  • 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: 6540105
    Abstract: A liquid dispenser is provided for dispensing a desired amount of liquid from a bottle, without leakage or dripping. The bottle is mounted in a fixture attached to a wall. The bottle includes an inlet and an outlet, with one-way valves operatively sealed in the inlet and outlet ports. A foam-filled foot pump is operatively connected to the inlet valve for the inlet port, such that air may be pumped into the bottle to pressurize the contents thereof. Upon pressurization, the liquid is forced through the outlet valve in the outlet port. An air filter is provided for the pump, so as to preclude contamination of liquid in the bottle. Excess pressure is released through a relief valve to preclude over-dosing of liquid from the bottle.
