Abstract: An indoor growing facility includes an enclosed structure defined by one or more first walls and a growing shell defining a grow zone positioned in the enclosed structure. The growing shell defined by one or more second walls. The indoor growing facility also includes at least one environmental control component positioned inside the enclosed structure and outside the growing shell.

Abstract: A ventilation system may include at least one air handler configured to supply an air flow to an enclosed grow zone and at least one heat pump coupled the at least one air handler and to at least one dry cooler. The at least one heat pump is operable in a first mode of operation in which a heat exchange fluid is cooled by the dry cooler and used to cool the air flow to remove moisture before the air handler supplies the air flow to the enclosed grow zone.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an expandable medical implant for the repair of cranium defects in adolescent patients. The implants of the present disclosure can include a plurality of interconnected links that are movable with respect to each other as the underlying cranium grows and expands.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a method for transmitting data by inductive coupling can include applying, at a rate of a data-carrying signal, a plurality of bursts of a periodic signal to a tuned inductive antenna circuit. The method can also include producing, in the tuned inductive antenna circuit, an antenna signal. The antenna signal can generate a magnetic field. The method can further include delimiting an amplitude of each burst of the plurality of bursts of the periodic signal in accordance with an envelope signal having a rising edge and a falling edge. The delimiting the amplitude of each burst of the plurality of bursts of the periodic signal can include generating the plurality of bursts of the periodic signal using a set of points. The set of points can define, by discrete values, a burst of the plurality of bursts of the periodic signal.

Abstract: A mandibular bone plate (10) can include a body (40) that defines a bone facing surface (44), an outer surface (48) that is opposite the bone facing surface, and a plurality of bone anchor holes (52) that extend through the body from the bone facing surface to the outer surface. The body can include a chin portion (56) and first (60) and second (64) extension portions that extend from the chin portion such that the bone facing surface of the chin portion faces the inferior surface of the mandible when the mandibular bone plate is attached to the mandible and the bone facing surfaces of the first and second extension portions at least partially face the lingual surface of the mandible when the mandibular bone plate is attached to the mandible.

Abstract: Expandable fixation assemblies, expandable cranial fixation assemblies, and expandable intervertebral implant assemblies are provided for securing structures to bone and for securing bones and/or bone segments with respect to each other. An expansion member can be moved through at least a portion of an expandable fixation body, thereby causing expansion of the expandable fixation body, such that bone engagement features of the expandable fixation body engage surrounding structure, such as bone.
