Abstract: Water content in a soil is determined by measuring the attenuation of secondary background cosmic radiation as this radiation propagates through a layer of soil and water. By measuring the attenuation of secondary cosmic radiation in the range of 5 MeV-15 MeV it is possible to obtain a relative measure of the water content in a soil layer above a suitable radiation detector and thus establish when and how much irrigation is needed. The electronic circuitry is designed so that a battery pack can be used to supply power.

Abstract: A ground based remote sensing system for use in conjunction with agricultural irrigation systems. The ground based remote sensing system includes a sensor package mounted to a carriage for movement along a track attached to the agricultural irrigation system. The track is triangular in cross section and includes springs between abutting sections so that travel of the carriage along the track will not be compromised by misalignment between the abutting sections. The sensor package is mounted to the carriage by a mount which acts to ensure that the sensor package remains in a predetermined orientation with respect to the agricultural crop from which data is being gathered. The mount also includes an inclinometer to permit correction of agricultural data gathering errors due to misalignment of the sensor package with respect to the agricultural crop. The ground based remote sensing system also includes conducting rails to transmit energy from a speed control circuit to the carriage motor. The output voltage, and thus the speed of the carriage, of the speed control circuit is variable. A traverse direction control circuit reverses the direction of the carriage as it reaches either end of the track so that the traverse direction control circuit and the speed control circuit collectively move the carriage continuously back and forth along the track. As the sensor package, mounted to the carriage, moves back and forth, it gathers agricultural crop data which can then be downloaded to a computer for processing and analysis.

Abstract: There is provided a water-activating shower apparatus that emits activated hot or cold water without requiring a separate particular space where water is to be activated. An activated-water generating part filled with a large number of ceramic materials that radiate far-infrared rays is attached to the showerhead and/or to a pipe-connecting part upstream thereof. This water-activating shower apparatus activates the hot or cold water by far-infrared rays before the hot or cold water is emitted from the showerhead. The activated-water generating part is constituted (a) in an accommodation chamber that is formed in the showerhead, or (b) in an attachment member for attaching the showerhead.

Abstract: An irrigation system controller communicates with peripheral sensors using control valve wires as the medium over which to send and receive electronic signals. Various types of sensors such as soil moisture, temperature, etc., can be interfaced to this system. A sensor that is near a control valve can be connected to the control valve wires, eliminating the need to run additional sensor wires back to the controller. Installation costs are reduced because of less wire to run.

Abstract: An irrigation system having an irrigation controller, a means for detecting changes in environmental conditions, a valve, and a sprinkler connected to a irrigation supply. The controller controls the operation of the valve and the sprinkler in accordance with an irrigation schedule to selectively irrigate a specified number of vegetation areas. The irrigation schedule is adjusted automatically in response to changing environmental conditions. The irrigation schedule is created based on a number of input parameters including the number of cycles to be executed each day, the duration of each cycle, and the number of days in the irrigation period. After receiving the appropriate input parameters, the controller then automatically determines the days within the irrigation period on which irrigation should occur.
