| 20090158650 | GARDEN TOOL - An apparatus configured to facilitate removal of a growing medium and the root structure of a plant surrounded by the growing medium while maintaining the integrity of the growing medium and root structure. The apparatus comprises a U-shaped connector body having a first blade and a second blade extended down there from. The first blade has a first end and a second end to which the first end of the U-shaped connector body is connected. The connection of the first blade to the U-shaped connector body is at an angle causing the first blade to extend downward when the U-shaped connector body is positioned horizontally. The second blade has a first end and a second end to which the second end of the U-shaped connector body is connected. The connection of the second blade to the U-shaped body is at an angle causing the second blade to extend downward when the U-shaped connector body is positioned horizontally. The apparatus is configured such that the distance between the first and second blade may be decreased upon applying pressure to the first and second ends of the U-shaped connector body. Decreasing the distance between the first and second blades allows for the positioning of the blades to facilitate insertion of the first and second blades down a sidewall assembly of a container cell. During insertion of the first and second blades into a container cell, the first and second blades are positioned between the interior walls of the cell sidewall assembly and a growing medium that surrounds a plant root structure. Applying pressure to the first and second ends of the u-shaped connector causes the first and second blades to press against the growing medium and facilitate removal of the growing medium upon the lifting of the apparatus. | 06-25-2009 |

| 20100241285 | TECHNIQUE FOR AGGREGATING LOADS WITH TIME-VARYING OPERATING CYCLES - Embodiments of a system, a method, and a computer-program product (e.g., software) for aggregating an energy service from a group of loads with time-varying operating cycles are described. This aggregation may be performed by an aggregator, which provides the energy service to a power-system operator. In particular, for a desired demand response, a demand-response mechanism may modify a demand response of a given load by mapping an initial operating cycle of the load before a demand-response event to a final operating cycle. In addition, the demand-response mechanism may transition the given load to a new operating cycle associated with the demand-response event using a temporal set-point trajectory. This aggregation technique may ensure that a distribution of phases of the group of loads is, on average, uncorrelated with each other, either by preserving or modifying the distribution of phases prior to the demand-response event. | 09-23-2010 |
