    摘要: A method and apparatus for growing plants in a heated environment. One aspect of the invention provides an apparatus for growing plants in a heated environment, with the apparatus comprising a greenhouse, a waste heat source provided to heat the greenhouse, and a radiant heat system that heats the greenhouse using the waste heat from the waste heat source. The greenhouse may be in or upon a rooftop, a space adjacent to a factory, a space adjacent to an urban store, or a space adjacent to a suburban store. In a preferred embodiment, the plants are grown hydroponically. In a different aspect, the radiant heat system uses a food grade heat transfer fluid. In another preferred embodiment, the waste heat source is a smokestack. For other embodiments, the radiant heat system resides in a floor and/or the sides of the greenhouse.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method for guiding an animal includes a hackamore for the purpose of riding without a mouth bit, chains or side shanks. Neck reining is encouraged by applying pressure to the neck and the outside of the lower jaw on the same side, which then encourages the horse to bend in the proper direction. Because of the uniquely designed hackamore, the horse is encouraged to stop with minimum pressure. As the neck rein pressure is applied, the plate twists and applies pressure to the side of the jaw, the horse moves away from the pressure providing more control to the rider. Because of the instant release of the pressure, the horse feels the rider's instant and complete release which provides for easier and faster training of the horse. The adjustable nature of the hackamore allows for the rider to fit various animals unique muzzle structure.

    摘要: A flow priority valve receives input fluid flow and divides the fluid flow between a primary device and a secondary device. The valve comprises a valve body have a bore formed therein, the bore having first and second ends and first and second annular channels formed in communication with the bore. The valve body further includes an input flow channel formed in communication with the bore for receiving the input fluid flow. A spool is movable within the bore and has a first land and a second land adjacent opposing ends of the spool. A spring is positioned within the bore for biasing the spool towards the first end of the bore. An electronically variable orifice (EVO) for electronically adjusting flow includes an EVO input portion in fluid communication with both the first annular channel and the first end of the bore, and an EVO output portion in fluid communication with both the second end of the bore and the primary device. The second annular channel is in fluid communication with the secondary device. The first and second lands are movable with the spool for selectively limiting flow from the bore to the first and second annular channels, respectively. The valve may be used for remote flow control, splitting between primary and secondary devices, and two such valves may be used to provide variable control to two devices.

    摘要: A system and method of tracking vehicles stored within a parking lot using RFID tags is disclosed. The method includes creating a record of a vehicle, where the record includes information associated with the vehicle. The method further includes assigning an RFID tag to the record associated with the vehicle, attaching the RFID tag to the vehicle, detecting the RFID tag using a first interrogator, and determining a new geographic location of the first interrogator contemporaneously with detecting the RFID tag. In addition, the method may include recording video of the vehicle, where the video includes a video record of each time when the vehicle is moved. The method includes assigning the new geographic location of the RFID tag when the RFID tag is no longer detected by the first interrogator and updating the record with the new geographic location of the RFID tag and the vehicle.

    摘要: A modeling system is configured to model a building from incomplete physical constraint information. When initial user input related to the proposed building is received that identifies a building type, a location, and a square footage, the modeling system retrieves a baseline factor based on the user input and multiplies it by the square footage to produce a baseline energy usage model. As additional user inputs are received that further define the proposed building, efficiency factors are selectively applied that model the energy usage impact related to particular user inputs to produce an adjusted energy usage model, which can be compared to the baseline energy usage model.
