A system for providing self watering of plants on a display structure. The system includes a top on the display structure having sides and a bottom forming a water tight structure. A reservoir having a series of perforations forming a honeycomb pattern is placed in the top. A water supply pipe having a series of spaced perforations extends along one side of the top. A capillary mat is placed over the reservoir for plants to sit upon. In use, water is supplied through the perforations of the water supply pipe evenly across the reservoir. The capillary mat absorbs the water until the mat is saturated. This water is absorbed by the roots of the plants in containers on the mat as needed.

An arrangement for use in a refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, at least one evaporator unit, and at least one expansion valve. The arrangement includes first and second microsystems and first and second controllers. The first microsystem includes a first MEMs sensor configured to measure at least a first operational parameter of a first of the plurality of refrigeration devices. The first controller is operable to generate a first actuator control signal based on a first control signal, and is configured to generate the first control signal based directly or indirectly on the first operational parameter measurement. The second microsystem includes a second MEMs sensor configured to measure at least a second operational parameter of a second of the plurality of refrigeration devices. The second controller is operable to generate a second actuator control signal based on a second control signal, and is configured to generate the second control signal based directly or indirectly on the second operational parameter measurement.

An apparatus for the production and collation of mineral fibers, comprising an air fiberization apparatus for generating mineral fibers, a collection chamber for collecting the fibers produced, and a cyclone type air exhaust apparatus connected by a duct to an upper portion of the collection chamber, the exhaust apparatus reducing the air pressure generated within the collection chamber thereby increasing the efficiency of fiber collection, and means for returning mineral fibers escaping from the collection chamber through the cyclone exhaust apparatus to the main fiber discharge position.
