  • Publication number: 20220201934
    Abstract: Technologies for controlling operating clearance between a concave assembly and a crop processing rotor of a combine harvester can be automated. The technologies can include a device configured to estimate respective dimensions of kernels of a crop harvested by a combine harvester as well as determine boundary conditions for the operating clearance based on the estimated respective dimensions of the kernels. Also, the boundary conditions are related to respective central core sizes (such as respective cob sizes) which can be determined based on the estimated respective dimensions of the kernels. The determination can include deriving the boundary conditions from a table including correlations between kernel dimensions and central core sizes, and the table can be enhanced by a feedback loop. The operating clearance can be automatically adjusted according to the determined boundary conditions and some additional factors such as a debris-to-kernel ratio in an output of the harvester.

The growing container may include a spherical upper portion and a conical lower portion. The growing container allows for the growing of individual free-rooted plants and is coupled to a fluid supply system which provides water to misters within the growing container, and which removes excess water from the bottom of the lower portion of the growing container.
