  • Publication number: 20230368525
    Abstract: A crop scanning system for determining a parameter associated with a plurality of harvestable items of a crop, the harvestable items being beneath a ground surface, the crop scanning system including: a scanning head assembly including at least one scanning device configured to perform a scanning operation in relation to the harvestable items, the scanning device being configured to emit a ground penetrating radar signal or pulse and to generate scan data including a representation of the harvestable items; an imaging system configured to capture an image of a part of the crop which is above the ground surface and to generate image data including a representation of one or more stems associated with the harvestable items; and an analysis system configured to use the scan data and the image data to determine the parameter associated with the harvestable items, wherein the at least one parameter includes a predicted size of the harvestable items.

  • Patent number: 11533843
    Abstract: A harvester monitoring system configured to determine one or more parameters associated with harvested items, the system comprising: a camera module having a field of view and configured to generate image data associated with the harvested items; a mounting bracket configured to secure the camera module to a harvester such that a conveyor of the harvester is within the field of view of the camera module; a location sub-system configured to determine and output location data representative of a geographical location of the harvester monitoring system; and a processing unit configured to receive the image data and the location data, to determine one or more parameters associated with the harvested items, and to record the one or more parameters in association with the location data on a computer readable medium.

  • Patent number: 10722048
    Abstract: An infant support pillow for supporting an infant or small child in a lying or seated position comprising a pillow shell and a resilient fill material that defines a recessed center portion surrounded partially or fully by a raised perimeter portion. The pillow shell can comprise various features, including fabric types, attachments, appliqués and stitching, configured to represent an object or character. The recessed center portion and the raised peripheral portion are configured such that the infant is comfortably and stably supported at an incline.
