  • Patent number: 11727522
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230000027
    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.

  • Patent number: 10051875
    Abstract: A beverage container that includes a main body portion having an open top, a closed bottom and an interior that defines a first volume, and a removable cover that includes a bottom and a generally cylindrical side wall extending upwardly from the bottom. The bottom and the generally cylindrical side wall cooperate to define a cover cavity, the removable cover is removably engaged with the main body portion, and the bottom includes a plug opening defined therethrough. A breathable plug is received in the plug opening. The plug allows a liquid disposed within the first volume to breathe with respect to an exterior of the beverage container.

  • Patent number: 9598211
    Abstract: A beverage container that includes a main body portion having an open top and a closed bottom, an interior, a circular rim and a first set of threads on an inside surface thereof that are positioned adjacent the rim at a first height. The rim includes a downwardly depending portion that extends below the first set of threads. The container also includes a removable cover with a bottom, a generally cylindrical side wall, an annular flange extending outwardly from the generally cylindrical side wall and an annular collar. The collar, the annular flange and the side wall define a first channel that receives the rim, and the bottom and the generally cylindrical side wall cooperate to define a cover cavity. The side wall includes a second set of threads on an outside surface thereof that are matingly engaged with the first set of threads.

  • Patent number: 8939311
    Abstract: A beverage container that includes a cylindrical main body portion having an open top and a closed bottom and that defines an interior. The bottom includes a contact surface and a continuous concave non-contact portion extending therebetween. The cylindrical main body portion defines a first volume. The container also includes a removable cover positioned at a location between the bottom and the top, and a recess defined between the removable cover and the open top. The recess defines a second volume that is between about 5% and about 50% of the first volume.

  • Publication number: 20140356738
    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.
