  • Publication number: 20240010383
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to tray modules and tray assemblies made from interconnected tray modules. The modular tray assemblies can be used in indoor farming with a soilless growth medium to germinate seeds, develop plants from the germinated seeds, and harvest the developed plants. The tray modules making up a tray assembly are interchangeable and can be made from the same mold design. This can reduce production costs for making tray modules and can reduce the inventory of replacement parts needed to repair tray assemblies.

  • Patent number: 11697174
    Abstract: A method of diffusion bonding metal or metal alloy containing workpieces, comprises (a) coating the bonding surfaces of the metal or metal alloy containing workpieces with a layer of a coating material, (b) abrading the coated bonding surfaces to remove surface oxide, the coating material being in liquid form, (c) removing excess coating material or excess abraded metal or metal alloy containing workpiece material from the coated bonding surfaces, and (d) diffusion bonding the coated bonding surfaces of the metal or metal alloy containing workpieces together. The coating material is operable to form a stable barrier on the bonding surfaces of the metal or metal alloy containing workpieces under ambient conditions, and evaporates from the bonding surfaces under diffusion bonding conditions. There is also a bonded workpiece formed using the method of diffusion bonding metal or metal alloy containing workpieces.

  • Patent number: 10670068
    Abstract: A frangible fastener system configured to secure a second retained member to a first retained member until the frangible fastener system receives a breaking force is described. The frangible fastener system comprises a first fastener and a second fastener. The first fastener comprises a flange configured to cause retention of the first retained member toward a base member. The first fastener is configured to engage the base member and to receive the second fastener along a first axis of the frangible faster system. The second fastener comprises a frangible portion configured to separate responsive to receiving the breaking force, and a head portion connected to the frangible portion. The head portion is configured to cause retention of the second retained member toward the first retained member until the frangible portion separates responsive to receiving the breaking force.

  • Patent number: 10481291
    Abstract: An imager and method for imaging fluid of a subsurface formation is disclosed. The imager includes a housing having a sidewall defining a passage to receive a core sample of the subsurface formation therethrough. The housing is positioned in a downhole tool and has a fluid inlet to receive fluid from the subsurface formation into the passage. The imager also includes a permanent magnet positioned in the sidewall of the housing, a radio frequency coil positioned in the sidewall of the housing between the permanent magnet and the passage, a gradient field in the sidewall of the housing between the permanent magnet and the radio frequency coil, and a chemically-selective imager. The chemically-selective imager is operatively connected to the radio frequency coil to selectively pulse frequencies according to a pulse sequence whereby individual fluid measurements of the sample are generated.
