US Patent:

6483019, Nov 19, 2002

Filed:

Jul 30, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/917992

Inventors:

Michael M. Hamilton - San Jose CA

Assignee:

FreeHand Systems, Inc. - Los Altos CA

International Classification:

G09B 1502

US Classification:

84477R, 844831, 84DIG 6

Abstract:

A system for displaying music. An Internet server stores the music. A computer accesses the Internet server and downloads a particular musical composition. The computer stores the particular musical composition in a computer memory. A plurality of viewers is coupled to the computer. The computer retrieves, from the computer memory, the particular musical composition, and sends the particular musical composition to the plurality of viewers. The plurality of viewers displays the particular musical composition retrieved from the computer memory. The computer controls display of the particular musical composition on the plurality of viewers. Each viewer has a stylus. Each stylus is used for annotating the particular musical composition with annotations.

International Classification:

H03K 1728

US Classification:

324 7682

Abstract:

A digital phase detector composed of: a digitally controllable signal delay device having a signal input, a signal output and a control input, the delay device being operative for conducting a signal from the signal input to the signal output with a time delay having a duration determined by a control signal supplied to the control input, the signal input being connected to receive either an input signal or a digital local clock signal; a phase relation detector connected to receive a first input signal from the signal output of the signal delay device and a second input signal constituted by the one of the input signal and the digital local clock signal which is not received by the signal input of the signal delay device, for periodically comparing the phases of the first and second input signals and for producing a binary output signal composed of a succession of signal segments, each segment having a first value when the first input signal is leading the second input signal in phase and a second value when the first input signal is lagging the second input signal in phase; and a digital modulator connected for receiving the binary output signal from the phase relation detector and producing a digital output representative of the magnitude of the phase difference between the input signal and the digital local clock signal based on the values of successive signal segments of the binary output signal produced by the phase relation detector.

Abstract:

Facility layouts and configurations for an automated crop production system for controlled environment agriculture. In particular implementations, the core of the facility comprises a controlled growth environment and a central processing system. The controlled growth environment includes systems for exposing crops housed in modules, such as grow towers, to controlled environmental conditions. The central processing system may include various stations and functionality both for preparing crop-bearing modules to be inserted in the controlled growth environment, for harvesting crops from the crop-bearing modules after they have been extracted from the controlled growth environment, and for cleaning or washing crop-bearing modules for re-use. The controlled growth environment may include vertical farming structure having vertical grow towers and associated conveyance mechanisms for moving the vertical grow towers along one or more grow lines. The conveyance mechanisms may include a return transfer mechanism that creates a return or u-shaped path for each grow line.
