Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for agricultural greenhouse gas estimation. Farm data in the form of at least one of revenue generated by a farm, crop information for one or more crops grown on the farm, and land use/farm practice data for land used on the farm to grow the one or more crops is obtained. An emissions estimate is determined based on the obtained data and caused to be displayed to the user via a graphical user interface. A user may be a person responsible for managing multiple farms. That user may be presented with aggregate emissions-related information for all farms, including projected future emissions under various scenarios, and may also iteratively experiment with different farm data values in order to attempt to reduce projected emissions or increase data quality/emissions estimate accuracy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus that uses an R-tree's vector data as a mechanism for query and retrieval of raster data in conjunction with or instead of the vector data. The invention relates to a method of storing, indexing and retrieving raster data comprising: storing raster data, storing vector data, and indexing said raster data and said vector data with same index information.

Abstract: The present invention meets the above-stated needs by providing a method and apparatus that allows for X parallax information to be stored within an image pixel information. Consequently, only one image need be stored, whether it's a mosaic of a number of images, a single image or a partial image for proper reconstruction. To accomplish this, the present invention stores an X parallax value between the stereoscopic images with the typical pixel information by, e.g., increasing the pixel depth.

Abstract: A system and method by which menus, displays, charts, maps and pictures may be presented to a user and very quickly seen and used in the context of a larger display without obscuring key elements of that display. Menus or other graphical displays are anchored to the sides of a solid figure, which can be rotated to display the menu panels and other textual and graphical information.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for rapid translation of geographic latitude and longitude into any of a number of application-specific location designations or location classifications, including street address, nearest intersection, PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) zone, telephone rate zone, franchise zone, or other geographic, administrative, governmental or commercial division of territory. The speed of translation meets call-setup requirements for call-processing applications such as PSAP determination, and meets caller response expectations for caller queries such as the location of the nearest commercial establishment of a given type.
