Abstract: Real-world data may not be sparse in a fixed basis, and current high-performance recovery algorithms are slow to converge, which limits compressive sensing (CS) to either non-real-time applications or scenarios where massive back-end computing is available. Presented herein are embodiments for improving CS by developing a new signal recovery framework that uses a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to learn the inverse transformation from measurement signals. When trained on a set of representative images, the network learns both a representation for the signals and an inverse map approximating a greedy or convex recovery algorithm. Implementations on real data indicate that some embodiments closely approximate the solution produced by state-of-the-art CS recovery algorithms, yet are hundreds of times faster in run time.

Abstract: An improved irrigation spray head for use with pressurized water to produce a generally 360° spray pattern is provided. The spray head has a first channel that provides a water flow path in a generally vertical direction from the distal end of the spray head body to a main exit port. The spray head body includes a cavity having a geometry that, along with the first channel and the main exit port designs, causes the pressurized water to disperse radially outward away from the spray head body in the generally 360° spray pattern. A plurality of secondary channels provides secondary water flow paths from a plurality of interior ports in the cavity to a plurality of sidewall exit ports. The secondary channels result in a water flow out of the sidewall ports at a reduced water velocity thereby providing enhanced, close-in irrigation coverage.
