A solar panel system for operation in airborne particulate environments is provided. The system includes solar panels and a frame having slider structures on opposing sides configured to receive the solar panels. A brush cleaner spans a full width of the solar panels and includes end structures coupled with the slider structures for linear movement along a length of the solar panels, a brush extending between the two end structures, and a top panel having an array comprising two sets of holes. A light source is configured to emit light toward the solar panels, and an optical sensor is configured to detect dust on the solar panels. A plate attached to one side of the brush cleaner includes air nozzles configured to blow air based on dust detection, and an air compressor box is positioned on one end structure to power the air nozzles without obstructing light or airflow.

A tower garden for vertical farming includes a vertical column with a plurality of vertical growth modules. The plurality of vertical growth modules are stacked over and connected to each other in a vertical direction and are configured to grow plants in the vertical direction. The tower garden further includes a base positioned below the vertical column. The base is configured to receive a reservoir including an agricultural medium. The tower garden further includes a perforated hose extending from the base of the vertical column in the vertical direction. The perforated hose is configured as a conduit for the agricultural medium to flow upwards and cascade over roots of the plants. Each growth module includes a plastic pocket with a hole.

A smart cane for an individual includes a linear main frame rod (LMFR), a linear extending rod (LER) slidably connected to the LMFR, a load-bearing feet coupled to the LER, a top case assembly having a pivot connected to an end of the LMFR, and a hand grip coupled to an outer side of the top case assembly. A casing box of the top case assembly is in the form of an irregular hexagonal cell having an axis of symmetry that is coaxial with an axis of the hand grip. Two longest sides of the irregular hexagonal cell are opposite one another and two shortest sides of the irregular hexagonal cell are of equal length and are opposite one another.

Vertical farming system

A vertical farming spraying system including a robotic mobile sprayer with a base and driving members. The robotic mobile sprayer includes a first cylindrical element connected to a first pump and a second cylindrical element connected to a second pump. A first mechanical support is mounted on the base, supporting a humidity sensor and a humidifier sprayer connected to the first pump; and a second mechanical support is mounted on the base, supporting a disinfection sensor and a disinfection sprayer connected to the second pump. A control unit controls operation of the driving members and mechanical supports, and of the pumps through the respective sensors via a flow control sensor. The vertical farming spraying system further includes a vertically oriented elongated cylindrical support encircled by a spiral path, designed to guide the robotic mobile sprayer from the base to the top for humidification and disinfection operations.
