  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20230349743
    Abstract: A method (300), system (400), and electronics (20) for correcting a mass flow value in measured using a Coriolis flow meter (100) for temperature effects at a known fluid temperature temp below 0 C are provided. The method comprises receiving a known fluid density ?indic, receiving the fluid temperature temp, receiving a time period Tp, determining a Young's modulus temperature correction for density TFyD based on the known fluid density ?indic, the known fluid temperature temp, and the time period Tp, determining a Young's modulus temperature correction for mass flow TFyM based on a temperature correction constant k and Young's modulus temperature correction for density TFyD, and correcting the mass flow value {dot over (m)} using the Young's modulus temperature correction for mass flow TFyM.

  • Patent number: 11486752
    Abstract: A method for determining a mass flow measurement is provided. The method comprises calibrating a flowmeter sensor at a first temperature and flowing a fluid having a second temperature through the flowmeter sensor. A density of the fluid is input into meter electronics. A compensated mass flow value of the fluid is determined by meter electronics, wherein the Modulus of Elasticity of the flowmeter sensor is unknown.

  • Publication number: 20210161960
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a cell suspension of autologous or allogeneic, preferably autologous, adult bone marrow-derived white blood cells, preferably derived from the crest of the ilium (or iliac crest), enriched for mononuclear cells, meaning more than 25% of the white blood cells (WBCs) present in the cell suspension are mononuclear cells, and comprising: A. Mononuclear cells (MNC) selected from the list comprising or consisting of: i. A population of Lymphocytes; ii. A population of Monocytes; and iii. A population of Hematopoietic stem cells expressing CD34; and wherein the cell suspension further comprises: B. Granulocytes; for use in the treatment or amelioration of lower extremity peripheral artery disease.
