Abstract: The present invention relates to a gelatinous moisturing substrate for controllably delivering water and oxygen to the root zone of growing plants with micro nutrients, auxins, preservatives and surfactants added comprising a mixture, by percent weight, 97.6%, 2.0% carboxy methol cellulose, 0.15% aluminum sulfate, 0.04% sodium benzoate, 0.04% potassium sorbate, 0.0167% zinc sulfate (22.23% zinc), 0.07% acetic acid (99%.0 pure) and 0.005% sodium sesquicarbonate. The composition maintains substrates viscosity. As a result, the moisturing agent releases water, oxygen and the added nutrients, preservatives and surfactant into the root zone of the growing plant at a controlled rate.

Abstract: In an implementation of a configurable H-bridge circuit, a high switch is connected to a voltage source and a low switch is connected to ground. The configurable H-bridge circuit includes a first configuration as a motor drive circuit in which the high switch and the low switch are connected together and coupled to drive a motor. The configurable H-bridge circuit also includes a second configuration in which the high switch and the low switch are each configured as a discrete switch that can be coupled as a component switch.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for instruction architecture. One embodiment includes a first integrated circuit (IC). The first IC includes at least two instruction stacks and an arbiter coupled to the at least two instruction stacks. A second IC is provided. The first and the second ICs are coupled using a serial interface.

Abstract: In a printer, a paper positioning system is used to control feeding a printing medium, such as paper, through the printer. An optical encoder is used to generate analog current waveforms as the paper is fed through the printer. An integrated adjustable current to voltage converter and digital quadrature generator are used to convert waveforms received from the optical encoder into a digital form and then selectively converted to digital form for use by the paper positioning system.

Abstract: A multi-sided collapsible container is provided in combination with a pallet. The container preferably has an octagonal shape. The upright portion of the container is formed from a plurality of side panels, end panels, and corner panels. A bottom to the container is formed from a combination of bottom flaps and floor panels. Floor panels are affixed to the pallet for securing the container thereto. A plurality of transverse fold lines in combination with a plurality of lateral fold lines enable the container to move between an open upright use position and a plurality of collapsed storage positions contained within the confines of the pallet.

Abstract: A collapsible corrugated fiberboard container to be fastened to a pallet. The container has a floor panel, two opposite side panels and two opposite end panels. The side panels and end panels are flexibly connected to each other, and the floor panel is connected to the bottom edges of the side panels. The floor panel is divided by a first score line into two central floor portions of equal length as measured transversely of the first score line and one of which is fixed to the pallet, and by a second floor score line common to the fixed central floor portion and forming an outer floor portion. The end panels are provided with vertical score lines. The bottom flaps are each connected to the bottom edge of the end panels and are also provided with score lines. The first floor score line is arranged approximately mid-way of the pallet.
