  • Publication number: 20240127367
    Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

  • Publication number: 20230378779
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for quick connect magnetic charging cable. This bracket facilitates the holding and self-positioning of a self-biasing cable (i.e., magnetic cable), such that it can quickly and easily connect the charging port of an electronics device, when the device is placed in proximately to the cable, thus removing the need for the user to insert the charging cable themselves with a separate action. The cable holding mechanism is mounted onto another mount designed to mechanically hold the electronic device in a specific orientation.

  • Patent number: 11628110
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an apparatus and/or method involving respective sets of interleaved pressure cells, which operate to inflate and deflate independently of one another. The pressure cells further provide shear relief by deflecting along a direction of movement, such as along a shear direction of an upper surface coupled to the pressure cells. Such deflection may, for example, be implemented with elongated pressure cells and along a direction that is perpendicular to a length thereof. Shear relief in this regard may be facilitated by undercut regions of the respective pressure cells, at which location the pressure cells are coupled to an underlying surface and which is smaller in dimension relative to an overlying portion of the pressure cell.
