Abstract: A detection system detects malfunctions in an autonomous farming vehicle during an autonomous routine using one or more models and data from sensors coupled to the autonomous farming vehicle. The models may include machine-learned models trained on the sensor data and configured to identify objects indicative of an operational or malfunctioning component within a tilling assembly such as a tilling shank or sweep. Additionally, a machine-learned model may be trained on sensor data to detect whether debris has plugged the tilling assembly of the autonomous farming vehicle. In response to detecting a malfunction or a plug, the detection system may modify the autonomous routine (e.g., pausing operation) or provide information for the malfunction to be addressed (e.g., the likely location of a malfunctioning sweep that has detached from the tilling assembly).

Abstract: A candidate is enrolled for continuous background check monitoring where a computing system continually electronically monitors data sources that include background check data for data of the candidate for any changes or updates for the candidate, until the candidate is no longer enrolled. If a record is received, an identity matching process is performed to determine the probability the record belongs to the candidate. If the probability is below a threshold or manual review is desired, the system automatically triggers a manual review of the record to determine if it belongs to the candidate. If the system determines the record belongs to the candidate, a verification of the data may be triggered including triggering a county records search using the record as a pointer. The county records search may have more complete information. The system receives the results and automatically generates a report and transmits a notification of the report.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for implementing configurable processing of data by an enterprise platform. One method includes an operation for receiving via an Application Programming Interface (API) of a frontend of an enterprise platform, a configuration file for configuring a custom property. Further, the method includes identifying services in a backend of the enterprise platform for implementing the custom property by the enterprise platform, the services comprising a storage service for storing values of the custom property. The method further includes operations for configuring program handlers for the custom property in the identified services, and for receiving a request, via the API of the frontend, to present a user interface (UI) for setting a value of the custom property. A presentation of the custom property is set in the UI based on the configuration of the custom property, and the UI is presented on a display.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for personalization and engagement by passive connection. A unique connection, a unique campaigner landing page and a unique constituent landing page are first provisioned in a connections database. Data that is sourced from the campaigner landing page is then associated with the unique connection. The constituent landing page is then personalized in response to a combination of the data just received and the data already collected at that point in the unique connection. Then data that is sourced from the constituent landing page by passive connection is associated with the unique connection. The constituent landing page is then further personalized in response to a combination of the data collected from the campaigner landing page, the data collected from the constituent landing page and the data in the unique connection.

An actual value of the Hall sensor output is measured. An actual value of the drive current is measured. A potential value of the Hall sensor output corresponding to the actual value of the Hall sensor output is selected.
