Abstract: An LED growth light and method for providing light to plants incorporating a reflector housing, LED driver, and dimmable rows of LED chips on the LED growth light. The reflector housings couple to a wiring compartment that includes wiring coupled to each row of LED chips on each reflector housing. The LED driver is coupled to an exterior groove in between two adjacent reflector housings.

Abstract: An LED growth light and method for providing light to plants incorporating an LED arrangement, a growth light housing, and a power source. The LED arrangement includes LEDs arranged in individually powered columns to provide relatively uniform disbursement of the light to the plants. The housing includes an accessory rail to attach a variety of optional accessories and internal cooling fins to cool the housing to prevent damage to the power supply and/or to prevent overheating the plants. In addition, the housing includes a fan and end caps which permit the movement of air for the displacement of heat and reduce the intake of moisture or debris into the interior of the LED growth light.

Abstract: A fan-on Fault Detection Diagnostic (FDD) and correction method comprising at least one method selected from the group consisting of: detecting a Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning (HVAC) fan is controlled by a fan-on duration setting or a continuous or intermittent fan-on duration setting or schedule, and performing at least one action selected from the group consisting of: providing at least one fan-on alarm message, overriding the fan-on duration setting or the fan-on duration schedule, and turning off the HVAC fan for a fraction of the fan-on duration setting or schedule. Turning off the HVAC fan is based on at least one method selected from the group consisting of: a variable duration, skipping a scheduled fan-on duration setting, based on a call for cooling/heating, based on a geofencing or occupancy sensor signal, and based on a user-selected fan-on duration setting or a user-selected fan-off duration schedule.

Abstract: A Heating, Ventilating Air Conditioning (HVAC) fan control method comprising: detecting a HVAC fan is controlled by a fan-on setting, determining a HVAC fan-on operating time (F6) is greater than a Threshold Fan-on Time (TFT); and performing at least one action selected from the group consisting of: providing a HVAC fan-on alarm message, overriding the fan-on setting, and turning off the HVAC fan. The method may also include turning off an ultraviolet lamp after the HVAC fan is turned off, and turning on the ultraviolet lamp after the HVAC fan is turned on. Turning off the HVAC fan comprises: turning off the HVAC fan for a variable duration, skipping a scheduled fan-on setting, turning off the HVAC fan based on a call for cooling/heating, turning off the HVAC fan based on an indoor air quality measurement, and turning off the HVAC fan based on a geofencing or occupancy sensor signal.

Abstract: A method for atom probe tomography (APT) sample preparation from a three-dimensional (3D) field effect transistor device formed within a semiconductor structure is provided. The method may include measuring a capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristic for the 3D field effect transistor device and identifying, based on the measured capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristic, a Fin structure corresponding to the 3D field effect transistor device. The identified Fin structure is detached from the 3D field effect transistor device using a nanomanipulator probe tip. The detached Fin is then welded to the nanomanipulator probe tip using an incident focused ion beam having a voltage of less than about 1000 eV. The incident focused ion beam having a voltage of less than about 1000 eV is applied to a tip of the Fin that is welded to the nanomanipulator probe tip.

Abstract: A high-speed processor capable of processing any user-selected one of several symbolic languages is disclosed. The processor includes a programmable instruction decoder and a store for a ram-variable instruction set. Fixed bit length tags precede and identify the type of data associated with each tag. Large groups of bits in one or more tags are decoded simultaneously to access a programmable microsequencer and a microprogram memory.

Abstract: A system for electronically storing revisions or modifications to documents which are already electronically stored in unrevised or unmodified form. The system compares, at the pixel-by-pixel level, a modified document bit map with a stored document bit map and determines from the differences between the two bit maps, at the pixel-by-pixel level, which differences are significant and which are insignificant. A revised document bit map is then formed from the portions of the stored-document bit map exhibiting no significant bit map differences and the significant differences bit map. The result is a revised document bit map in which no unnecessary changes have been introduced into the initial stored-document bit map. The system also includes steps for defining, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, a significant region bit map from the significant difference bit map and for forming the revised document bit map using the significant region bit map.

Abstract: A high-speed penetrating metallic jet is produced using a projectile accelerated by a compressed gas or chemical propellant charge as the source of momentum and energy. The propellant charge and projectile are positioned within a tubular bore such as a gun barrel upstream from a discharge end. A metallic disc is releasably maintained in transverse relation within the bore between the projectile and discharge end. The projectile has a concave contoured impact plate of high density operative to strike the metallic disc upon ignition of the propellant so as to accelerate the disc outwardly from the discharge end while simultaneously causing the disc to collapse radially inwardly toward the barrel axis and create an elongated metallic jet. The invention finds particular application in the penetration of geological strata, concrete, steel, water and many other materials used in fabrication and construction whenever penetrations or perforations are desired.

Abstract: A dispenser safety attachment for liquid additives and particularly for periodically dispensing increments of liquid additive which are corrosive, carcinogenic or otherwise possess qualities which suggest that contact therewith be avoided. The device is characterized by the provision of a receptacle adapted to be secured to a tank or like receiver or conduit for materials to be treated and a container adapted to be mounted in the receptacle, the container including a valve mechanism, known per se, and subject to opening and closing by relative rotation of the container and a spout. The receptacle and container interact in such manner that increments of the liquid in the container may be dispensed by relatively rotating the container and receptacle which has been mounted on the tank by torsional forces applied to the container.
