  • Patent number: 12349666
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for use in large-scale industrial insect farming. More in particular, the invention relates to an insects transport device for transporting live insects from a first location to a predetermined second location, the insects transport device comprising a gas guiding unit, a gas discharge member and a feeder arrangement, wherein the insects transport device is configured to receive live insects such as freshly hatched neonate larvae, for example of black soldier fly, or mites, wherein the live insects are directly taken up in a laminar flow of gas after exiting the feeder arrangement in a free fall under influence of gravitation such that the live insects do not contact any surface of the insects transport device, and while in said gas are transported to a predetermined location in the insects transport device. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the device in industrial insect farming, such as large-scale farming of black soldier flies or mites.

  • Patent number: 12351955
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a stimulus-responsive mesh made from hydrogel fibers that provide varying degrees of ventilation depending on environmental conditions. The hydrogel fibers may be arranged into a mesh with openings that change size depending on the degree of swelling of the hydrogel fibers. As the hydrogel fibers of the mesh change (e.g., from a contracted state to/from a swollen state), fluids may flow through the mesh at a variable flow rate that depends on the degree of swelling. The swelling of the hydrogel fibers may be responsive to changes in the ambient environment experienced by the mesh, including, for example, the moisture level at the mesh, the temperature level of the mesh, the chemical composition of the moisture incident the mesh, the presence of magnetic/electric fields near the mesh, and/or the light level at the mesh.

  • Patent number: 12356332
    Abstract: Method and system for reducing greenhouse gas emissions of a terrestrial wireless telecommunications network are disclosed. The system monitors a current energy consumption metric of the terrestrial network, predicts an energy consumption metric of the terrestrial network in a future time period based on at least one triggering event, and determines an available capacity metric of a non-terrestrial network in the future time period. When the energy consumption metric of the terrestrial network is greater than a first threshold and the available capacity metric of the non-terrestrial network is greater than a second threshold, the system causes the terrestrial network to enter an energy conservation mode of operation by transferring a first call or a first data session from a RAN cell of the terrestrial network to the non-terrestrial network and further causes the RAN cell to enter a low power mode of operation.
