Abstract: A server of a crop growth stage determination system includes a processor. The processor inputs first images obtained by image capturing crops in a manner such that crop shapes are extractable. The Processor inputs growth stages each indicating a level of physiological growth of the crops for each of the first images. The processor constructs a learned model by performing deep learning to associate images of the crops and growth stages of the crops based on the input first images and the input growth stage. The processor inputs a second image obtained by image capturing crops a growth stage of which is unknown, in a manner such that crop-shapes are extractable. The processor determines the growth stage for the input second image based on the learned model. The processor outputs the determined growth stage.

Abstract: A device for altering molecular bonds in fluids (1) having a substantially tubular housing (2). The substantially tubular housing has a perimeter wall (3), a first end (4), a second end (5), an inner surface (6) and an outer surface (7). Caps (8) are located on the first end and on the second end. One or more geometrically shaped extensions (11) may be located on the caps to allow a user to rotate the caps and/or the entire housing with a wrench. An aperture is located on each cap to allow liquid to pass though into or out of the housing. Threads (10) are located within the apertures to allow a user to install the device for altering molecular bonds in fluids in a fuel line, water line or other liquid conduit. A plurality of magnets (13) are secured within one or more casings (14) that separate and hold the magnets in place within the housing.

Abstract: A system and method for brokering industrial service contracts is described. The system registers customer users and service provider users. Further, customers may enter order data corresponding to a request for industrial service. Service provider users may enter qualification data corresponding to their ability or capacity to take on service contracts. The system implements a matching module based on the customer user-entered order data to generate a ranked list of suitable service provider users. Sequential offers are made to the qualified service providers in ranked order until an offer is accepted.

Abstract: The invention describes a system for capping an abandoned well having production casing and surface casing. The system enables the effective sealing of the production casing volume from the surface casing volume such that any gases leaking from either volume can be independently released from independent valves. The system is particularly effective in improving the safety of re-entering an abandoned well.
