Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for computer-assisted and automatic harvest, sorting, pruning, and trimming of agricultural products. In one implementation, the agricultural product may be a hemp or cannabis product. In one implementation, the agricultural product is automatically pruned through use an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated cutting path. In one implementation, the agricultural product is supported by a clamping assembly. In one implementation, the agricultural product is imaged in a positive-pressure imaging assembly. In one implementation, the agricultural product is automatically trimmed in a positive pressure cutting assembly.

Abstract: A method for formatting images for angle specific viewing in a scanning aperture dimensional display device. Input images are rearranged into slices or sections to create a set of output images. The images derived from the output images are formed by rearranging the image slices or sections and disposing the image to be viewed directly behind an open aperture in an aperture plate in a scanning aperture display device. By cycling the images in relation to the cycling of the open apertures of the aperture plate, angle specific viewing of the scanning aperture display can be provided. The number angles for angle specific viewing can be varied and can range from 2-1000 distinct viewing angles from a single scanning aperture display device.

Abstract: A novel combination of technologies from the fields of coffee roasting and solar-thermal energy collection enables the roasting of coffee beans by means of available solar energy with maximized efficiency. A solar receiving plate is provided configured to receive and convert solar radiation to thermal energy for heating a volume of air. A roasting chamber is provided configured for receiving and circulating the heated air from the solar plate. At least one valve is provided configured to be in at least one of a closed position and an open position for controlling at least one of air inflow and outflow into at least one of said solar receiving plate and said roasting chamber.

Abstract: The apparatus and method for maintaining eye contact during person to person video telecommunication includes disposing a video camera directly behind an OLED video display screen and synchronizing the video camera with the illumination levels of the display screen. This configuration allows the camera to observe the user from a natural face-on perspective, and effectively reconnects the eye-lines of the users, and restores all natural face-to-face emotional cues ordinarily disrupted by eye-line dissociation. Some embodiments include the use of this technique for stand-alone monitors, handheld devices, laptop computers, and the potential use in conjunction with autostereoscopic display technology, including wide look around or head and eye-tracking, for 3 dimensional eye-to-eye telecommunication.

Abstract: The backlight for use in scanning aperture display device utilizes a light or LED bank arranged in a predetermined configuration, a light carrying device for carrying the light generated by the LED bank to the scanning apertures of the display device, and a mask adapted to capture and focus the light generated by each LED into the respective light carrying device. The backlight is positioned behind the transmissive display of the scanning aperture display device.

Abstract: A device and method for retrofitting a 2D display monitor to provide 3D stereoscopic displays is provided. The device includes a shutter plate that is releasably connectable to the front of 2D display monitor, and an interface device connects the shutter plate to the computer driving the display. Through the use of time-multiplexed techniques, the shutter plate of the present invention provides true 3D stereoscopic displays from 2D display devices.
