Embodiment Construction

[0029] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally include systems and methods for providing communication and power via rails to carts in a growth chamber assembly line configuration. Some embodiments are configured such that a cart supporting a load travels on tracks in the growth chamber to provide substances (eg, light, water, nutrients, etc.) to seeds and / or plants included in the load on the cart. The cart may be arranged among one or more other carts on the track of the growth chamber to form an assembly line of carts. The cart receives power and communication signals via the wheels and tracks. In embodiments of the present disclosure, power and communication signals may be transmitted over common conductors (eg, the cart's rails and wheels), eliminating the need for separate systems and components that may require separate power and communication transmission systems.

[0030] In some embodiments, the pipeline has a shared power delivery system coupled to componen...

Abstract

A system includes a track having conductive rails, a signal generating circuit coupled to the conductive rails, and an electrical power source coupled to the conductive rails via the signal generatingcircuit. The signal generating circuit includes a power supply for generating trigger signals. The electrical power source provides an electrical signal to the conductive rails via the signal generating circuit. The signal generating circuit generates a first trigger signal within the electrical signal at a first time interval and generates a second trigger signal within the electrical signal ata second time interval. The first trigger signal corresponds to a beginning of a communication signal and the second trigger signal corresponds to an end of the communication signal. The communicationsignal is transmitted over a predetermined number of cycles of the electrical signal provided by the electrical power source. The predetermined number of cycles correspond to a coded communication.
