Publication number: 20230413715Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for determining optimized tillage of a soil area are provided. Operations include transmitting, using at least one sensor, a data set regarding a physical, chemical and/or biological aspect of the soil area. Operations include receiving, using at least one computing device, the data set regarding the physical, chemical and/or biological aspect of the soil area. The at least one computing device removes a set of redundant data and the at least one computing device enhances a set of data that is not the set of redundant data. Operations include generating a visualization of the set of data that is not redundant data. The data that is not redundant data provides a data set reflecting a soil compaction measurement within the soil area and the soil area is not deeper than 36 inches from a surface of the soil area.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: GroundTruth Ag, Inc.Inventors: John Richard Anderson, JR., Graham Hunter Bowers, Jacob Samuel Lasky, Christopher Casey Nobblitt

Publication number: 20190245457Abstract: An improved AC power supply is described. The supply identifies the load through monitoring the current and voltage wave forms and phase relations with the AC Mains. The comparison is done in conditions where the power to the load is programmably varied through use of a control switch located in the line and neutral between the AC mains and the load. The program of controlling the switch is varied to optimize the ability to distinguish similar load types. The switch can be further used to control power to the load that varies according to a set of rules based upon the identity of the load. In a preferred embodiment, the design enables high efficiency with minimal components that may be fully integrated onto silicon.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2017Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Mark Telefus, Harry Rodriguez, Christopher Casey, Thar Casey

Patent number: 8478442Abstract: A robot obstacle detection system including a robot housing which navigates with respect to a surface and a sensor subsystem aimed at the surface for detecting the surface. The sensor subsystem includes an emitter which emits a signal having a field of emission and a photon detector having a field of view which intersects the field of emission at a region. The subsystem detects the presence of an object proximate the mobile robot and determines a value of a signal corresponding to the object. It compares the value to a predetermined value, moves the mobile robot in response to the comparison, and updates the predetermined value upon the occurrence of an event.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2008Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: iRobot CorporationInventors: Christopher Casey, Matthew Cross, Daniel Ozick, Joseph L.
