Publication number: 20220330505Abstract: Growing systems may include a number of modular growing chambers adapted to be configured in a stacked arrangement with each growing chamber surrounding a corresponding portion of the plant. The grow chambers may be selectively added or removed during plant growth, such that different sections of the growing plant may be influenced differently using aeroponic, hydroponic or other growing techniques. The grow chamber stack may be portable and provided with integrated or independent lifting devices to assist an operator in adding or removing chambers from the stack. Three growing processes may be facilitated using such systems. These include a process for producing assorted product from a single plant for simultaneous harvest, a process for producing an extended harvest of a desired size product from a single plant, and a process for extending the productive life of a plant and provide for multiple, continued, and perpetual harvest.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Timothy E. Joseph, Zachary E.K. Rubenson, Bryan M. Dripps, Joseph L. Capoccia, Alex A. Thomsen

Patent number: 10959382Abstract: Growing systems may include a number of modular growing chambers with integrated support columns that eliminate the need for an external support frame and which provide a simple way to remove chambers from a stack for harvesting. The chambers can be assembled around a growing plant. Pins provided on the support columns ensure alignment and provide for easy removal of a lower chamber by first supporting the stack and slightly lowering it relative to the stack. The chamber structure supports harvesting processes that permit harvesting of a chamber simply by shifting it relative to the stack and supporting the other chambers in a vertical position and shifting the chambers. A portable shifting device may provide automated support, shifting and removal of one or more chambers for harvesting.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Inventor: Timothy E. Joseph

Publication number: 20200178477Abstract: Growing systems may include a number of modular growing chambers with integrated support columns that eliminate the need for an external support frame and which provide a simple way to remove chambers from a stack for harvesting. Pins provided on the support columns ensure alignment and provide for easy removal of a lower chamber by first supporting the stack and slightly lowering it relative to the stack. The chambers may be provided with one or more removable access panels that provide access to the interior of the chambers for harvesting from the plant section inside. The chamber structure supports harvesting processes that permit harvesting of chambers in sequence by sequentially accessing the interior of successive chambers and harvesting a production portion from the plant section inside. Plant production can be made continuous and perpetual by sequentially harvesting from successive chambers and repeating the process after a plant section in a first chamber has regenerated another production portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventor: Timothy E.

Patent number: 4893580Abstract: A resonant tube having an inlet fitting at one end for connection to the regulator hose attached to an intermediate pressure port on the first stage of a scuba diver's regulator and containing therein a sound generator responsive to pressurized air for generating an audible sound to be propogated against the wall of such tube. The outlet from such tube includes a normally closed air valve which may be selectively depressed to release air from such resonator tube causing incoming air to flow through such generator to generate such audible sound. Frequencies generated are propogated to the surrounding water or air.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1989Date of Patent: January 16, 1990Inventors: Alan W. Joseph, Jr., Timothy E. Joseph
