Abstract: An integrated plant cultivation system for enhancing plant cultivation efficiency in controlled environments or agricultural facilities may incorporate a growth-inducing light source. The system may include a versatile rack assembly for multi-level plant cultivation with boxes on each level. The boxes may contain incubation chambers for plant growth. An irrigation system may connect to the incubation chambers, providing water and nutrient solutions tailored to each chamber's unique nutrition needs. The system may also include a drainage management system to recover excess water and nutrients, promoting sustainability. In addition, the system may further include a ventilation sub-system configured to provide ideal atmospheric conditions within the incubation chambers. The system may further comprise a controller configured to oversee the growth-inducing light source and environmental parameters in each chamber, optimizing plant development according to their specific growth stages and requirements.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for automatically providing similar product recommendations for sold-out products promoted on non-merchant publisher sites, wherein the similar product recommendations are filtered for publisher preferences. A computer system with a product database provides a platform that enables non-merchant publishers to search products in the database, create call-to-actions on publisher sites for products in the database, and automatically receive similar product recommendations when end users of the publisher sites attempt to purchase promoted products that are now sold out. Once a publisher creates a call-to-action for a product that subsequently becomes sold out, similar product recommendations are provided without requiring any action on the publisher's part to change the publisher's site. Similar product recommendations are tailored to each publisher to account for publisher preferences.

Abstract: A bracket for attaching lights to a ceiling, such as a drop ceiling, is disclosed. The bracket has an L-shaped upper section, a connector, and an upside down U-shaped lower section, with serifs extending inward only. Adjacent to the connector is a space or portal adapted for receipt of a portion of the ceiling. Thus, the bracket sits both above and below the ceiling and can be placed on to the ceiling without need of additional tools. The bracket fits, for example, snugly around a grid used to support ceiling tiles, the bracket being between a ceiling tile and grid, with lights attached to a lower side of the bracket.

Abstract: A direct current electrical power system having AC grid power attached to the bus through AC/DC converter, PV panel attached to the bus through DC/DC pre-conditioner, a first direct current load attached directly to the bus, and a second direct current load attached to the bus through a DC/DC converter. The function of the AC grid and AC/DC converter is to create and regulate the DC bus voltage. The function of the PV power is to provide as much power as required to the DC loads. Since the conversion efficiency of the DC/DC pre-conditioner is much higher than that of the AC/DC converter, the conversion loss is greatly reduced if the load is mainly powered from PV instead of AC grid. In addition, a battery can be attached to the bus through a battery charger/controller, which is a bi-directional DC/DC converter.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed to a light fixture and a method of assembly thereof. The light fixture is generally formed of two opposing side rails joined to two opposing caps. The fixture has two panels: an upper panel and a lower panel. The upper panel is formed of a generally flat, deflectable elongated section having a plurality of lights disposed on or in a surface thereof. The upper panel is deflected to form a substantially curvilinear panel, the edges of which are engaged into a slot on the side rails and/or the end caps. The lower panel is also generally flat and formed of a transparent or translucent material. The lower panel is disposed below the upper panel, such that the light projected from the lights on the upper panel projects through the lower panel.

Abstract: Methods for the determination of renal failure, especially chronic renal failure and acute kidney injury, by measurement of peptide or protein biomarkers are described. The methods are useful to determine stages of renal failure, especially the early stages such as stage 1, 2, and 3 of chronic renal failure and stages R and I of acute kidney injury. Furthermore there are described peptides and test kits used in the invention. The described methods are intended to replace or complement the measurement of creatinine and/or cystatin C and/or NGAL for diagnosis of renal failure.

Abstract: A picture frame includes a substantially transparent support member adapted for supporting a picture such that one may view the picture through the support member. The support member includes a first side and a second side wherein the second side is opposite the first side. The picture frame further includes a first image formed along the first side of the support member and a second image formed along the second side of the support member. The second image is formed about an entire periphery of the second side of the support member so as to define a border shaped and dimensioned for positioning a picture therein for viewing from the opposite side of the support member. The picture frame further includes a picture support adjacent the second side of the support member in a manner permitting viewing of the picture through the support member.
