Abstract: A system for automatic plant monitoring includes a camera for capturing images of a plant, within a view area, over time; creating an image collection over time. A processing unit receives the images from the camera and provides a collection of samplers, each sampler representing a location within the view area. Detecting the members of said plant. The processing unit applying sampling rules for detecting the members of said plant.

Abstract: A computer-controlled greenhouse system constructed in accordance with the invention above provides climate management and precision cultivation capability. It is equipped with solar energy filtering devices to precisely manage visible sunlight intake based on plants stages and adjust solar heat intake according to climate management needs; it uses geothermal energy for heating and cooling; it reclaims water from moisture released by plants with vapor condensing devices.

Abstract: A modular aeroponic grow system utilizing circulated reservoirs of temperature-regulated liquid nutrient solution to maintain temperature stability of plant roots within a grow system includes a control unit, one or more grow units, a liquid nutrient solution reservoir circulation conduit system, and a liquid nutrient solution mist delivery conduit system independent of, and isolated from, the reservoir circulation system, wherein air temperature stability with a grow unit interior chamber is maintained by regulating the temperature of liquid nutrient solution flowing through the mist delivery conduit system, and wherein the temperature of liquid nutrient solution flowing through the mist delivery conduit system is maintained by regulating the temperature of liquid nutrient solution flowing through the reservoir circulation conduit system.

Abstract: The invention is a method and a system that use a distributed reservoir sub-system to maintain root temperatures in a modularized aeroponics setup. The reservoirs integrate with root chambers. Thermo-insulation materials and active temperature control functions are used to maintain temperatures of the nutrient reservoirs. Liquids in the reservoirs are further used as a media to maintain root chamber temperature and to reduce the fluctuations caused by pressurized nutrient delivery.

Abstract: The invention is a temperature and blight insulated aeroponics root chamber built with opaque High-Density EPP (Expanded Polypropylene). The chamber is a fully or partially enclosed container to host plant roots, to provide thermal insulation and light blockage functions, and to control humidity, temperature, and liquid leakage inside of the growth environment. The chamber may be produced with molding process to create seamless body construction, or may consist of multiple components. There are outlets and inlets through the chamber enclosure for the flows of nutrients and wastes. The chamber may contain one or more optional nutrient reservoirs. The chamber may be in different shapes and colors. The chamber may work with one or more temperature control devices.

Abstract: The invention is a method and a system for storing and exchanging recipes for controllable plant growth systems via communication networks. A controllable plant growth system uses recipes as templates to deliver necessities such as light, nutrients, oxygen, or CO2 for plants to grow, and utilizes heaters and/or coolers to regulate the enclosed environment settings such as temperature and humidity. A recipe store is a remotely accessible digital repository for growth recipes, can be remotely accessed either via a direct communications network from system or through user management interface of the system as a intermediary component, and provides functions for storing, sorting and searching recipes via APIs or user interfaces.
