Abstract: An imaging optical system including three mirrors has a configuration adapted to block stray rays which could otherwise reach an image sensor of the system, while permitting large fields, high apertures, and good system compactness. The system may also incorporate two entrance baffles which are arranged one on either side of an optical entrance of the system. Functions of the two entrance baffles may be limited to intercepting rays originating from fields which are angularly distant from the entrance field useful to each captured image. The two entrance baffles can thus have reduced lengths upstream, so that the system has a small size.

Abstract: A production plan for producing cannabis in a facility comprising a building module comprising five growth chambers of substantially equal size and a GMP processing area comprises a system of concurrent cyclic processes (SCCPs) for carrying out cannabis processing steps of hardening; growth, wet hanging, in-process quality control, transfer to GMP drying; in-process quality control; trimming; curing, and grading/packing. The SCCPs is based upon a minimum cycle time (MCT) defined as MCT=FP/5, where FP is a flowering period for a selected cannabis species, and 5 is the number of growth chambers in which the cannabis species will be grown. A cannabis production facility comprises a building module having five growth chambers of substantially equal size, a GMP processing area and a production plan. A method is provided for designing a cannabis production facility for assessing the feasibility thereof at a concept stage.
