  • Patent number: 10085389
    Abstract: The modular plant support system is a modular trestle system adapted for use in horticulture. The modular plant support system comprises a plurality of stakes, a plurality of ties, and one or more interstake connectors. Each of the plurality of stakes further comprises a first plurality of hooks that provide vining and other growing plants climbing purchase points that allow plants to grow in a manner that optimizes exposure to sunlight and therefore plant yields. Each of the plurality of ties is a cord that is formed with a series of knobs that allows the plant to be secured to an individual stake without damaging the plant or constraining the growth path of the plant. Each of the one or more interstake connectors provides climbing purchases that allow a plant to expand in directions other than the vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 9964728
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus for mounting optical components in a manner that self-aligns the optical axes of the optical components. The apparatus uses an optical component mount that includes a housing consisting of a single rail mount configured to mechanically couple to a portion of a rail for supporting the optical component mount on a rail. The housing also has an optical component dock configured to support an optical component in a manner that defines an optical axis. The rail mount and the optical component dock are configured to make the optical axis substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the rail. Using such optical component mounts secured to the rail would result in the self-alignment of the optical axes of optical components on the optical component mounts. Various embodiments of such apparatus are also provided in the disclosure.
