A foliage shredder that can shred inputted foliage matter into uniform sized particles without pulverizing the inputted foliage matter includes a housing, a shredding axle, a motor, a stand, a digital timer, a power cord, and a lid. The shredding axle is concentrically positioned within a cylindrical compartment of the housing and rotatably coupled to a rotor of the motor. A stator of the motor is externally connected to the housing and electrically connected to the power cord through the digital timer. The lid is terminally attached to the housing thus closing the cylindrical compartment. The cylindrical compartment functions as a container unit for the inputted foliage as the electrically powered shredding axle shreds the inputted foliage into uniform sized particles.

A land preparation tool. The tool body can have a longitudinal axis, and include a first imaginary plane and a second imaginary plane. The first and second imaginary planes can intersect orthogonally at the longitudinal axis. The tool body can also include a concave cutting surface tapering from a proximal midpoint to a distal edge comprising a circular blade, and a multi-faceted surface mounting interface disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface. The mounting interface can have a plurality of beveled surfaces defining a first pair of V-shaped surfaces and a second pair of V-shaped surfaces, wherein a first apex of the first pair of V-shaped surfaces is disposed in the first imaginary plane and a second apex of the second pair of V-shaped surfaces is disposed in the secondary imaginary plane. A channel can be disposed into the mounting interface and extend into the tool body.

The present invention relates to a container in which one or more plants can be held. The invention relates in particular to a container in which plants and/or seeds are able to grow. The invention also relates to a method for growing plants. According to the invention, the container comprises a container base having a growth medium in which one or more plants can be grown, a container lid that is coupled to the container base, and a cutting member for cutting through the one or more plants. According to the invention, the cutting member can be actuated prior to or during an action of at least substantially breaking the coupling between the container lid and the container base.

Disclosed is a pruning and sieving apparatus, which resolves time-consuming and laborious problems in the existing pruning method of flower plants. The pruning and sieving apparatus includes a hollow body, including two relatively disposed open axial ends; an interior pruning lining attached inside the hollow body, where the interior pruning lining includes a plurality of sidewall pruning holes arranged in a distributed manner; a sieving screen, where the sieving screen includes a plurality of sieving holes arranged in a distributed manner, and is disposed in the interior pruning lining to divide the internal space of the interior pruning lining into a pruning chamber and a collection chamber; and two end caps disposed on the two open axial ends.

A method for execution by a computing device includes obtaining a set of media element identigens for media elements of media to produce sets of media element identigens. The sets of media element identigens are possible interpretations of a media element. The method further includes generating a set of relationships between media elements. The relationships provide a list of one or more ways in which the media elements are related. The method further includes processing different permutations of the sets of media element identigens using the set of relationships to generate an entigen group. The entigen group represents a most likely interpretation of the media.

A harvester selectively harvests edible crowns ready for harvesting. The harvester may include an imaging system for capturing image(s) of the edible crowns and a de-leafing component that removes leaves of the broccoli plant. For example, broccoli plants typically have an abundance of leaves that reside beneath, alongside of, and even above the edible crowns. The leaves may conceal the edible crowns and impact a quality of the image(s). The de-leafing component may be positioned in front of the imaging system, relative to a direction of travel of the harvester, to remove the leaves and isolate or expose the edible crown. Therein, the imaging system may image the edible crowns for use in determining whether the edible crowns are ready for harvesting.
