Abstract: A system for plant cultivation includes decks having an upper face and a lower face, the decks disposed in a vertical array, each deck having sides connected at corners, each corner extending outward beyond the sides to form a protuberance.

Abstract: A cable assembly includes a cable having an insulator holding a first signal conductor and a second signal conductor and a cable shield surrounding the insulator. Exposed portions of the signal conductors extend forward of an end of the insulator for termination to a circuit card. The cable assembly includes a ground clip coupled to the end of the cable. The ground clip includes a bottom ground rake below the cable and a top ground hood above the cable. The bottom ground rake includes a window that receives the exposed portions of the first and second signal conductors therethrough. The bottom ground rake includes a lower grounding tab electrically connected to a lower portion of the cable shield and the top ground hood includes an upper grounding tab electrically connected to an upper portion of the cable shield. The bottom ground rake is coupled to the circuit card to support the cable relative to the circuit card.

Abstract: The present application discloses natural compositions as medicaments and wellness products comprising of one or more cannabinoids and little or no THC comprised with other natural ingredients used for alleviating premenstrual, menstrual, and menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, nausea, and Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). The invention also contemplates methods of use of said compositions.

Abstract: A microelectronic device that is radiation hardened through the incorporation of a quantum structure getter (QSG) is provided. The device, such as a field effect transistor (FET) includes a conductive channel and a material stack comprising: a capping layer, one or more barrier layers comprising a high band gap, one or more quantum structures comprising a small band gap, and a substrate. The quantum structures are positioned in close proximity to the conductive channel to form a quantum well charge getter. The getter forms a low energy area beneath the FET, which traps and confines electron-hole pair wave functions produced from ionizing radiation, causing the wave functions overlap, recombine, and produce light emission. The quantum structures getter the wave functions, which reduces the ionized photocurrent that reaches the conducting channel, thereby hardening the microelectronic device against ionizing radiation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic bale strapping mechanism for dispensing, cutting, and securing strapping material around a bale of material being formed by a baling press. The automatic bale strapping mechanism can be an integral component or series of components to a conventional baling press. The bale strapping mechanism includes a draw and cutter assembly comprising a mobile draw carriage that draws strapping material a predetermined distance for cutting. The bale strapping mechanism can also include a dispensing mechanism which dispenses strapping material and an insertion assembly which carries strapping material through an extrusion chamber chute of a baling press. Methods of automatically drawing and cutting strapping material are also an aspect of the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a metamaterial focal plane array for broad spectrum imaging. Electromagnetic energy in the form of light is absorbed in or on a metamaterial absorber and a subsequent hot carriers are collected either in a semiconductor space charge region (e.g. P-N junction), or in some other modern collection scheme. Following the accumulation of photogenerated charge (electrons or holes), the signal is then converted to a digital signal using conventional or slightly modified ROIC modules.

Abstract: The present disclosure is direct to a system for regulating a velocity of gases in a turbomachine. The system includes an exhaust section of the turbomachine. The system also includes a damper having an actuator and a restriction. The damper is positioned within the exhaust section and is operable to adjust the velocity of the gases based on a position of the restriction. The system further includes a controller communicatively coupled to the damper. The controller is configured to control the position of the restriction to regulate the velocity of the gases relative to a predetermined velocity range.
