  • Patent number: 10292339
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a terrarium of the closed type which includes a base for holding a plant (typically tropical plant varieties such as moss) and any excess moisture, and a removable lid which together with the base forms an enclosure around the plant and creates a humid and sheltered environment. The terrarium may include a removable lid which has an internal upper surface that is shaped to direct condensate forming on the upper surface of the lid to a particular area of the plant. The terrarium may include a base and lid having overlapping portions wherein the overlapping portions include edge deviations or apertures that may be brought into co-alignment to provide for no, partial or full aeration.

  • Patent number: 9091150
    Abstract: A method according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure includes moving a piston of a displacement unit to pump a fluid through first and second flowlines hydraulically connected to the displacement unit through a valve network. The method also includes monitoring flowing pressure in the first flowline and monitoring pressure in a first chamber of the displacement unit. The method further includes opening a first active valve of the valve network in response to the monitored pressure in the first chamber being about equal to or less than the monitored flowing pressure in the first flowline.
