  • Patent number: 10241098
    Abstract: A modeling framework for estimating crop growth and development over the course of an entire growing season generates a continuing profile of crop development from any point prior to and during a growing season until a crop maturity date is reached. The modeling framework applies extended range weather forecasts and remotely-sensed imagery to improve crop growth and development estimation, validation and projection. Output from the profile of crop development profile generates a combination of data for use in auxiliary farm management applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 30, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2019
    Assignee: CLEARAG, INC.

  • Patent number: 9579700
    Abstract: An analytical framework and modeling process for assessing salinity contamination of soil ecosystems in geographical areas related to oil and gas production sites combines detection and monitoring of unplanned saltwater releases from such production activities with soil impact prediction. The analytical framework and modeling process enables an assessment of risks associated with saltwater disposal from drilling operations to the surrounding environment and the impact on soils, aquifers, rangeland, cropland, and adjoining areas by monitoring water movement and other soil conditions, and generating predictive output data for landowners, farmers, oil and gas production site operators, governmental regulators, and other end users for contamination mitigation and agricultural activities.

  • Patent number: 9098654
    Abstract: A pavement condition analysis system and method models a state of a roadway by processing at least traffic and weather data to simulate the impact of traffic and weather conditions on a particular section of a transportation infrastructure. Traffic data is ingested from a plurality of different external sources to incorporate various approaches estimating traffic characteristics such as speed, flow, and incidents, into a road condition model to analyze traffic conditions on the roadway in order to improve road condition assessments and/or prediction.

  • Publication number: 20140195159
    Abstract: A wind energy forecasting system processes data from one or more numerical weather prediction models with power output data from a wind energy facility using artificial intelligence. This artificial intelligence is applied in one or more neural networks that produce specific power output forecasts for each numerical weather prediction model. A statistical ensembling approach is then applied to the resulting numerical weather prediction model forecasts and integrated with a persistence power output forecast to arrive at a consensus, overall forecasted power output for the wind energy facility.
