Abstract: A sensor module having multiple sensors for collecting, analyzing, storing, and transmitting data related to environmental and plant growth data in an agricultural habitat, such as a greenhouse, is disclosed. One or more modules are placed at various locations in a greenhouse, to collect data including any of temperature, temperature gradient, humidity, light levels, light frequencies, soil moisture, soil composition, plant health, plant growth, plant quality e.g. maturity and/or fruit quantity and/or ripeness. The sensor module is adapted for robotic placement within the greenhouse, although the module ay initially be placed by hand. The module is powered by internal batteries or a large capacitor or capacitor array and is recharged by a greenhouse robot that may comprise any of a robot arm configured for movement within a greenhouse via a conveyer or track system, a wheeled robot, or a drone.

Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: Pointers are added to a 3D volumetric dataset to help the user visualize the direction of blood flow. A 3D volume containing at least one blood vessel is created. Next, the direction of the blood flow is determined. Next, at least pointer is placed into the 3D volume in an aligned fashion with the direction of blood flow such that the 3D volume is modified. Next, the modified 3D volume is displayed on a head display unit, such as an augmented reality or virtual reality display. Next, at least one pointer is advanced to a new position for additional modification of the 3D imaging volume.

Abstract: A display case having end jamb lighting module and a center mullion lighting module is disclosed. The lighting modules include a shell and at least one substrate whereon lighting elements are mounted. The shell defines engagement slots used to affix the substrate to the shell, and an aperture allowing light from the lighting elements to be projected out. The lighting module may include a second substrate upon which electrical components are mounted, the electrical components for conditioning input power for the lighting elements. A reflective portion of the shell or a separate reflector mounted on the shell operates on the light to form a desired spatial distribution of light. For robustness in construction, the lighting module end caps allow the secure passage of wires.

Abstract: A virtual object that represents a tangible object is displayed in a three-dimensional image. Responsive to a first input which may be movement of the tangible object, the virtual object moves within the three-dimensional image. Alteration of how the three-dimensional image is displayed occurs responsive to a second input. For example, virtual medical tools can be controlled by manipulating tangible tools to perform procedures and tasks virtually. Eye tracking can be used to generate variable angular resolution in the field of view in a head display unit with which the three-dimensional image is displayed. Digital objects may be used to cause the viewer's eyes move from feature to feature in a saccades fashion or a smooth tracking fashion.
