  • Patent number: 12276088
    Abstract: An agricultural system for detecting failure of a ground-engaging tool of an agricultural implement includes a ground-engaging tool supported on an agricultural implement, with the ground-engaging tool being configured to engage a field during an agricultural operation of the agricultural implement within the field. The system further includes a field profile sensor configured to generate data indicative of a profile of an aft portion of the field located rearward of the ground-engaging tool relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement. Additionally, the system includes a computing system configured to monitor the profile of the aft portion of the field during the agricultural operation based at least in part on the data generated by the field profile sensor and determine that the ground-engaging tool failed based at least in part on the profile of the field.

  • Patent number: 12277246
    Abstract: The system provides a permissions engine derives permissions for responses from artificial intelligence (AI) agents. The permissions are derived based on the access permissions of chunks used to generate the response, and the response is cached for reuse with users meeting the permissions requirements. The system can also derive an access permission level for a user attempting to access the cached result or other content. This can be based on a managed access profile that includes user behavior criteria and device criteria. Likewise, the system can validate and derive sensitivity levels of documents that are ingested for use in AI agents and discriminate between chunks to use in synthesizing results based on the derived permissions of the chunks and their relationship to the user.

  • Patent number: 12279133
    Abstract: A method and device in a node for wireless communications. A first node transmits a first signaling; transmits a first reference signal and a second signal through a first antenna port in a first time-frequency resource set; the first signaling is used to indicate a number of time-frequency resource(s) used for the first reference signal in the first time-frequency resource set; the first reference signal is used to demodulate the second signal; the first antenna port conforms to a first Quasi Co-Located (QCL) relation, and the first QCL relationship is one of Q candidate QCL relationships; the number of time-frequency resource(s) used for the first reference signal in the first time-frequency resource set is used to indicate the first QCL relationship out of the Q candidate QCL relationships, Q being a positive integer greater than 1. The application effectively solves the signaling overhead problem of transmission configuration indication.

  • Patent number: 12277635
    Abstract: A multimodal search system is described. The system can receive image data from a user device. Additionally, the system can receive a prompt associated with the image data. Moreover, the system can determine, using a computer vision model, a first object in the image data that is associated with the prompt. Furthermore, the system can receive, from the user device, a user indication on whether the image data includes the first object. Subsequently, in response to receiving the user indication, the system can generate a response using a large language model.

  • Patent number: 12278770
    Abstract: Techniques for data transmission involve obtaining respective data transmission characteristics of a set of to-be-processed data transmission jobs, the data transmission characteristics of each data transmission job indicating at least one of an expected transmission time and a data size of the data transmission job; determining corresponding weights of the set of data transmission jobs based on the data transmission characteristics of the set of data transmission jobs; and determining a transmission rate of each data transmission job based on the weights and a total transmission rate used for the set of data transmission. Accordingly, different transmission rates may be assigned to different data transmission jobs, thereby increasing a recovery point objective (RPO) completion rate before a failure occurs.

  • Patent number: 12276723
    Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for a continuous-wave (CW) radar system for detecting, geolocating, identifying, discriminating between, and mapping ferrous and non-ferrous metals in brackish and saltwater environments. The CW radar system generates multiple extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves simultaneously and uses said waves to detect, locate, and classify objects of interest. These objects include all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as changing material boundary layers (e.g., soil to water, sand to mud, rock to organic materials, water to air, etc.). The CW radar system is operable to detect objects of interest in near real time.
