  • Patent number: 11724876
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method of autonomous Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) comprising a fully autonomous growing environment. More specifically, disclosed herein is an apparatus and method in which a plurality of frame assembly may be stored and manipulated within a track assembly that is configured within a rack through the motivational input a carriage-mounted manipulators. Each frame assembly is configured to be coupled to an adjacent frame assembly supported by the track assembly by at least one coupler disposed on a forward end and a rearward end of each frame assembly. With the frame assembly including a low friction bearing surface to orient within a track assembly, it may be configured to satisfy various utilities necessary within the farm, such as but not limited to the housing grow media for the cultivation or the housing of electromechanical systems.

  • Publication number: 20180032970
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method of filling out one or more forms by a mobile device. The mobile device detects signals from a beacon and determines proximity to the beacon. The mobile device then receives the forms from a remote server when the mobile device determines it is within a certain distance from the beacon. The mobile device then populates information in the forms and sends the forms to the remote server.

  • Patent number: 8874192
    Abstract: Evaluating tissue characteristics including identification of injured tissue or alteration of the ratios of native tissue components such as shifting the amounts of normal myocytes and fibrotic tissue in the heart, identifying increases in the amount of extracellular components or fluid (like edema or extracellular matrix proteins), or detecting infiltration of tumor cells or mediators of inflammation into the tissue of interest in a patient, such as a human being, is provided by obtaining a first image of tissue including a region of interest from a first acquisition, and obtaining a second image of the tissue including the region of interest during a second, subsequent acquisition. The subsequent acquisition may be obtained after a period of time to determine if injury has occurred during that period of time. Such a comparison may include comparison of mean, average characteristics, histogram shape, such as skew and kurtosis, or distribution of intensities within the histogram.

  • Publication number: 20130309428
    Abstract: A temporary lining usable as a decorative protective guard on stowage bins on aircraft, such as passenger stowage bins on commercial aircraft. The temporary lining can have a protective layer, and an adhesive layer bonded to the protective layer. The temporary liner can be adhered to the interior of the stowage bins, and can be removed and replaced when damaged.

  • Patent number: 7747308
    Abstract: Methods, systems and circuits predict cardiotoxicity induced cardiac injury prior to an irreversible state by electronically generating at least one histogram of mean intensities of voxels/pixels in an MRI image of a left ventricle myocardium and electronically determining a likelihood of cardiac injury due to cardiotoxicity based on data from the at least one histogram.
