunction keyboard accessory may be rotated from the initial position so that the keyboard accessory functions as a document holder. Alternately, the multifunction keyboard accessory may slide forward to function as a palmrest/wrist support.
