Abstract: Multiple subterranean probes at an area of land detect soil conditions and wirelessly transmit soil condition information to a service provider's backend server or to a technician's hand-held wireless device. The server provides multiple user interface screens of a customer application that display soil condition information and irrigation system status. Local micro weather stations may determine and wirelessly transmit weather condition information to the server. An energy emission detecting appliance may be used to acquire information usable to determine fluorescence of grass. The determined fluorescence may be used to train a learning model. The learning trained model may use historical soil condition and fluorescence information to determine a stress level corresponding to the grass. The stress level may be used to modify an irrigation or fertilization schedule.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for automatically regulating oxygen output based upon at least one health metric. An oxygen regulation system receives, from at least one device associated with a patient receiving oxygen from an oxygen provision device, a health metric that provides an indication of an oxygen level of the patient. The oxygen regulation system determines, based upon the health metric, an oxygen output of the oxygen provision device needs modified. Responsive to determining the oxygen output needs modified, the oxygen regulation system automatically modulates the oxygen output of the oxygen provision device. Other aspects are described and claimed.
