Title: Culture tray for the rooting of young plants
Inventor: DUEMMEN MARGA
IPC: A01G9/00
Filed: 2003-03-17
Granted: 2009-01-06
Abstract: This invention relates to a culture tray 1, in particular for the rooting of young plants, with channels 2 that run in parallel and at predefinable distances and serve to accommodate young plants. To enable removal of individual young plants preferably without harming them and to enable relatively economical consumption of water for the young plants it is proposed in accordance with the present invention that the space for each young plant be limited by the sidewalls 3, 4 of the channel 2 and across the longitudinal direction of the channel 2 by partition webs 21, 31. This will, in particular, ensure that the water is directly supplied to each plant space and, moreover, that the plants can be pushed sideways out of the culture tray by pushing out of the culture tray the web and ledge skeletons 20, 30, and the plants are easy to take out, because there are then no sidewalls. The embodiment of the culture tray 1 invention warrants uniform moistening of all existing plant spaces and ensures that even those plants receive enough water that are, for example, partly covered by large leaves of adjacent plants, since the water draining down the elevations 5 flows into each individual plant space.

Inventor: DELCOIGNE JEAN
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2001-11-13
Granted: 2008-09-23
Abstract: The method is implemented with a management system of the time-triggered architecture type in association with a processor of a central processor unit that possesses a privileged execution mode to which access is protected by an instruction of the "call to system layer" type. The only system layer call that is authorized from an application task under consideration to the system layer consists in reporting a change of node in the control graph of the task in question. When the system layer has verified that the call is legal relative to the execution paths of the control graph as described in the constant tables of the application, all of the operations to be performed on the node in question by the system layer are predetermined by the constant tables of the application associated with the system layer. Prior to real-time execution, pre-ordering of the lists of tasks of an application under consideration is performed in a micro-kernel, which subsequently ensures, when called by the system layer during real-time execution, that task lists are updated in ordered manner depending on the new time characteristics of the tasks, specifically their earliest start times d(i) and their latest finish times f(i) as calculated by the system layer.
