| 047100700 | MATERIAL DISTRIBUTOR WITH PLANT MANIPULATING, CULTIVATING OR SENSING (E.G., TO POSITION PLANT RELATIVE TO DISTRIBUTOR) | 6 |
| 20110296750 | ROLLING HERBICIDE APPLICATOR AND SHIELD - A rolling herbicide applicator contains an herbicide nozzle fastened to a rigid shaft and axle at the center of a rolling disc for selectively applying herbicide to undesirable plants, while shielding desirable plants from herbicide overspray. The rolling applicator allows a user to trace a flowing outline through landscape arrangements of any shape with a steady movement as the rolling disc proceeds along the outline. The open design simultaneously provides the operator a direct and continuous view of the sprayer in operation. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20130318867 | PLANT GROWING SYSTEM USING EXTERNAL DATA - A system for automating the growing of crops, such as grapevines. Combinations of data from sensors local to a vineyard, and from optional remote stations and sensors, is combined with a control system to accurately control the dispensing of water and chemicals such as insecticides, disease prevention fungicides and fertilizers. The materials are dispensed through a multiple channel conduit which allows conflicting, or incompatible, types of materials to be transported through a common assembly. Sensors are attached to the conduit so that the placement of sensors can occur simultaneously with the laying of the conduit. This approach also ensures correct placement and spacing of the sensors with respect to each plant, or plant area, to be monitored and treated. | 12-05-2013 |
| 20140026474 | AUTOMATED GROW SYSTEM - Embodiments generally relate to a system for growing plants or other living organisms. A container is used that includes sensors for sensing conditions of the plant. Dispensers, such as emitters, provide a way to dispense materials such as water, nutrients, insecticides, herbicides, etc. under human or machine control. A network connection allows monitoring and control of the container from a remote site. Management of plant growth can be local or remote, or a combination of the two. Control expertise can be selected by a user who is local to the container from a website. Control expertise can also be provided by a human expert who is remote from the container. Other features are described. | 01-30-2014 |
| 20140182197 | ROTARY TYPE AUTOMATIC AGRICULTURAL CULTIVATING EQUIPMENT - Agricultural cultivating equipment includes a support unit, a rotating unit, a driving unit for driving the rotating unit, a transmission unit extending around the rotating unit, a plurality of loading units, and a supply unit. The transmission unit includes a plurality of hangers. The loading units are disposed respectively on the hangers. Each of the loading units is circulatable between an upper limit position and a lower limit position. The supply unit includes a water supplying device for supplying water into the loading units, and a lighting device for lighting the loading units. | 07-03-2014 |
| 20140196363 | AUTOMATIC AGRICULTURAL CULTIVATING EQUIPMENT WITH A LOADING UNIT ROTATABLE ABOUT A VERTICAL AXIS - An automatic agricultural cultivating equipment includes a supporting unit, a rotating unit, a driving unit, a loading unit, an operating unit, and a supply unit. The rotating unit is driven by the driving unit to rotate on the supporting unit about a vertical axis, and defines an operation region and a cultivation region. The loading unit includes a plurality of loading plates disposed on the rotating unit and in the cultivation region. The supply unit is disposed on the rotating unit for supplying water and light to the loading unit. | 07-17-2014 |
| 20160095281 | Systems And Methods For Using Light Energy To Facilitate Penetration Of Substances In Plants - Systems and methods are disclosed for delivering a substance into a plant. The systems and methods include a light energy that is applied to a first area on the plant to create a first indentation. The first indentation can be a minor incision or a rupture of a portion of the first area. Once the first indentation is created, a first dosage of the substance is applied to the first area in an amount effective to promote a biological response of the plant. It is contemplated that at least a portion of the substance is absorbed by the plant via the first indentation. | 04-07-2016 |
