Abstract: A face plate for use with a frame of a hydroponic system and a plurality of pod holders each operable to house a growth media to grow one or more plants. The face plate comprising a first edge portion, a second edge portion, and a central portion. The first and second edge portions are slidably engagable with the frame. The face plate is slidable along the frame when the first and second edge portions are slidably engaged with the frame. The central portion extends between the first and second edge portions and includes a plurality of through-holes to receive the plurality of pod holders. The plurality of pod holders are removable from the plurality of through-holes.

Abstract: A gripping tool mountable on a robotic arm. The gripping tool includes one or more suction cups and a plurality of clamps. The one or more suction cups are oriented to adhere to a surface. The plurality of clamps are oriented to clamp onto opposite edges of the surface.

Abstract: A tower assembly for use with an overhead conveyor of a hydroponic vertical farm system. The tower assembly includes a tower frame, a face plate, and a connector. The tower frame has a top portion opposite a bottom portion. The face plate is configured to be removably attached to the tower frame. When the face plate is attached to the tower frame, the face plate is configured to support at least one plant as the at least one plant grows. The connector is attached to the top portion of the tower frame. The connector is configured to be removably attached to the overhead conveyor.

Abstract: A system for providing content to client computing devices. The system is configured to receive an audio feed that includes audio segments. Each audio segment includes either regular audio content or preemptory audio content. The system may determine whether each audio segment includes regular or preemptory audio content. For each audio segment determined to include preemptory audio content, the system may direct the client computing devices to preempt, with the preemptory audio content, any current content being presented by the client computing devices. For each audio segment determined to include regular audio content, the system may identify the regular audio content, match multimedia video content with the identified regular audio content, and direct the matched multimedia video content to the client computing devices for presentation thereby to users.
