Plant trimmer
A leafy plant trimmer that is operable by a single person has a basket that is rotated in relation to a stationary sling in order to trim plants placed within the basket. The basket and the sling are housed within a trimmer body that is pivotally connected to a pivot stand. The trimmer body can be rotated between a product loading position for filling the basket and an in-use position for trimming the plants within the basket. A motor housed in the trimmer body spins the basket through a drive shaft. The motor is electrically connected to a timer such that the trimmer can be operated at designated time intervals. Trimmings are expelled from the trimmer body through a debris hole and collected below. A first receptacle attachment and a second receptacle attachment are positioned below the trimmer body and allow a receptacle to be positioned for collecting the trimmings.

CURVILINEAR CLASSIFICATION OF FEED STOCK
A method and system for air classification of a milled feed stock includes generating a feed stream by combining the milled feed stock with at least one gasflow element, wherein the milled feed stock includes a plurality of particle sizes. The method and system includes directing the feed stream across a curvilinear surface, such that the milled feed stock in the feed stream separates into a plurality of classification streams, each of the plurality of classification streams based on the particle sizes of the milled feed stock. Therein, the method and system separates the plurality of classification streams and collects each of the plurality of classification streams, thereby classifying the milled feed stock contained therein based on the particle sizes for each of the plurality of classification streams.

INTERPRETING MEDIA
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 textual descriptions as a proxy for an entigen group. The entigen group represents a most likely interpretation of the media.

STATION FOR THE CONVEYANCE AND MEASUREMENT OF HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTS
A station for the conveyance and measurement of horticultural products, having elements for the movement and support, along a predefined trajectory, of a horticultural products, which can be arranged in series so that they rest on the movement and support elements. The conveyance and measurement station includes at least one primary dispenser of pressurized fluid, configured to direct a continuous or intermittent jet of the fluid toward the predefined trajectory, and an apparatus for measuring at least one parameter which represents the extent of the deviation imposed by the jet on each product in transit, with respect to the predefined trajectory, for the consequent indirect verification of the weight and/or of the specific gravity of the respective product, correlated with the extent of the deviation.

Processing pomace from grape crush to harvest grape seeds
Systems and methods are provided for separating seed from wet material. The method includes aerating raw, wet material comprising seed to provide an aerated material and aspirating the aerated material. The aspirating separates seed from liftings of the aerated material, and the separated seed can then be recovered.
Device for Separating Plants and the Plant Byproduct
A device for separating plants and plant byproduct, the device comprising: a housing; a basin located in the housing, the basin configured to hold plant material; at least one rotating arm located in the basin; a shelf located below and adjacent to the basin, the shelf comprising a plurality of shelf holes; a blade configured to cut material extending below the shelf through the shelf holes; a first sieve located below and generally adjacent the shelf, the sieve containing a plurality of holes of a first sieve hole size; and a bottom container located below the sieve.
