Publication number: 20240127367Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: David Patrick Perry, Geoffrey Albert von Maltzahn, Robert Berendes, Eric Michael Jeck, Barry Loyd Knight, Rachel Ariel Raymond, Ponsi Trivisvavet, Justin Y H Wong, Neal Hitesh Rajdev, Marc-Cedric Joseph Meunier, Casey James Leist, Pranav Ram Tadi, Andrea Lee Flaherty, Charles David Brummitt, Naveen Neil Sinha, Jordan Lambert, Jonathan Hennek, Carlos Becco, Mark Allen, Daniel Bachner, Fernando Derossi, Ewan Lamont, Rob Lowenthal, Dan Creagh, Steve Abramson, Ben Allen, Jyoti Shankar, Chris Moscardini, Jeremy Crane, David Weisman, Gerard Keating, Lauren Moores, William Pate

Patent number: 10948888Abstract: Performing automated building control in a building. A method includes identifying a target maximum polling time defining an amount of time in which all building devices in a plurality of devices should be polled. Each of the devices in the plurality of devices is identified. For each device in the plurality of devices, queries are sent to the device. For each device in the plurality of devices, responses are received from the device. Based on the queries and the responses, a functional query frequency range is determined identifying a range of query frequencies at which queries can be made to each device such that each device functions within a predetermined criteria. Based on the target maximum polling time and the functional query frequency ranges, a device polling scheme is identified. The devices in the plurality of devices are polled according to the identified polling scheme.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Spyros Steven Sakellariadis, Chris Neil Segura, Trevor Anton Sodorff

Patent number: 10282497Abstract: A method for estimating the wear of a drilling tool is disclosed. The method includes selecting a first incremental distance along a length of a formation. The method further includes determining a first characteristic of the formation along the first incremental distance. The method further includes deriving a first fractional wear factor, y1, for the drilling tool based on the first characteristic of the formation and a first operating condition of the cutting element. The method further includes calculating a first wear function, Wf1, the cutting element based on the first fractional wear factor and estimating an amount of wear of the cutting element during a drilling operation based on the first wear function.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Robello Samuel, Chris Neil Marland, Zhengchun Liu, Dong Li

Patent number: 7539591Abstract: Test data model and test data structure creation improvements are disclosed for enterprise test data management systems in the test, measurement and automation environment. A hierarchical test data model for a plurality of test systems includes hierarchical data objects configured to store test data related information. In addition, one or more data objects within the test data model are linked such that data entered into one object can be used by another object or can be automatically propagated to linked objects. And default data object properties are defined such that each new data object includes the default properties. Still further, a graphical user interface (GUI) can be provided through which information can be input to the database where the GUI includes a first frame showing a structure for the hierarchical test data model and a second frame automatically showing one or more data input fields related to an object selected within the first frame. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2005Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: VI Technology, Inc.Inventors: Richard W. House, Cesar R.

Publication number: 20050246390Abstract: Test data model and test data structure creation improvements are disclosed for enterprise test data management systems in the test, measurement and automation environment. In part, an enterprise test data management system is disclosed that utilizes a test data structure creation tool configured to operate on one or more server systems to automatically generate test data structures for the database. In addition, the test data management system can utilize a run-time tool that is configured to analyze test data received from a test system, to determine if fields for the data exist in the database, and if not, to automatically generate the fields for the data in the database. The test data management system can also utilize a data import tool that is configured to analyze historical test data files, to map data within the historical data files to fields within the database, and to automatically generate new fields for the data in the database. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2005Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventors: Richard House, Cesar Gamez, Chris Neil, Chandrasekhar Venkatraman

Patent number: 6245958Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for non-incendiary disposal of rockets, projectiles, missiles and similar devices and parts thereof. The method and apparatus employs a series of steps whereby a rocket is sheared into sections where the sections or pieces are then directed to baskets which hold the pieces and which baskets are transferred through a hydrolyzing solution and remain in the hydrolyzing solution for a sufficient period to enable decontamination of both the rocket parts as well as propellant to residual agents. The process involves pushing the basket along an output channel where various parts are transferred to the basket through controlled blast doors. In other instances, such explosive devices such as bursters are handled in a similar manner by exposing the bursting agents to caustic baths while controlling the rate of caustic flow to assure decontamination of all such parts.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1997Date of Patent: June 12, 2001Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Robert S.
