Abstract: A computer platform implements a precision agriculture system that predicts output conditions, such as diseases, salt damage, soil problems, water leaks and generic anomalies, for orchards under analysis. The computer platform stores site and crop datasets and processed satellite image for the orchards. An orchard data learned model predicts a propensity for existence of output conditions associated with the permanent crops based on the data values for the variables of the site and crop datasets. Also, a satellite model predicts a propensity for existence of the output conditions at the orchard based on processed satellite images. A precision agriculture management model is disclosed that integrates the orchard data learned model with the satellite model to accurately predict the output conditions.

Abstract: A surgical training model that includes a simulated tissue having a tubular shape that is connected to a tissue holder is provided. A portion of the simulated tissue overhangs the distal end of the tissue holder to simulate a cuff-like entry to the vaginal vault or resected intestine suitable for practicing laparoscopic closure of the vaginal vault, intestine or other organ via suturing or stapling. Two concentric tubular structures are also arranged over the same tissue holder. A second model includes two portions of simulated tissue that are held by two holders such that the simulated tissues are adjacent making the model suitable for practicing different types of anastomosis procedures. A third model includes two holders with a single or double tubular simulated tissue structure connected to and spanning a gap between the holders. The model isolates the step of closing a cylindrical opening for the purpose of repeated practice.

Abstract: A dental device for simultaneous intra-oral and extra oral treatment can include an intra- oral treatment structure configured to treat one or more intra-oral tissues with at least one intra- oral structure treatment. The device can also include an extra-oral treatment structure attached to and extending distally from the intra-oral treatment structure such that at least a portion of the extra-oral treatment structure is configured to be extra-oral in use, wherein the extra-oral treatment structure is configured to treat one or more extra oral structures with at least one extra- oral structure treatment.

Abstract: A portable surgical training device is provided. The trainer includes a top cover spaced apart from a base to form a simulated body cavity for locating model organs that are substantially obscured from the field of view of the user. The top cover includes a video display, fixed insertion ports and interchangeable inserts containing simulated tissue layers. The training device has open sides for demonstrating and training lateral surgical techniques including a simulated or live tissue colon attached to a support leg for simulating transanal minimally invasive surgery. A training endoscope with an adjustable focal length for use with the trainer and, in particular, with optical trocars is disclosed. The surgical trainer can be angled and is well suited for training laparoscopic surgery techniques and demonstrating surgical instruments.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for a wearable audio user interface are described. In accordance with at least one embodiment, the apparatus or article of manufacture comprises a head covering configured to cover an upper portion of a user's head, a transmit audio transducer located in a forehead region of the head covering, and a receive audio transducer located in a temporal region of the head covering. The transmit audio transducer is configured to provide directional response oriented toward a user's mouth to obtain a transmit audio signal. The receive audio transducer is configured to convert a receive audio signal to a form perceptible by a user's ear. As one example, the head covering comprises elasticized knit textile material, and an interface circuit may be located in an occipital region of the head covering and connected to the transmit audio transducer and to the receive audio transducer.
