  • Patent number: 12143424
    Abstract: A system for predictive analysis of very large data sets using a distributed computational graph has been developed. Data receipt software receives streaming data from one or more sources. In a batch data pathway, data formalization software formats input data for storage. A batch event analysis server inspects stored data for trends, situations, or knowledge. Aggregated data is passed to message handler software. System sanity software receives status information from message handler and optimizes system performance. In the streaming pathway, transformation pipeline software manipulates the data stream, provides results back to the system, receives directives from the system sanity and retrain software.

  • Patent number: 12140509
    Abstract: An automated computer-controlled sampling system and related methods for collecting, processing, and analyzing agricultural samples for various chemical properties such as plant available nutrients. The sampling system allows multiple samples to be processed and analyzed for different analytes or chemical properties in a simultaneous concurrent or semi-concurrent manner. Advantageously, the system can process soil samples in the “as collected” condition without drying or grinding. The system generally includes a sample preparation sub-system which receives soil samples collected by a probe collection sub-system and produces a slurry (i.e. mixture of soil, vegetation, and/or manure and water), and a chemical analysis sub-system which processes the prepared slurry samples for quantifying multiple analytes and/or chemical properties of the sample. The sample preparation and chemical analysis sub-systems can be used to analyze soil, vegetation, and/or manure samples.

  • Patent number: 12143235
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically controlling a participant indication request based on a context of a meeting. The controlling of the participant indication request includes automatic lowering of a raised hand. A context determiner determines the context of the meeting based on meeting data including video, audio, background acoustic data, and chat messaging. The context determiner uses a global participant indication model for determining a context that is in commonly used among participants of the meeting. An individual participant indication model captures participant-specific rules of determining a context. A meeting state manager determines a meeting state based on the context. The meeting state includes a host presentation, a participant presentation, a conversation, and a polling. A participant indication controller automatically lowers the raised hand based on a combination of the determined context and the meeting state.
