Publication number: 20240010383Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: AeroFarms, Inc.Inventors: Mark Ira Rosen, Nicholas Philip Robert Barclay, Justin Robert Zabilansky, John James Tarter

Publication number: 20230349743Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: MICRO MOTION, INC.Inventors: Aart R.

Patent number: 11486752Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: MICRO MOTION, INC.Inventors: Andrew Timothy Patten, Robert Barclay Garnett
