Abstract: A farming method includes: loading a broad spectrum of plant nutrients into a zeolite substrate; using the loaded zeolite substrate to grow crops for a plurality of cycles; and recycling the used zeolite substrate.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for realizing multi-column continuous chromatography design and analysis based on a chromatography model, and a method for realizing multi-column continuous chromatography design and analysis based on an artificial neural network.

Abstract: A housing assembly has a housing having an open end. A plurality of magnets are fixed to an inner surface of the housing. A magnet holder supports the magnets against movement in the axial and circumferential directions. A cover is mounted in the magnet holder for fixing the magnets in the radial direction. The cover is resiliently deformed when assembled to the magnet holder and magnets, and abuts and resiliently urges the magnets towards the inner surface of the housing.

Abstract: An apparatus including a first handheld device and a known radio pack. The first handheld device may include a radio microphone, and an integrated video recorder. The first handheld device communicates with the radio pack through the radio microphone and a communications link. The first handheld device may further include a global positioning satellite receiver configured to supply a global positioning satellite location of the first handheld device to the video recorder. The first handheld device may include a computer display screen and a play button; wherein the computer display screen communicates with the video recorder and displays videos recorded by the video recorder in response to selection of the play button. The first handheld device may further include a recording microphone different from the radio microphone; wherein the recording microphone communicates with the video recorder and to cause audio to be recorded and linked to recorded video.

Abstract: An image zooming method for adjusting an image in a monitor display area includes the steps of setting at least one focus region in the image in the monitor displaying area; obtaining a focus center in accordance with the focus region; setting a zooming rate of the image; obtaining a shift vector in accordance with a display center of the monitor display area, the focus center and the zooming rate; and shifting the image in the monitor display area in accordance with the shift vector, and setting the size of the image in the monitor display area in accordance with the zooming rate.
