Abstract: An apparatus and method for optimizing crop production efficiency. The method includes collecting growth information of each farm, acquiring at least one supply resource variable by comparing the collected growth information with a preset reference model, training influence of the at least one supply resource variable on production efficiency, and building an analysis model which shows production efficiency according to the at least one supply resource variable as a result of the training. Accordingly, production efficiency can be optimized by reflecting local characteristics of each farm on the reference model.

Abstract: An input apparatus, a display apparatus, and control methods thereof are disclosed. The input apparatus for the display apparatus includes a user input device configured to receive a user's input; communication circuitry configured to communicate with the display apparatus; a driver configured to provide a driving force to drive the input apparatus to move; and at least one processor configured to control the driver to move the input apparatus to a preset location corresponding to a user's location in response to a preset event so that a user can take and use the input apparatus. Thus, a movable input apparatus comes to a user by itself and provides user-friendly interaction, thereby improving a user's convenience.

Abstract: Dry, directly compressed tablets are provided by a blend of from 60 to 90 weight percent of acetaminophen and from 10 to 40 weight percent of non-ionizable lipid having a melting point of from 55.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. The preferred lipid is hydrogenated cotton seed oil. The tablets are characterized by a hardness of at least 5 kgs. When produced by a conventional tabletting machine using a pressure of 1.5 to 20 tons per square inch.

Abstract: The selection of: a hydrophobic carbohydrate polymer, e.g. ethyl cellulose; and, generally at least one digestive-difficulty soluble component, i.e. a wax, e.g. carnauba wax, fatty acid material or neutral lipid provides upon dry direct compression a controlled and continuous release matrix for tablets or implants of biologically active agents. Preferred for producing dry direct compressed products is the combination of: a hydrophobic cellulose derivative; a wax, and, a fatty acid material and/or a neutral lipid since it provides upon dry direct compression a controlled and continuous release tablet or implant of improved structurally integrity against externally imposed forces.

Abstract: There are provided solid herbicidal compositions comprising a molecular solution of a liquid, non-ionic surfactant, a 1,2-dimethyl-3,5-diphenylpyrazolium salt and urea in one another. There is also provided a method for preparing said compositions which comprises the steps of melting together the components of the composition at elevated temperatures and then cooling said melt.

Abstract: There are provided solid herbicidal compositions comprising a molecular dispersion of a liquid non-ionic surfactant in herbicidal 1,2-dimethyl-3,5-diphenylpyrazolium salts, and wherein said compositions may optionally contain inert water-soluble bulking/absorbing agents. There is also provided a method for preparing said compositions by: (a) admixing same at room temperature and then melting said mixture at elevated temperatures; or (b) melting together all components of said compositions at elevated temperatures; and then following either of the above procedures, rapidly cooling said melt to obtain the aforementioned compositions.
