Abstract: In an example, an agricultural slurry is applied to a field, for instance to change a constituent profile of the soil. For instance, a slurry application system includes a slurry applicator configured to apply the agricultural slurry. In another example, characteristics of the agricultural slurry are determined with a sensor. The characteristics of the agricultural slurry are compared with corresponding application thresholds. In yet another example, a slurry application controller cooperates with the slurry applicator or a prime mover to apply the agricultural slurry based on the comparison.

Abstract: A system is provided for cross-platform proposal creation, optimization, and deal management. The system generates a proposal plan corresponding to a distribution of target audience across a set of delivery platforms based on an adjustment of a request parameter associated with a request. The proposal plan is executed for a first time period in a flight on a first delivery platform from the set of delivery platforms based on a plurality of client-defined requirements corresponding to the request. The proposal plan is optimized for a second time period in the flight by an in-flight re-distribution of the target audience across the set of delivery platforms. Execution of the optimized proposal plan is controlled for the second time period in the flight on the first delivery platform.

Abstract: A cross-platform management system that handles cross-platform management of client requirements receives a request corresponding to a plurality of client-defined requirements to be achieved in a flight. The request for the plurality of client-defined requirements is associated with request parameters. The system generates a proposal plan corresponding to the received request based on adjustment of the one or more request parameters. The proposal plan corresponds to a distribution of target audience across a set of delivery platforms. The system executes the generated proposal plan for a first time period in the flight on one or more delivery platforms. The system re-optimizes the generated proposal plan and controls execution of the generated proposal plan for a second time period in the flight by an in-flight re-distribution of the target audience across one or more delivery platforms of the set of delivery platforms.

Abstract: A method to cancel amplitude modulation noise (contamination) of an input (carrier) signal, including: receiving an input monochromatic signal contaminated with amplitude modulation noise; demodulating the amplitude modulation noise to generate a baseband amplitude modulation noise signal; signal processing the baseband amplitude modulation noise signal to generate an amplitude modulation noise cancelation signal; and amplitude modulating the input signal based on the amplitude modulation noise cancelation signal to generate an output signal, the output signal having less amplitude modulation noise than the input signal. A feedforward implementation can use signal inversion to generate a feedforward amplitude modulation noise cancelation signal. A feedback implementation, implemented with a gain controlled amplifier, can be based on, in a feedback path, demodulating the amplitude noise modulation signal in a feedback gain-controlled input signal to generate a feedback gain control signal.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a means for individuals in random locations, whether or not in motion, to communicate with a wearable wellness monitor or any other device without the need to carry electronic communication equipment, by using a wireless network consisting of short-range nodes distributed throughout a home, clinic or other premises. These nodes provide two-way communication with the individuals using verbal announcements, light signals, audible alarms, voice and word recognition, and hand gestures.

Abstract: Preparatory to a printing run, a printed sample, i.e. proof, is produced on a proofing press using the ink and paper substrate contemplated for the printing run so that the printing quality, ink color, and other such aspects can be studied and, if need be, any adjustments made. In the within improved proofing press, the ink film to be tested is transferred from a driven roller to a similarly driven roller carrying the test paper substrate by a pivotally traversable ink-transfer surface of an elastomeric construction material, such that said driven rollers are each powered in rotation at a selected speed simulating the printing speed of the contemplated printing run, and the extent to which the elastomeric transfer surface is allowed to be compressed permits effective simulation of the contemplated printing run printing pressure. Accordingly, the proof sample of the within proofing press contributes to a more accurate forecast of the printing quality, etc. of the contemplated printing run.
