Abstract: A system for processing plant materials is described. The plant materials have at least plant stalks, and the plant stalks comprise at least bast fibers. The system has a crusher module for disrupting the plant materials without breaking or damaging the bast fibers thereof, thereby obtaining disrupted plant stalks and a first plant-remainder; a decorticator module coupled to the crusher module for separating the disrupted plant stalks into bast fibers as a first product and a second plant-remainder; and a screening module coupled to the decorticator module for separating at least the second plant-remainder to microfibers and hurds as a second and a third product, respectively.

Abstract: An electric signal digitizing device includes a line of propagation through which the signal travels and a plurality of samplers (141, . . . , 14N) connected at separate points on the line of propagation, such that each one samples the signal value at the connection point thereof. The device further includes an analog matrix memory including a line of which at least some elements are each connected to a sampler of the plurality of samplers to receive the value sampled by the sampler, and a means for the line-to-line shifting of stored values. An analog-digital conversion means is also provided for the analog-digital conversion of the stored values.
