Shelving that automatically waters your plants, even when you forget

a82mnanwzpbrud9k5n5q.jpg

It might not be as heartbreaking as saying goodbye to a pet, but no one wants to see their plants die—it’s a sign of failure. And since using a device that reminds you to water them is useless if you’re never home, this simple set of shelving will serve as your horticultural assistant, keeping your plants watered—and alive—for up to an entire month without intervention.

It sounds too good to be true, but it’s not. After all, entire jungles and forests thrive without mankind’s intervention, they just need a reliable source of water. So instead of rain clouds, the Pikaplant One shelving has a large clear water reservoir on top that you need to fill about once a month. With the help of gravity, water is pulled down through a tube that keeps your vegetation hydrated with minimal intervention needed.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
