| 20120130552 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR ADEQUATELY IRRIGATING SOIL - A mobile apparatus and process for adequately irrigating soil, wherein the apparatus has an irrigation unit for irrigating soil and a mobile microwave measurement unit for determining the water content of the soil along a measurement path. A control unit is used to irrigate the soil along the measurement path depending on the measured water content. The apparatus preferably also has a water tank and leaves an area of soil to be irrigated autonomously. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20110238226 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF THE IRRIGATION OF PLANTS - A method for the automatic irrigation of plants, wherein the temporal progression of soil moisture is determined from measured soil moisture values, and said progression is used for the calculation of an optimized irrigation time duration, such that both water excess in the soil and soil drying are avoided as much as possible. Preferably, the time duration of irrigation is constantly evaluated and optimized using comparisons of measured values with prespecified moisture- and dryness threshold values (GWmoist, GWdry), and automatically adjusted to changing environmental conditions and/or plant requirements. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20080302002 | Watering System for Watering Plants - The invention relates to a method and a device ( | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080202220 | Device For Measuring Thermal Properties in a Medium and Method For Determining the Moisture Content in the Medium - The invention relates to a method and device for determining the water content of a medium, particularly of soils and the like, in which a probe or sensor ( | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080202219 | Device for Using with a Sensor for Improving Accuracy, and Sensor with an Improved Accuracy - The invention relates to a sensor for measuring the water content or moisture content in a solid matter medium, in particular to a ground humidity sensor, as well as to a device for use with a sensor for improving its accuracy. The sensor, or at least the region of the sensor designed for measurement, is surrounded by an interface, the interface absorbing and releasing moisture, as well as designed in a mechanically flexible manner, such that the interface may be adapted to a non-constant or not clearly defined surface of the solid matter medium surrounding the sensor, i.e. to the earth. By way of this, the contact surface between the sensor and the medium is optimized, and air gaps, impressions of stones, etc., are compensated or bridged. The interface is preferably manufactured of a felt of plastic fibers, and is exchangeably attached via a sensor or sensor head. | 08-28-2008 |
