Publication number: 20240046377Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for updating an agricultural prescription for a geographic region. An example computer-implemented method includes executing an agricultural prescription, via farming equipment, in a geographic region and receiving, during execution of the prescription, sensor data from the farming equipment and operating data representing local operating settings for the farming equipment. Task execution data for the agricultural prescription is generated based on the received sensor data and received operating data for the farming equipment, and compared to expected data for execution of the prescription by the farming equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Patrick Lee Dumstorff, A. Corbett S. Kull, Christopher Sears Mikelson, Craig Eugene Rupp

Patent number: 11763400Abstract: A method begins by a computing device allocating a plurality of tasks of an agricultural prescription for a farming geographic area to a fleet of farming equipment. While executing tasks of the plurality of tasks, the method continues with at least some of the fleet of farming equipment collecting task execution data. Based on the task execution data, the method continues with the computing device updating at least one of the agricultural prescription, the plurality of tasks, and the allocation of at least one task of the plurality of tasks.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: CLIMATE LLCInventors: Craig Eugene Rupp, A. Corbett S. Kull, Christopher Sears Mikelson, Patrick Lee Dumstorff

Patent number: 10575353Abstract: A protective connector includes a core assembly structure, mating pins and a mating coupling structure. The core assembly structure has circuitry mounted therein. The mating coupling structure substantially encases the core assembly structure and mates with another connector such that the mating pins of the protective connector are electrically coupled to pins of the other connector. The mating coupling structure is mechanically free-moving with respect to the core assembly structure such that forces applied to the mating coupling structure to mate the protective connector to the other connector are not applied to the circuitry within the core assembly structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2019Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: The Climate CorporationInventors: Christopher Sears Mikelson, Chad Plattner
