Hydroponics apparatus
A hydroponics apparatus includes a housing; two or more channels provided vertically on one side of the housing to be spaced apart from each other; brackets coupled to the channels; and cultivation modules seated on the brackets, wherein a plurality of cultivation modules is fitted and coupled to each other to have an extended form and water channels are formed to communicate with each other, the cultivation modules in the extended form are coupled to each channel and seated through a plurality of brackets disposed in a horizontal direction, and the plurality of brackets are coupled to the channels so that heights are gradually increased or decreased from one-side bracket in the horizontal direction to the other bracket in the horizontal direction to form an inclination of the water channel.
Plant grower
A plant grower includes a base, an upper cover having a surface parallel to an upper surface of the base, the upper cover being disposed above the base so as to be spaced apart from the upper surface of the base, a plurality of growing panels disposed along the circumference of the upper surface of the base, the plurality of growing panels being rotatably disposed at the base and the upper cover, and a lighting bar extending vertically upwards from the center of the upper surface of the base to the upper cover, the lighting bar emitting light in a direction in which the plurality of growing panels is disposed, and a plurality of growing holders, into each of which a plant is inserted, disposed at one surface of each of the plurality of growing panels.
INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD
An information processing device is configured to acquire prediction information of a weather condition outside a plastic greenhouse and cultivation information of produce inside the plastic greenhouse and predict an environmental condition inside the plastic greenhouse based on the prediction information of the weather condition and the cultivation information. Cultivation information includes at least one item of information from among the type of produce, a cultivation amount, a growth state, and a cultivation ground. A prediction model may be generated with machine learning.

COMPACT CLOSED-SPACE SYSTEM FOR ILLUMINATION, CLIMATE CONTROL AND AIR PURIFICATION
A compact conditioning system for controlling a volume, comprises: (a) at least one light source, said light source being coupled with a replaceable focusing lens; (b) at least one fan; (c) at least one temperature sensor; (d) control circuitry adapted to receive inputs from said sensor(s) and/or from a user, and to operate said light source(s) and/or said fan(s) as a result thereof; and (e) a housing suitable to house said light source, fan and control circuitry and adapted to be positioned at the top of a structural element defining a closed space.
Wireless Network for Horticultural Systems
Systems and methods disclosed herein include a wireless horticultural system, which includes a computer, an adapter configured to receive an input from the computer, in which the input is formatted in a first native communications protocol of the computer, convert the input from the first native communications protocol into a first wireless signal, and transmit the first wireless signal to one or more controllers. The system further includes the one or more controllers, in which a first controller in the one or more controllers is connected to the adapter and configured to receive the first wireless signal from the adapter, and provide the input encoded in the first wireless signal to a device connected to the first controller.
TRUE LIVING ORGANIC SOIL BED SYSTEM
A true living organic (TLO) plant growing system that allows soil to be reused for every new growth cycle. In one aspect, the TLO plant growing system of the solves the problem of preventing opportunities for anaerobic micro-organism activity from building up within the soil thereby creating toxic chemicals that kill microbes beneficial to the growth of the plant. Specifically, the TLO system includes an aerated chamber between the bottom of the bed and the soil that the plants are growing to provide oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, and moisture to the TLO soil and plants and to promote optimal growing conditions, among other advantages disclosed herein.

APPARATUS FOR CULTIVATING PLANTS
An apparatus for cultivating plants may include a cabinet having a cultivation space; a door that opens and closes the cultivation space; at least one bed disposed in the cultivation space and on which plants are cultivated; at least one light assembly that radiates light for photosynthesis toward the at least one bed; a water tank that stores water to be supplied to the at least one bed; a machine compartment separated from the cultivation space at a lower portion in the cabinet, that communicates with an outside of the apparatus, and that accommodates a compressor and a condenser forming a cooling cycle for controlling a temperature of the cultivation space; an air duct that connects the machine compartment and the cultivation space and guides air in the machine compartment to the cultivation space; and a return duct that connects the cultivation space and the machine compartment and guides air in the cultivation space to the machine compartment.
Irradiance-controlled fixture for horticultural applications
Various implementations disclosed herein includes a method for operating lighting fixtures in horticultural applications. The method may include receiving a user input of a desired irradiance for a first color channel of one or more lighting fixtures that irradiates a plant bed, in which each of the one or more lighting fixtures comprises at least one light emitting diode (LED) array, determining, for each of the one or more lighting fixtures, a PWM setting of the first color channel such that each of the one or more lighting fixtures irradiate the plant bed at the desired irradiance based on calibration data stored in each of the one or more lighting fixtures, and applying, to each of the one or more lighting fixtures, the determined PWM setting of the first color channel.
