Abstract: The disclosure is in part directed to crystalline forms of N-(4-(4-amino-5-(3-fluoro-4-((4-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)oxy)phenyl)-7-methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)phenyl)methacrylamide, its salts, its cocrystals, and variants thereof.

Abstract: One variation of a method for automating transfer of plants within an agricultural facility includes: dispatching a loader to autonomously deliver a first module—defining a first array of plant slots at a first density and loaded with a first set of plants at a first growth stage—from a first grow location within an agricultural facility to a transfer station within the agricultural facility; dispatching the loader to autonomously deliver a second module—defining a second array of plant slots at a second density less than the first density and empty of plants—to the transfer station; recording a module-level optical scan of the first module; extracting a viability parameter of the first set of plants from features detected in the module-level optical scan; and if the viability parameter falls outside of a target viability range, rejecting transfer of the first set of plants from the first module.

Abstract: A vertically-oriented module for growing plants is disclosed where the module comprises: a base comprising a housing for one or more auxiliary systems that support the module; a silo positioned on top of the base, the silo comprising a central core; an outer frame surrounding the central core, the outer frame defining a plurality of columns arranged radially around the central core, wherein each column is configured to receive one or more removable panels of plants; and a plurality of lighting units coupled to and arranged radially around the central core such that each lighting unit projects light away from the central core towards a corresponding column in the outer frame

Abstract: A propagation system for growing seeds to seedlings, the propagation system comprising: a holding tank configured to be coupled to a water supply; a first plurality of rack docks and a second plurality of rack docks; a central wall disposed between and separating the first plurality of rack docks from the second plurality of rack docks, the central wall comprising water supply infrastructure configured to deliver nutriated water from the holding tank to the first and second plurality of rack docks and water return infrastructure configured to return nutriated water from the first and second plurality of rack docks to the holding tank; one or more pumps operatively coupled to pump nutriated water through the water supply infrastructure and through the water return infrastructure; wherein each rack dock in the first plurality of rack docks and each rack dock in the second plurality of rack docks defines a set of propagation tray locations, each propagation tray location in each set of propagation tray locations

Abstract: A dosing station comprises a receiving area for receiving a module and a sampling system for acquiring water from the module, analyzing the water and determining a refill recipe based on one or more parameters of the water. The dosing station includes a nutrient dispenser arranged to dispense at least one nutrient into the module according to the refill recipe. The recipe can be based on the type of plants in the module, the age of the plant and/or the physical condition of the plants. The dosing station can change refill recipes for each module within an agricultural facility based on one or more parameters to optimize the nutrient supply for all plants within the agricultural facility.

Abstract: A device for electrochemically machining a workpiece (10), the device comprising: (i) an elongate device body having a first end (3) and a second end (4) and an electrically insulating sidewall (8) with one or more electrolyte delivery apertures defined in the elongate device body; (ii) an electrode (7) within the device body; (iii) an electrolyte supply arrangement that confines electrolyte within the device body so that the electrolyte can only be delivered through the aperture(s) for electrochemically machining the workpiece (10). Also described is a method for electrochemically machining the workpiece.

Abstract: A roller transport assembly includes a cart assembly and a roller carriage assembly. The roller carriage assembly is slidably mounted to the cart assembly and has at least one chamber for housing a roller. Each of the chambers includes a linear rail extending along a first axis and a roller coupling device attached to and slidable along the linear rail. The roller coupling device is operable to couple to the roller and move the roller along the first axis adjacent and parallel with the linear rail.
