Patent number: 11796970Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing a spatial statistical model to maximize efficacy in performing trials on agronomic fields are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a system receives first yield data for a first portion of an agronomic field, the first portion of the agronomic field having received a first treatment, and second yield data, for a second portion of the agronomic field, the second portion of the agronomic field having received a second treatment that is different than the first treatment. The system uses a spatial statistical model and the first yield data to compute a yield value for the second portion of the agronomic field, the yield value indicating an agronomic yield for the second portion of the agronomic field if the second portion of the agronomic field had received the first treatment instead of the second treatment. Based on the computed yield value and the second yield data, the system selects the second treatment.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: CLIMATE LLCInventors: Gardar Johannesson, Maria Terres, Moslem Ladoni, Carlos Carrion, Nicholas Cizek, Brian Lutz, Ricardo Lemos, James Delaney

Patent number: 11647069Abstract: A VPN is established between a client and a remote server. Data is partitioned into a plurality of packets. The packets are encrypted and scheduled for transmission over a cellular and a Wi-Fi connection. Scheduling of the packets is dynamically adjusted. Addresses of the encrypted packets are translated to match network addresses of respective physical interfaces. Packets are transmitted from the client to the server based on the scheduling. A packet that is transmitted on one of the connections and is subsequently lost is subsequently transmitted on the other connection.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: CONNECTIFY, INC.Inventors: Brian Prodoehl, Brian Lutz, Alexander Gizis, David Lewanda
