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.

Variable-scale, modular, easily manufacturable, energy efficient, reliable, and computer-operated farming superstructure systems (FSS) may be used to produce cannabis for human consumption with minimal water and environmental impact. A system for producing electricity, heat, and cannabis includes a power production system (PPS), a farming superstructure system (FSS), and a temperature control unit (TCU). Methods to method to separate volatiles from cannabis are described. Methods to asexually clone a plurality of cannabis plants are also provided. Cannabinoid product processing systems are described (emulsion mixing system, evaporation system, spray drying system, crystallization, foodstuff preparation system, softgel encapsulation system).

Variable-scale, modular, easily manufacturable, energy efficient, reliable, and computer-operated farming superstructure systems (FSS) may be used to produce cannabis for human consumption with minimal water and environmental impact. A FSS system may comprise modules including liquid distribution and plant growing. A FSS may be configured to be constructed out of a plurality of containerized modules.

A plant stripper is provided. The plant stripper, in one implementation includes a motor comprising a drive shaft; a first roller coupled to the drive shaft and configured to be turned by the motor; and a second roller opposing the first roller and defining a gap between the rollers for receiving a stem of a plant. A stripping guide element defines an opening disposed opposite the gap between the first and second roller. The opening is defined by a surface surrounding the opening and configured to contact plant material while allowing the stem to pass through the opening. The surface is configured to remove plant material from the stem as the stem is pulled through the opening by the first and second rollers.

A removable motor housing for a plant material trimming device. The removable housing may include a first motor housing connectable to the plant trimming device. The first motor housing may be slidably or pivotably connectable to the plant trimming device. The first motor housing may be operable to receive an output shaft from a first motor in the first housing. The output shaft may be operable to communicate with an input shaft of the plant trimming device. A biasing device may be connectable to the first motor housing and the plant trimming device for biasing the first motor housing into a first position. When the first motor housing is in the first position a substantially constant force is applied between the input shaft of the plant trimming device and the output shaft of the first motor.

A foodstuff item characteristic detection system (10) comprising: a magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, apparatus (12); a conveyor (14,16,18) for conveying a plurality of foodstuff items (11) such that the foodstuff items are imaged by the MRI apparatus (12) to produce MRI image data; and a computer configured to process the process the MRI image data to enhance the image data such that a predetermined foodstuff item characteristic is identifiable. The system (10) is configured such that, in use, a plurality of foodstuff items (11) are conveyed by the conveyor (14,16,18) such that all of the foodstuff items (11) are imaged by the MRI apparatus (12) to produce MRI image data and the MRI image data is processed by the computer to enhance the MRI image data such that the predetermined foodstuff item characteristic is identifiable.

An apparatus for the treatment of horticultural products, including in series at least a first station, configured for supplying a handling and processing line with an indiscriminate mass of horticultural products, a second station, arranged along the line and configured for the acquisition of information related to at least one parameter of interest of each horticultural product in transit and for the transmission of the information to an electronic control and management unit, and a third station, arranged along the line and configured for the selective conveyance of each horticultural product in transit toward one of at least two distinct collection stations. The apparatus includes an electronic vision device, arranged along a chosen point of the line that is between the first station and the second station and is configured to count the number of horticultural products in transit.
