Abstract: A system for harvesting insects from a habitat. The system configured to separate waste, live insects, and dead insects in a manner that the live insects may undergo a first processing procedure and the dead insects may undergo a second processing procedures. For example, the first processing procedure may include processing the insects for human consumption and the second processing procedure may include processing the dead insects for minerals or materials.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for food storage inventory management are described herein. For example, a management system of a food storage area management system may detect, via a camera of a device, an item entering the food storage area. One or more cameras of the device may, in some examples, capture an image associated with the item entering the food storage area. In response to capturing the image, the management system may identify the item. In some cases, the management system may then display, via a projector of the device and on a surface of the food storage area, a notification associated with the item.

Abstract: In some examples, a system may be configured to generating flour having a uniform particle size of less than 100 Microns from whole insects. For example, the may include generating a slurry from whole insects by adding water while blending the whole insects using one or more mixers to generate an insect slurry. In some cases, the water is added to the insect parts to reduce the viscosity and to assist in separating the whole insects into parts. In some cases, the insect slurry may be filtered.

Abstract: An optical phase shifter is described, which includes an optical waveguide which is realized in a substrate and has an optical conduction surface within the substrate, the optical conduction surface including at least a first region having a first doping and at least two second regions having a second doping that differs from the first doping. The first region is situated between the two second regions.

Abstract: An autonomous feed delivery platform configured to navigate through a facility and deliver insect feed to multiple insect habitats located within the facility. In some cases, the feed delivery platform may be configured to deliver the feed to multiple insect habitats at substantially the same time.

Abstract: A water delivery system for supplying water to an insect habitat. The water delivery system including a water tray equipped with a sensor to monitor an amount of water within a water tray. The sensor to cause water to be delivered to the water tray when the amount of water within the tray falls below a predefined threshold amount.

Abstract: The present invention provides a network node and corresponding methods for implementing a Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism in an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The network node comprises a swapping table comprising swapping records. Each swapping record lists an incoming network path and an associated QoS Class, an outgoing network path associated with the incoming network path. Each swapping records also lists a second QoS Class and an output port of the network node associated with the outgoing network path. The network node also comprises a communication module capable of receiving packet flows on one of the incoming network paths and directing the packets from the packet flows into packet queues each having an associated QoS classification corresponding to the QoS Class of the outgoing network path associated with the incoming network path on which the packets have been received, and as listed in the swapping table.
