Publication number: 20190174738Abstract: A framework for validating resistance traits in seed varieties in planted crops and monitoring crop treatments applied in planted fields ensures that an herbicide is not used on a non herbicide-resistant crop. A user provides a recommendation for a selected herbicide, and the framework performs seed trait analytics by gathering seed variety information in planting data and seed resistance traits in the planted seed variety, as well as active ingredients and any specific amounts thereof in the selected herbicide. If the seed variety is resistant to the proposed herbicide, the verification framework outputs a recommendation to proceed with the application. If the seed variety is not resistant to the proposed herbicide, then the verification framework outputs a warning to the user of a risk with proceeding with the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2018Publication date: June 13, 2019Inventors: AARON DALE HUNT, PETER H. BRANDT, NISHAN MAJARIAN, SPYROS J. LAZARIS

Patent number: 10275731Abstract: A multi-year yield analysis in precision agriculture characterizes variables affecting crop yield to enable site-specific prescription mapping for a bounded field. Remotely-sensed imagery of the bounded field is incorporated as a replacement for, or in addition to, one or more of coverage data, uniformity data, age data, and weather data that comprise variables in the multi-year yield analysis. The multi-year yield analysis enables recommendations for variable-rate applications to the bounded field such as seeding, fertilizing, and applying crop treatments.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: AGRIAN, INC.Inventor: Aaron Dale Hunt

Patent number: 9563848Abstract: A multi-year yield analysis in precision agriculture characterizes variables affecting crop yield to enable site-specific prescription mapping for a bounded field for one or more crops in the field. The multi-year yield analysis enables recommendations for variable-rate applications to the bounded field such as seeding, fertilizing, tilling, and applying crop treatments. The multi-year yield analysis evaluates each of coverage data, uniformity data, age data, and weather data related to crop yield in the bounded field.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2016Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: AGRIAN, INC.Inventor: Aaron Dale Hunt

Patent number: 9277092Abstract: A configurable document server is described. In some embodiments, the configurable document server can enable administrators to set an option that prevents documents from being routed to users when the configurable document server experiences some types of errors. When the configurable document server determines that such an error condition exists, it may prevent the routing of the corresponding document. By preventing documents causing errors from being routed, the configurable document server enables administrators to improve the accuracy of document workflow and thereby improve productivity of users.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Open Text S.A.Inventors: Jason K. Webster, Michael Riedel, Byron Dale Hunt, Jr., Treber Rebert, Jonathan Isabelle, William Robert Harman

Patent number: 9177454Abstract: A hard cover product with a pair of cover boards attached to an outer liner in spaced-relation to define a spine, with a thin-film ink-circuit security device printed on a laydown area, and having an inner liner. The laydown area can be defined in the spine, and the inner liner or an inner body attached to the cover boards conceals the printed security device from casual observation of its presence. The laydown area can be defined on a surface of a sheet laminated to another sheet to define one of cover boards. The laminated sheets sandwich the printed security device without a surface indication of the presence of the ink-circuit printed security device therein. In another aspect, the thin-film ink-circuit security device printed on a surface of the cover board is concealingly covered by the inner or the outer liner.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2014Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: SmartGuard, LLCInventor: Dale Hunt Nichols, Sr.

Patent number: 8924152Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring system and operational parameters on one or more pieces of machinery or equipment. The system can monitor the pieces of machinery or equipment in real time, i.e., the time delay between the taking of a measurement on a piece of equipment and its subsequent display in the system is within accepted standards, e.g., from about 1 second to about 1 minute depending on the type of measurement or data set being monitored. The system can also permit the tracking of the pieces of machinery or equipment and can enable the transfer, i.e., the sending and/or receiving, of information between the system and the pieces of machinery or equipment.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2011Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: AgJunction LLCInventors: Aaron Dale Hunt, Jeffrey Allen Dearborn

Patent number: 8897973Abstract: A system and method for managing the collection and processing of agricultural field data from a single location is provided. The system includes functionality to create workorders for the taking of samples at a predetermined location, transmit the sampling workorders to the equipment or operators at a job site, e.g., an agricultural field, and log the results of a completed sampling workorder. The system also includes functionality to transmit log data related to the taken samples to a laboratory and receive analysis information on the taken samples from the laboratory. The system then combines log data and analysis information on the taken samples for use in determining additional actions at the predetermined location.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: AgJunction LLCInventors: Aaron Dale Hunt, Jeffrey Allen Dearborn
