  • Publication number: 20250187026
    Abstract: A fluid dispersion system for agricultural sprayers may include a first axial fan within a first housing and a second axial fan within a second housing for driving air toward a dispersion chamber. The diameter of the first axial fan and housing may be less than the diameter of the second axial fan and housing such that, during operation, air is forced through the first housing and the second housing while air is also entrained around the first housing into the second housing. The configuration of the axial fans and housings creates turbulence within the dispersion chamber to amplify the dispersion of fluid dispensed within the dispersion chamber by one or more fluid nozzles. One or more air baffles may be disposed within the dispersion chamber to amplify air turbulence within the dispersion chamber.

  • Patent number: 12265525
    Abstract: A query coordinator can receive a query and identify a first portion of the query to be processed by a first data processing system and a second portion of the query to be processed by a second data processing system. The query coordinator can obtain a modified query based on identifying the first portion and the second portion of the query. The query coordinator can define a query processing scheme according to the modified query and provide the query processing scheme to the second data processing system. Based on providing the query processing scheme, the query coordinator can obtain an output of the second data processing system. The query coordinator can identify a second query based on the output and provide the second query to a component of the first data processing system.

  • Publication number: 20250028720
    Abstract: A query coordinator can receive and parse a query. Based on parsing the query, the query coordinator can identify one or more components of a first data processing system to obtain and process data according to the query. The query coordinator can define a query processing scheme based on identifying the one or more components and provide the query processing scheme to a second data processing system. Based on providing the query processing scheme, the query coordinator can obtain an output of the second data processing system. The query coordinator can identify a second query based on the output and provide the second query to the one or more components.

  • Publication number: 20250028714
    Abstract: A query coordinator can receive a query. The query coordinator can determine one or more data semantics of a first data processing system. The data semantics of the first data processing system may be based on execution of one or more queries by the first data processing system. The query coordinator can define a query processing scheme for obtaining and processing data based on the query. The query processing scheme may include instructions for a second data processing system to execute at least a portion of the query according to the data semantics of the first data processing system. The query coordinator can provide the query processing scheme to the second data processing system and obtain query results from the second data processing system.

  • Publication number: 20250028698
    Abstract: A data intake and query system can manage the search of data stored at an external location relative to the data intake and query system using one or more indexers. The data intake and query system can receive data stored at the external location. The data intake and query system can process the data and generate an index using the one or more indexers. The data intake and query system can discard the data and store the index and a location identifier of the external location in one or more buckets. In response to a query, the data intake and query system can identify that at least a subset of the data is responsive to the query using the index and can obtain the at least the subset of the data from the external location using the location identifier.

  • Publication number: 20240281750
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided. The computer-implemented method includes obtaining, by way of a scanning device coupled to a computing system, an identifier of a container, where the container is associated with a transportation number. The computer-implemented method also includes obtaining, by way of the scanning device, a weight based on that of the container as determined by a scale. The computer-implemented method additionally includes printing, by a printing device coupled to the computing system, a placard encoding the identifier, the transportation number, and the weight. The computer-implemented method further includes storing, in a database associated with the computing system, an entry associating the identifier, the transportation number, and the weight.

  • Patent number: 12020729
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for displaying a sequence of video items on an electronic device. During playback of a current video item, a dismissal input such as a swipe or tap/click is received via a user input mechanism, indicating that display of the current video item is to be ceased and that display of the next video item in the sequence is to be commenced. In response to the dismissal input, summary information is displayed on the display screen, providing non-video communication of an informational payload of the current video item. A timer is started at the commencement of display of the summary information, at the expiry of which display of the next video item is to be commenced. In response to a resumption input such as a touchscreen tap or cursor click on the summary information before expiry of the timer, playback of the current video item is resumed via the display screen.

  • Patent number: 11756585
    Abstract: A system is provided that presents video content on an electronic device such that, when a user swipes to dismiss the video content, non-video summary information or contextual material about the video content is automatically displayed in place of the video content. The non-video summary information is presented on a summary card dragged on-screen responsive to user swipe input. If, for example, the user swipes to dismiss a video advertisement before an informational payload of the video advertisement has been delivered, the informational payload can automatically be displayed in text format on a summary card dragged by the user in replacement of the dismissed video advertisement.

  • Publication number: 20230010326
    Abstract: A grounded and modular fall-impact protection airbag system designed to absorb the kinetic energy of objects or persons falling from high elevations in such a manner that concurrently cushions impact while minimizing the transfer of elastic potential energy that can result in a rebound event. In this manner, the potential for damage or injury is minimized in both the impact and rebound kinetic energy transfer events. In contrast to existing grounded fall-protection airbag systems that require continuous airflow from pneumatic devices to maintain optimal pressure before and after impact, this system provides the to use air pressure release valves that are actuated upon impact and release air pressure at a rate that safely decelerates the object or individual without a rebound effect. This allows for the system to be pressurized once per use, thus decreasing energy requirements and operational costs, improving system reliability, and increasing overall safety to the site.

  • Publication number: 20220394421
    Abstract: An engagement tracking system monitors user interactions with media items to calculate an engagement score of the media item. The engagement tracking system may be or include a group of one or more server machines configured to detect an exposure of a client device to a media item maintained by the engagement tracking system. In response to detecting the exposure of the client device to the media item, the engagement tracking system tracks a location of the client device based on access requests to location based media items. The engagement tracking system may thereby monitor client devices exposed to the media item in order to calculate an engagement score of the media item.
