Abstract: A protection circuit senses when one supply circuit in a group is activating to deliver current to a circuit component and issues firing signals to simultaneously activate other supply circuits in the group. The supply circuits may deliver large currents and high power. The protection circuit may prevent damage to a system that might otherwise occur if one supply circuit in the group activates in isolation.

Abstract: A process for growing mycelium with cannabis, by designing and filling a spawn bag with medium containing cannabis, water and optional grain, followed by inoculating and maturing mycelium spawn to grow and harvest mushrooms with optional drying thereafter.

Abstract: The invention is an important innovation in mushroom culture in which not only are mycelia beneficially grown on the novel combination of a grain (or seed) and an herb, in the preferred embodiment of the invention the mycelial mass is grown in a co-fermentation with all of a grain (or seed), an herb and a juice.

Abstract: A computing device includes a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to generate spectrograms, for example, using short-time Fourier transform, for a plurality of channels of reference and test ambisonic signals. In some implementations, the test ambisonic signal may be generated by decoding an encoded version of the reference ambisonic signal. The processor is further configured to compare, for each of the plurality of channels of a reference ambisonic signal, at least a patch associated with a channel of the reference ambisonic signal with at least a corresponding patch of a corresponding channel of the test ambisonic signal and determine a localization accuracy of the test ambisonic signal based on the comparison. In some implementations, the comparing may be based on phaseograms of the reference and test ambisonic signals.

Abstract: The invention is an important innovation in mushroom culture in which not only are mycelia beneficially grown on the novel combination of a grain (or seed) and an herb, in the preferred embodiment of the invention the mycelial mass is grown in a co-fermentation with all of a grain (or seed), an herb and a juice. The resulting mycelial biomass contains dramatically improved medicinal and nutritional constituents compared to mushrooms grown on standard, prior art media.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to direct fill fueling systems and devices for filling and venting a tank. A direct fill fueling system can include the tank, a fill neck for receiving a nozzle, and a nozzle bounding member for setting an insertion depth of the nozzle received by the fill neck. The nozzle bounding member can include a stop that can be aligned with the opening of the fill neck and configured to obstruct the motion of the nozzle, when the nozzle is inserted into the fill neck. The nozzle bounding member can be provided as a tubular insert. The tubular insert can include the stop. The stop can include one or more locating slats positioned at an end of the tubular insert.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of wowing mushrooms, preferably but not necessarily) Basiomycetes mushrooms, on a substrate that includes unrefined, live or dried cannabis plants (whole or particulated) preferably those cannabis, strains high in CBD and low in THC or containing a preferred ratio thereof, as part or all of the growth medium for the mushrooms.

Abstract: A wheelchair includes a base with horizontal portions and a portion that extends between the horizontal portions to define an open. An occupant support structure is carried by the base and rotates with respect to the base. In addition, the occupant support structure has seat, back and leg portions that are movable between sitting and reclining positions.

Abstract: A device, system and method for assisting an elderly, disabled, or infirmed person to rise from a lying or substantially lying position, at or near floor level, to at least a sitting position with minimal or no assistance from another person. The device may be, at its lowest or substantially most compressed position, low enough to be accessible to a person lying at or near floor level who may have very limited mobility due to age, a disability, or an infirmity. The device, system and method may additionally provide a secondary mode, and/or an optional aspect of the device, for moving the person once in the seated position to a standing position using the device.

Abstract: Adjustable cuffs pivotally secured and movable between open and closed positions. The adjustable handcuffs include first and second bracelets that have a respective cheek and jaw. Each bracelet has a coupling that angularly rotates at least one of the cheek or jaw in a predetermined first rotational direction at a center pivot point and a lock for opening and closing the bracelet. A linkage connects the first and second bracelets. A first end of the linkage is adjustably received by an anti-backup locking mechanism that is integral with at least one of the first or second bracelets.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method of actuating a manual ventilator system bag to cause patient ventilation. The apparatus, system and method include a pressure exerter proximate to the manual ventilator system bag; and an actuator suitable for remote actuation of said pressure exerter. In embodiments, actuation of the actuator remotely causes the pressure exerter to make contact with and exert pressure against the manual ventilator system bag to thereby execute ventilation of the patient associated with an inlet hose/tube.
