    Abstract: An apparatus and method for growing vegetation in a hot, arid, coastal location includes installing, at or below grade, a mat containing seeds, and/or seedlings, and a super absorbent polymer (SAP), the mat being cooperative with a thermally conductive network in thermal communication with an evaporative panel that is cooled by seawater evaporation, thereby drawing heat away from the mat. A seawater reservoir can collect seawater draining from the cooling panel. A pumping system can recirculate the collected seawater to the cooling panel, thereby converting the seawater into brine, which can be periodically transferred to a drying tray for production of salt. A perforated, transparent or translucent cover sheet can be placed on or suspended above the mat. A water barrier can be placed below the mat. The cooling panel can be incorporated into a wall of a cooling greenhouse that surrounds and contains the mat.

  • Publication number: 20250261583
    Abstract: A harvester implement includes a first motion sensor mounted on a traction unit at a location defining a traction unit elevation datum, and a second motion sensor mounted on an implement head at a location defining a head elevation datum. The implement head defines a head spacing between the head elevation datum and a ground contact surface of the implement head. An implement controller determines an offset distance between the traction unit elevation datum and the head elevation datum based on data from the first motion sensor related to movement of the traction unit and data from the second motion sensor related to movement of the implement head. The controller may then calculate a head height between the ground surface and the ground contact surface of the implement head by subtracting the offset distance and the head spacing from the traction unit elevation datum.

  • Publication number: 20250261614
    Abstract: A breakaway hoop is disclosed. The hoop has a top portion connected to two bottom portions by a hinged joint. The two bottom portions are connected at the nadir of the hoop in such a way that a force directed at the bottom portions can cause this connection to separate, allowing the paired bottom portions to rotate apart from each other. The disclosed hoop is useful as a dog agility course obstacle as the breakaway function lessens the risk of injury to a dog if the dog contacts the bottom of the hoop during a jump. Further, the breakaway feature indicates if a threshold of contact by the dog is reached, allowing a new and easily scored metric to be added to the results of an agility competition.
