  • Publication number: 20240100311
    Abstract: Methods and devices to affect types, proportion, quantity, distribution, or proliferation of microorganisms within a female reproductive system.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20240046479
    Abstract: A farming machine moves through a field and includes an image sensor that captures an image of a plant in the field. A control system accesses the captured image and applies the image to a machine learned plant identification model. The plant identification model identifies pixels representing the plant and categorizes the plant into a plant group (e.g., plant species). The identified pixels are labeled as the plant group and a location of the pixels is determined. The control system actuates a treatment mechanism based on the identified plant group and location. Additionally, the images from the image sensor and the plant identification model may be used to generate a plant identification map. The plant identification map is a map of the field that indicates the locations of the plant groups identified by the plant identification model.

  • Publication number: 20220287624
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are described herein that enable and make assessments related to pregnancy, including assessments related to a labor-related status such as the onset of true labor. In some embodiments, a pregnancy monitoring system comprises a portable, noninvasive data acquisition device adhered to a patient's skin, comprising at least two electrodes to measure uterine electrical activity, signal processing means, data storage means, and a battery. Systems for notification of the labor-related status are described.
