  • 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: 20240094683
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein mitigate stochasticity when controlling a mechanical system with artificial intelligence (AI) agents. In some configurations, AI agents are created using data generated by a machine learning model. Stochasticity is segmented temporally into near term and long term, and different strategies are used to address stochasticity in the different timeframes. For example, long term stochasticity may be addressed with changes to the reward function used to train the model. Short term stochasticity may be addressed by applying a margin to the output of an AI agent. Example margins include window averaging, clamps, and statistical process control bounds. In one configuration, AI agents are regression brains that are generated from setpoints inferred by the model from environmental states. The limitations inherent to fitting a regression line to this data may result in some predicted setpoints being outside of an allowed range.

  • Patent number: 11844637
    Abstract: A self-shielded and computer controlled system for performing non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy using a linear accelerator mounted within a two degree-of-freedom radiation shield coupled to a three-degree of freedom patient table is provided. The radiation shield can include an axial shield rotatable about an axial axis and an oblique shield independently rotatable about an oblique axis, thereby providing improved range of trajectories of the therapeutic and diagnostic radiation beams. Such shields can be balanced about their respective axes of rotation and about a common support structure to facilitate ease of movement.

  • Publication number: 20230297071
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a wildlife reproduction includes placing a reference device relative to a wildlife subject. The reference device pertains to scale and chromaticity coordinates to provide an accurate size and color reference for fabricating the wildlife reproduction of the wildlife subject. The wildlife subject is photographed in combination with the reference device at one or more predefined locations to produce two dimensional photographic image data. The two dimensional image data is converted to a three dimensional image file using photogrammetry. A value of the principal dimension of the wildlife subject is determined using the reference device. Dimensions of at least one other feature of the wildlife subject are calculated from the principal dimension to modify a three-dimensional image file of a selected wildlife subject to correspond to the wildlife subject. A three dimensional wildlife reproduction is fabricated from the modified three-dimensional image file of the selected wildlife subject.
