Method and apparatus for automated operations, such as pruning, harvesting, spraying and/or maintenance, on plants, and particularly plants with foliage having features on many length scales or a wide spectrum of length scales, such as female flower buds of the marijuana plant. The invention utilizes a convolutional neural network for image segmentation classification and/or the determination of features. The foliage is imaged stereoscopically to produce a three-dimensional surface image, a first neural network determines regions to be operated on, and a second neural network determines how an operation tool operates on the foliage. For pruning of resinous foliage the cutting tool is heated or cooled to avoid having the resins make the cutting tool inoperable.

Method for Cultivation of Monarda Fistulosa for Production of Thymoquinone

Номер: US20130281740A1
Автор: William G. Rohlfsen
Принадлежит: PRAIRIE PHARMS LLC

A method for cultivating Monarda fistulosa for production of thymoquinone includes planting seeds at rates between about 2.5 and about 5 pounds per acre, preferably about 4 pounds per acre. The heavy rate of planting produces plants bearing oil without weed contamination and reduces herbicide use due to production of natural herbicides by the monarda plants. Seeding and mowing the first season, and harvesting in seasons thereafter reduce costs. The method results in increased production of essential oils including thymoquinone and thymohydroquinone at levels up to about 5% of recovered oils, and which may be distilled from the plant.

Vertically oriented modular systems and methods for horticulture using stackable, removable containers dimensioned according to the Fibonacci Sequence and configured to hold plants with or without sub-containers with roots wholly or partially submerged in aqueous nutrient solution for aerohydroponic growth with intake and outtake apertures and at least one conduit to deliver, air, and/or aqueous nutrient solution in fluid communication with other stacked containers, and adjustable baffling to control nutrient solution delivery. The containers are releasably divisible across the face of the container to promote removal, harvest and transplantation without disrupting or damaging plant roots. The containers can also be configured with sensors paired or connected to a computing system to monitor, measure, and store data related to monitoring plant growth. Mounting systems with container center of gravity below the mounting point for stability and automated track based systems for planting, monitoring, and lighting, and harvesting can also be used.

Base Cutter Blade

Принадлежит: Crompion International

An improved base cutter blade suited for use in a sugar cane harvester. The preferred improved blade has a generally elongated flat body with opposing longitudinal edges. A removable, replaceable knife is also provided. The knife is made to releasably engage the leading edge of the body. Grooves are preferably centrally positioned in both edges of the body. In the preferred configuration, the knife dovetails with the portion of the groove corresponding to the leading edge of the body. Thus, the knife will perform most of the cutting work and bear the brunt of the wear suffered by the blade. When the knife becomes dull, only the knife need be replaced, which can be done quickly. This will save a significant amount of time during harvest operations. It will also reduce the amount of material that is consumed in the form of worn out blades.
