Patent number: 11625798Abstract: Methods and systems for crop management are disclosed. An example method can comprise receiving first information associated with an environmental management zone. The first information can relate to one or more of a land characteristic and a management practice. The first information can comprise a soil type of the environmental management zone. An example method can comprise, receiving historical weather data relating to the environmental management zone. An example method can comprise receiving real-time weather data relating to the environmental management zone. An example method can comprise executing a growth model to predict a nitrogen range for the environmental management zone based on one or more of the first information, the historical weather data, and the real-time weather data.

Patent number: 10581893Abstract: Techniques of preventing sabotage attacks in cyber-physical systems involve automatically identifying links between nodes of a graph representing cyber-physical systems as vulnerable to sabotage attacks according to a vulnerability metric for each link. The vulnerability metric used depends on the particular sabotage attack used to determine the vulnerable links. Once a computer configured to design cyber-physical systems based on vulnerability to sabotage attacks receives data representing the graph, the computer enumerates the possible links between nodes of the graph along which a sabotage attack may be performed. For each of those links, the computer computes the vulnerability metric. The computer then ranks the links according to respective values of the vulnerability metric. Based on the ranking, a designer may then perform a mitigation analysis that results in changes to the graph to reduce the vulnerability at each node accessible to a malicious actor.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignees: Brigham Young University (BYU), Washington State UniversityInventors: Sean Warnick, Sandip Roy

Publication number: 20020161561Abstract: In the context of associations between sets of objects, such as between two categorical data sets, a system and method of performing associations and determining optimizations thereof is presented. Performing various modifications of original object sets, such as by aggregating, refining and permuting the elements of the original object sets yield modified object sets corresponding to the original object sets. Functions and metrics are performed on the object sets, such as by calculating pair association values and overall association values to evaluate the strength or adequacy of an association. A process which iteratively modifies and re-evaluates the resulting associations of modified object sets is described, optionally checking for consistency or convergence of the result, optionally onto an optimum result and optionally checking a stopping criterion for terminating the process.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2002Publication date: October 31, 2002Inventors: Sridevi Sarma, Sean Warnick, Munther A.
