Publication number: 20220338429Abstract: The technology described herein provides a dual machine irrigation system. The first machine is primarily an irrigation machine and the second machine is primarily a sensor machine, though it may also distribute liquids. The irrigation machine includes an irrigation span and can include multiple irrigation spans. The sensor machine includes a sensor span and can include multiple sensor spans. The sensor span gathers data that is used to optimize the liquid deployment from the irrigation span. In an aspect, both the irrigation span and the sensor span follow the same path of travel through a field, but at different times. The sensor span is separate from the irrigation span and includes a plurality of environmental sensors that gather data on the field, the field environment, and any crops that may be in the field. The ability of the sensor span to provide real-time data allows for optimization of liquid deployments.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2021Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Christopher Charles Roth, Russell Scott Reinke

Patent number: 9335540Abstract: A microelectromechanical (MEMS) device has a movable member supported above a substrate on a via support. The member and via support are fabricated integrally from first and second member forming layers. A first member forming layer forms a lower part of the member and supporting structure for the via support. First and second fill layers are deposited and patterned to form a plug that fills an inner cavity opening in the via structure. The plug is planarized to a planar part of the first member forming layer, and a second member forming layer is deposited over the first member forming layer and the planarized plug to form an upper part of the member. The via support may have a cavity filled by BARC layers.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Lucius Marshall Sherwin, Jose Antonio Martinez, Ronald Charles Roth, Sean Christopher O'Brien
