  • Patent number: 11950552
    Abstract: A vegetation wall system includes an irrigation tank, a vegetation mounting unit with a vegetation holding unit, a pump feeding water from the tank to the holding unit, a programmable logic control unit including a central processing unit and a sensor, wherein the central processing unit monitors an aspect in the wall system by measuring, by the sensor, a component of the aspect as a first component measurement, waiting a predetermined period of time and then measuring, by the sensor, the component of the aspect as a second component measurement, determining, by the central processing unit, a change in the aspect based on the first and second measurements and the predetermined period of time, determining whether the change is outside a threshold range, in response to determining that the change is outside the threshold range, determining that an anomalous condition exists, and generating an alert when the anomalous condition exists.

  • Patent number: 11606915
    Abstract: A method of monitoring at least one aspect in a vegetation wall system and an apparatus for doing the same. The method comprising measuring, by a sensor, a first component and a second component in the vegetation wall system; determining, by a processor, a change in the at least one aspect based on: the first component, the second component, and an amount of time between the measurement of the first component and the second component; determining whether the change in at least one aspect is outside a threshold range; and in response to determining the change in the at least one aspect is outside the threshold range, determining an anomalous condition exists.

  • Patent number: 9017004
    Abstract: A collapsible loading and transporting rack system for transporting a first vehicle on a second vehicle equipped with side rails. The system has a plurality of attachment rails, a plurality of support beams, a plurality of platform members, and a plurality of generally rectangular planar ramps. The rail bottom surface sets on top of a horizontal top surface, and the rail inside surface sets against a vertical inside surface of a side rail of a vehicle so equipped. The side stop tie down projects horizontally out and away from the horizontal attachment rail for securing the ramp in a horizontal position. The side stop tie down is an attachment point for securing a vehicle to the system.
