Abstract: An apparatus and method of separating microalgae from a liquid source material, wherein the apparatus and method permit the efficient achievement of a high concentration of microalgae in a final solid-containing fraction.

Abstract: A computer implemented service for identifying and classifying damage. The algorithm may be implemented on a device, such as a computer or mobile device, or on a remote server. The remote server may be a website or cloud-based platform. A user may access the service by sending a request to the remote server including an image, video, or live feed containing an item to be inspected. The service may identify and classify any damage found on the item. The output of the service may include the location of the damaged item, a determination of the presence of damage, a certainty level of this determination, and a heatmap indicating the areas of the image that are most likely to contain damage. The output of the service may be stored on a remote server or may be integrated into existing damage reporting systems.

Abstract: A method of preparing a flowering plant product in hypobarically- and hypoxically-controlled atmospheres is disclosed. The method includes providing a simulated high-altitude controlled atmosphere (SHACA) room having a chamber, a plant support structure disposed within the chamber, and a microclimate control system operable to establish and maintain within the chamber a simulated high-altitude environment having an oxygen (O2) partial pressure of less than 20 kRa and, optionally, an overall pressure of less than 97 kPa. The method also includes disposing a flowering plant on the plant support structure, and exposing the flowering plant to the simulated high-altitude environment within the chamber. A simulated high-altitude CA room for cultivating and processing flowering plants in a hypobaric and hypoxic atmosphere is also provided.

Abstract: A unique process for producing electricity from ammonia by utilizing its hydrogen content as a fuel source. The system may be referred to herein for descriptive purposes as Ammonia/Hydrogen/Electricity Production, or AHEP. The novelty of the system disclosed herein as compared to other hydrogen based fuel systems is the unique assembly of the components outlined below to create a novel process and ability to produce electricity that can be utilized for both mobile and stationary purposes. Further, the system is capable of producing hydrogen on demand to be converted into electricity, thereby obviating the need for storing large amounts of explosive hydrogen.
