TREE SURGERY | 3 |
| 20110041396 | Convex Cutting and Trimming Method for Shaping Trees - A tree trimming method that is related to a convex method of angular trimming of trees. The methodology uses angle cuts for tree trimming and shaping of all shade trees, evergreen trees, and ornamental trees. The angle cutting of limbs is in a “convex cut”. This makes curved cuts bring the tree limbs in a radial shape and encourages them to grow which results in the tree canopy to be round or radial in shape. Angle cutting proves useful either on the outside perimeter or useful in vertical clearing inside the tree canopy for clearance (for power lines and such). Essentially any angle of clearing or directional shaping can be done with this of cutting method—under the canopy, on the sides, at the top, or clearing pathways through the middle without damage to the trees. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20130025193 | Convex Cutting and Trimming Method to Re-orient New Growth for Shaping Trees - A tree trimming method that is related to a convex method of pre-determined angular trimming of deciduous trees. The methodology uses pre-determined angle cuts for deciduous vegetation to re-orient new growth and shape shade trees, shrubs and ornamental trees. This pre-determined “convex cut” makes the curved cuts reorient the tree limbs to a pre-desired radial shape and encourages the tree limbs to re-orient and grow. This results in the deciduous tree canopy that is round or radial in shape. The pre-determined angle cutting proves useful for either on the outside perimeter or for clearing inside the tree canopy for power lines. Essentially any pre-determined angle of clearing or directional shaping to re-orient new growth can be done with this cutting method. | 01-31-2013 |

FOR POTATO, METHOD OR APPARATUS | 2 |
| 20090077883 | Controlled Environment System and Method for Rapid Propagation of Seed Potato Stocks - A computer controlled environment system and method are used to provide the optimum environmental and nutritional conditions for the growth and development of seed potato cuttings for the initiation and development of tubers that can be used as the seed source for further multiplication under field conditions as seed potato stock. Use of a controlled environment system and method that provides optimum cultural conditions results in rapid growth and development of the potato cutting so as up to six crops of tubers can be harvested in a calendar year. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100064582 | METHOD FOR MASS PRODUCTION OF SEEDLING OF SEED POTATO - A method of mass producing potato seedlings, involves collecting growing points of seed potatoes and culturing the growing points in a liquid or solid medium; introducing in vitro plantlets obtained from the culture of the growing points to solid culture; and removing the in vitro plantlets from the solid culture, and planting through stem cutting and acclimatizing the in vitro plantlets in deep flow culture, in which a nutrient solution is circulating. Upon planting in hydroponic facilities, such potato seedlings have high adaptability to the external environment and thus rapidly, uniformly generate roots in a short time. The rapid root anchoring prevents planted seedlings from withering, leading to death, growing poorly, and the like. The direct planting of in vitro plantlets through stem cutting without a separate acclimatization process shortens the overall production period of potato seedlings by omitting the acclimatization process. | 03-18-2010 |
