Abstract: A system and method for manipulating an electrical potential of a plurality of plants, may include electrically and mechanically connecting plant electrodes to a plurality of plants, connecting the plant electrodes to a DC power source, connecting the DC power source to a growth medium via a grounding electrode; and providing DC power to the plurality of plants. The connection of the plurality of plant electrodes to the plurality of plants may include inserting at least a portion of each plant electrode into inner layers of the plant, in proximity to a lowest branching point of each plant.

Abstract: A system for dry artificial pollination of cultivated trees or shrubs by insect-borne pollen comprises: (a) an air supply for generating an air flow; (b) a container accommodating pollen grains and maintaining the pollen grains in fluidized condition; (c) a high voltage power supply; (d) at least two electrostatic pollinators for directing the pollen grains carried air flow in a direction of cultivated trees or shrubs; the at least two electrostatic pollinators being in fluid connection with the container; (e) a feeder interconnecting the container and the at least electrostatic pollinator; the feeder configured for feeding the pollen grains in a fluidized condition from the container into the at least one electrostatic pollinator; the feeder comprises a doser configured for dispensing a predetermined amounts of the pollen grains in fluidized condition; (f) a distributer configured for segmenting and distributing the pollen grains in a fluidized condition to at least two the electrostatic pollinators.

Abstract: A hull for an armored vehicle is provided, comprising a set of panels constituting portions of the hull, and having a passenger cabin with an interior defined by at least some of the panels. The panels are attached to one another via a plurality of bolts. The hull comprises one or more preventing arrangements for preventing the bolts from reaching the interior of the passenger cabin in an event that they become secondary projectiles.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a reinforced cabin for a vehicle adapted to protect the interior of the cabin against a threat of a certain maximal force. The vehicle cabin is defined by at least a vehicle belly and side walls extending upwardly therefrom. The cabin comprises a vehicle floor extending between the side walls and spaced a distance L1 from the vehicle belly; at least one passenger seat comprising a seat portion parallel to the floor, and positioned such that there extends a space of a distance L2 between the seat portion and the vehicle floor; and at least one resistance member having a proximal end fixedly attached to the belly and a distal end adjacent the vehicle floor, and located at least partially underneath the seat portion. The belly is adapted to undergo upward deformation under the certain maximal force towards the floor of a distance L3.

Abstract: An add-on armor adapted for protecting a belly of a vehicle, the add-on armor comprising a base plate and a plurality of energy absorbing modules fitted to the base plate. The arrangement is such that at least a majority of a surface of each energy absorbing module facing the base plate overlaps with the base plate at an area thereof constituting a module zone. The module zones are associated with different modules being spaced from one another by vacancy zones.
