Abstract: A humidity-adjusted power supply includes a power supply circuit (e.g., relatively higher-voltage circuit) connected to a printed circuit board. The power supply circuit is adapted to provide output voltage to a voltage load. The humidity-adjusted power supply also includes a humidity control circuit (e.g., relatively lower-voltage circuit) connected to the printed circuit board adjacent the power supply circuit. The humidity control circuit outputs a heater control signal to a heater that is also connected to the printed circuit board. The heater is in a location to receive the heater control signal from the humidity control circuit. The power supply circuit and the humidity control circuit are positioned, relative to each other, on the printed circuit board to experience the same environmental conditions.

Abstract: A sensor can sense time-varying ambient light that is present in a scene to produce an ambient light signal. A processor can determine an ambient light frequency and an ambient light phase of the ambient light signal. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of an LED array can be electrically powered with pulse-width modulation (PWM) electrical signals having a same amplitude to produce illumination. Each LED can illuminate a respective region of the scene. Each PWM electrical signal can have a respective duty cycle that corresponds to a specified illumination intensity in a respective region of the scene. The PWM electrical signals can have a same PWM frequency that is an integral multiple of the ambient light frequency. Each PWM electrical signal can have a respective PWM phase that is synchronized to the ambient light phase. A lens can direct the illumination toward the scene to illuminate the scene.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Echeveria plant named ‘OVPEARLS10’ which is characterized by a flattened globular profile with foliage arranged in a compact basal rosette, moderately to strongly glaucous foliage that is covered with a layer of greyed-green epicuticular wax which gives the foliage a pale blue-grey appearance, juvenile foliage with a greyed-red laminar tip, and mature foliage with a purple to greyed-purple apical margins and laminar tip. The new variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Echeveria plant named ‘OVPEARLS09’ which is characterized by a flattened profile with foliage that is loosely held in a basal rosette, narrowly obovate to broad spathulate foliage with a conspicuous globular growth on the abaxial surface, glaucous foliage that is covered with a layer of greyed-green epicuticular wax which gives the foliage a pale greyed-green appearance, juvenile foliage that is lightly suffused with greyed-purple along the distal portion of the margins and apex, and lightly undulated foliar margins. The new variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Echeveria plant named ‘OVPEARLS13’ which is characterized by a small basal rosette of loosely held, broadly obovate foliage with a relaxed attitude, lightly to moderately glaucous juvenile foliage that is somewhat glossy, moderately glaucous mature foliage with a matte luster, and foliage that is covered with a layer of greyed-green epicuticular wax which gives the foliage a greyed-green appearance.
