  • Publication number: 20240005288
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for plant maintenance, identification and viability scoring. An application is located on consumer devices connected to the server. Images may be submitted to the server to identify a plant type through convolutional neural network image recognition. The invention uses another artificial neural network to predict a plant's viability score or optionally, arrives at a correlation value based on a fast abbreviation set of the plant profile and third party data. The server compares plant related input and local climactic data to determine the plant's viability score. Another aspect of the invention generates and displays an augmented reality display of a plant in the user's yard.

  • Patent number: 11748984
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for plant maintenance, identification and viability scoring. An application is located on consumer devices connected to the server. The application, operating on a smart phone, utilizes onboard GPS, user input, and camera subsystems to customize plant care tips specific to a yard location and plant type. Images may be submitted to the server to identify a plant type through convolutional neural network image recognition. The invention uses another artificial neural network to predict a plant's viability score. The server receives input, such as plant type, soil type, yard location, and amount of sunlight, and the server retrieves local climactic data and plant type optimal values to return the plant's viability score for the selected location. Another aspect of the invention generates and displays an augmented reality display of a plant in the user's yard.

  • Patent number: 6078665
    Abstract: A device and method is provided using a split processor based architecture to provide physical security of information by implementing a required protocol before releasing information. The information is used as a key to a cryptographic algorithm. A chaotic cryptographic algorithm is also provided including a key space employing six parameters of a Lorentzian system of equations.

  • Patent number: 5857025
    Abstract: A device and method is provided using a split processor based architecture to provide physical security of critical information by implementing a required protocol before releasing critical information. The critical information is used as a key to a cryptographic algorithm. A chaotic cryptographic algorithm is also provided including a defined key space employing six parameters of a Lorenzian system of equations.

  • Patent number: 5377269
    Abstract: A system for controlling access to a computer. Memory-resident software logic cooperates with a remote electronic key device coupled to the computer's processor, through the printer port, to disable the computer unless an authorized key is inserted in the key device. The logic is executed in the processor responsive to the computer's system timer interrupt for continuous monitoring capability. Until a user inserts an authorized key, or upon removal of the key, the logic suspends operation of any application programs, the monitor is blanked and the mouse, keyboard and floppy disk drive are disabled. A record is stored in memory of authorized users and user audit information. Utility menu options are used to add or delete user keys, display access and usage records and to customize the number and selection of I/O devices to be disabled by the system.
