Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and the therapeutic uses of the compounds. Compounds provided are of formula where X1; X2; R1 and R4 are as defined herein.

Abstract: An online agricultural system manages and optimizes interactions of entities within the system to enable the execution of transaction and the transportation of crop products. The online agricultural system accesses historic and environmental data describing factors that may impact crop product transactions and/or transportation to determine market prices for crop products and crop product transportation. Responsive to receiving a request from an entity, the online agricultural system determines an optimal transaction for the entity, such as a price for selling a crop product, an available crop product for purchase, or a transportation opportunity to transport a crop product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for self application of substances to a body. The device, and use thereof, functions to facilitate the application of any type of lotion, cream, ointment, oil or medication. The device achieves complete and efficient coverage of all types of substances to the hard to reach areas of the body, including the back, shoulders, legs and feet.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a fishing head and a steel boot of a downhole receiver tool. In certain embodiments, the fishing head may include multiple body portions that include a channel to hold a cable of a downhole tool and a recess that is formed at the interface of the body portions. The body portions may be coupled via one or more pins that are fitted into the recess. In certain embodiments, a collar may be positioned on an exterior portion of the body portions of the fishing head to further secure the components. In certain embodiments, the collar may be coupled to the body portions of the fishing head via a biasing member such as a spring pin or other suitable coupling components.

Abstract: A tensile load link for interlocking a minimum of two lines, guiding said at least two lines along an inner facing and outer facing of said link respectively, wherein said link is provided with at least one transducer for measuring a tensile force in at least one of said lines and/or in said link.

Abstract: A system for generating energy from a confined space that includes heated air therein. The system includes a turbine operatively associated with at least one generator of electricity; and a funnel having an inner channel that is open and unobstructed from a larger bottom opening to a smaller top opening which is in air flow communication with the turbine. The inner channel is configured for accelerating heated air rising through the channel prior to exiting the top opening and entering the turbine. No additional energy is needed, such as the use of a fan or propeller, for this acceleration. The accelerated heated air more effectively drives the turbine without requiring additional energy to provide increased amounts of generated electricity and to do so more efficiently compared to turbine systems that do not contain a funnel and fan or propeller.

Abstract: A snow shovel blade is provided. The snow shovel blade is a stamped metal body with a generally planar portion, a curved portion, and two opposed lateral, depending sidewalls. The sidewalls are supporting sidewalls.

Abstract: A utility cart frame assembly is provided. The frame assembly includes a handle assembly cross brace member and a wheel assembly with an axle. The cross brace member and the axle are coupled to, and are immediately adjacent, the tray. In this configuration, the handle assembly cross brace member and the axle provide support to the tray.

Abstract: The invention describes a vibrating tine level detection device, and a method of forming the same, which is particularly suitable for operation in environments subject to rapid temperature change. A piezoelectric stack, which generates vibration of the tine, is located within a cage. The cage is, in turn, located within a hollow body defined by a diaphragm, from which the tines extend, and a wall section. The cage is attached to the inside surface of the wall section, adjacent to the junction between the wall section and the diaphragm. As a consequence, the ability of the cage to maintain a substantially constant compression on the piezoelectric stack is substantially unaffected by thermal expansion or contraction of the wall section.

Abstract: This invention provides a post hole digger having a first, traverse pivot point, located on the lower section of two handle members, and a second, blade assembly pivot point located at the medial point of the blade assemblies. Because the first pivot point is a traverse pivot point, the handle members are only required to travel through a limited range of motion. Additionally, the second, blade assembly pivot point is preferably an offset pivot point. Thus, because the second, blade assembly pivot point is disposed at a medial point of the blade assemblies, the motion of the handle members, which are coupled to the upper ends of the blade assemblies, is reversed relative to the lower ends of the blade members.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wheelbarrow having a collapsible frame assembly. The wheelbarrow also includes a hopper and a wheel. The frame assembly includes a wheel brace assembly, a first adjustable leg assembly, a second adjustable leg assembly, a first handle member and a second handle member. The wheel brace assembly is narrow relative to the hopper. The first adjustable leg assembly and the second adjustable leg assembly are pivotally coupled to the wheel brace assembly. The first and second leg assemblies are each structured to move between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the first and second leg assemblies are structured to be closer to the centerline of the wheelbarrow, and/or frame assembly, so that the width of the legs/brace sub-assembly is relatively narrow.

Abstract: A wheelbarrow includes three wheels so that it may be pushed without being lifted, thereby minimizing the potential for operator injuries due to lifting the wheelbarrow. A braking mechanism including a lever having one end for engaging a user's hand or foot, and another end for engaging a sprocket secured to one of the wheels, may be used to resist movement of the wheelbarrow when such movement is not desired.
