Abstract: Systems and methods herein improve plant growth through a combination of monochromatic laser light and Emerson effect enhancement. A microcontroller can change the frequency of a laser module and an LED array to enhance growth. For example, 663 nm can be used as an energy pump, and a phytochrome effect can be applied at 730 nm during flowering to extend the amount of time a flowering plant can handle light. A racking system can accept slidable LED lights for easy positioning. Additionally, a controller can use one or more scalar wave guides for channeling scalar energy. These can be active or passive. In one example, a controller causes the scalar wave guide to create an electromagnetic cancelation field whereby the device harnesses the fundamental earth Shuman resonance of 7.83 Hz and amplifies it to create anions in a predominantly cation rich environment.

Abstract: A given pixel of a pixel array includes various operation modes with each of the operation modes having a different conversion gain for the charge received from the photodetector of the pixel. When the modes are used in conjunction with one another, the dynamic range of the pixel can be increased. A readout circuit coupled to a photodetector within a given pixel includes a transfer gate between the photodetector and a gain mode select block that includes capacitors of different sizes and one or more switches to control which capacitors are to receive the charge from the photodetector. Depending on the state(s) of the one or more switches, different operation modes with different conversion gains can be selected to increase the dynamic range of the pixel. The adaptability of the readout circuit can allow for a high dynamic range even in extreme temperature environments by lowering the dark current.
