Abstract: Apparatus and processes to grow a biomaterial made of aerial mycelium by sensing and controlling airborne mist concentration, regardless of relative humidity. A growth matrix comprising a growth medium and a fungus, is grown under controlled environmental conditions to produce a mycelium product. To control growth conditions precisely and efficiently, airborne mist is electronically detected using one or more sensors, configured to measure airborne mist concentration visually, optically, chemically, electromagnetically, or by laser, ultrasonically, with radar, or other means. Electronic detection of airborne mist using one or more sensors generates a signal that is transmitted to a processor that can either maintain, increase, or decrease airborne mist concentration in a growth environment. The present invention provides processes of growing mycelium that are repeatable and resource efficient, while providing high quality and quantity mycelium-based products.

Abstract: Systems and methods for network service path analysis analyze and manage the delivery of applications over a network. A program running on a computer utilizes a Layer 3 topology of a computer network to create a directed graph representing deliverability of packets across the network. By analyzing access control lists and firewall rule sets from the network, along with modeling routing protocol behavior and policy as packet filters, the program performs a series of matrix multiplications, using an optimized decomposition of the IP packet space. The resulting matrix contains all of the path information for all deliverable packets. The matrix populates a network path database that captures the set of packets deliverable between any pair of Internet Protocol addresses in the network.
