Abstract:
Equipment and processes for curing and decarboxylating botanical oils, and in particular oils such as cannabidiol (“CBD”) and tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) from plants of the genus Cannabis (including both THC-lacking industrial hemp and THC-bearing varieties) are described. Lower temperatures, extended cure cycles and inert-gas processing improve product quality and reduce undesired oxidation, resulting in clear, homogenous oils with less tendency to crystallize.
Abstract:
A system for controlling power distribution including: a mobile software application, where said application is installed on at least one portable electronic device; a Wi-Fi network; programmable logic controllers (PLC), where the PLC's are placed on circuit breakers throughout a power distribution system; and signals sent between the PLC's and the at least one portable electronic device, wherein said signals include control commands between the at least one portable electronic device to the PLC's, and status signals from the PLC's to the at least one portable electronic device indicating status of respective circuit breakers in the power distribution system, wherein said signals are transmitted over the Wi-Fi network.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for configuring automatic playback settings on a media playback device. A graphical user interface displays automatic playback settings and receives selections of customized settings for automatic playback. The settings can include context granularity for automatic playback, limiting autoplay to when the media playback device is connected to a wireless network, and activating an audible notification when automatic playback of media content is beginning. An initial queue of media content is selected for playback on the media playback device. The system ascertains whether autoplay is enabled for a particular situation. If autoplay is enabled, the system automatically generates a queue of media that is related to the initial queue and initiates playback on the media playback device after the initial queue concludes.
Abstract:
A paper/plastic laminate suitable for use in laser and digital copiers and printers etc. that use heat set fuser toner adhesion as the method for fusing/bonding an ink to a paper. The laminate includes a paper web laminated to a polymeric film using 100% solids, or solventless, adhesives. The polymeric film is made from a biodegradable polymeric material such as a polylactide or a biodegradable polyolefin. An electromagnetic shielding material includes a paper web, a biodegradable polymeric material; and a conductive layer in a laminate structure that, when interposed between a receiving antenna of an RFID smart chip and a transmitting antenna of a signal generator, prevents the reading of the chip.
