Patent number: 11937524Abstract: A method includes obtaining, by the treatment system configured to implement a machine learning (ML) algorithm, one or more images of a region of an agricultural environment near the treatment system, wherein the one or more images are captured from the region of a real-world where agricultural target objects are expected to be present, determining one or more parameters for use with the ML algorithm, wherein at least one of the one or more parameters is based on one or more ML models related to identification of an agricultural object, determining a real-world target in the one or more images using the ML algorithm, wherein the ML algorithm is at least partly implemented using the one or more processors of the treatment system, and applying a treatment to the target by selectively activating the treatment mechanism based on a result of the determining the target.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Verdant Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Gabriel Thurston Sibley, Lorenzo Ibarria, Curtis Dale Garner, Patrick Christopher Leger, Dustin James Webb

Patent number: 9058529Abstract: Radio-frequency identification-(RFID)-based systems and methods for collecting telecommunications information is disclosed. The methods include storing transceiver information in a transceiver and connector information in an optical fiber connector, and then operably connecting the connector to the transceiver. The connection results in an electrical connection that allows the transceiver information to be communicated to the connector. The connector has a RFID tag that generates a connector RFID-tag signal that includes the connector information and the transceiver information. When electronics equipment are connected to the transceiver, electronics-equipment information is passed through the transceiver to the connector so that the electronics-equipment information can be included in the connector RFID-tag signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Corning Optical Communications LLCInventors: James G. Renfro, Jr., Richard E. Wagner, Matthew S. Whiting, Dale A. Webb, James S. Sutherland, John D. Downie

Patent number: 8649684Abstract: Optical fiber-based wireless systems and related components and methods are disclosed. The systems support radio frequency (RF) communications with clients over optical fiber, including Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) communications. The systems may be provided as part of an indoor distributed antenna system (IDAS) to provide wireless communication services to clients inside a building or other facility. The communications can be distributed between a head end unit (HEU) that receives carrier signals from one or more service or carrier providers and converts the signals to RoF signals for distribution over optical fibers to end points, which may be remote antenna units (RAUs). A microprocessor-based control system or systems may also be employed.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2011Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Corning Cable Systems LLCInventors: Raymond A. Casterline, Gary L. Coakley, Vladimir M. Cotfas, Eric M. Sadowski, Michael Sauer, Dale A. Webb, Steven C. Kapp, Rajeshkannan Palanisamy, David R. Peters, Michael B. Webb

Patent number: 4068988Abstract: In the embodiment of the invention as depicted, the same comprising a rotary compressor, a channel or passageway is provided in the machine to communicate two variable volume chambers which are formed by rotary pistons and walls of the compressor housing, to equalize pressure in the two chambers. The purpose here is to prevent one chamber from pre-compressing before the other, so that a small pocket formed between the rotors by the inter-engaging teeth will not come up to pressure, and be expanded back into the inlet, to avoid a clearance loss and a waste of horsepower.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1976Date of Patent: January 17, 1978Assignee: Ingersoll-Rand CompanyInventors: Paul Dale Webb, Larry Neil Willover

Patent number: 4050701Abstract: The novel seal comprises a non-contacting, floating ring seal formed, by injection molding, of carbon fiber-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide, for use in fluid-sealing a rotary steel shaft. The reinforced polyphenylene sulfide exhibits thermal expansion which is substantially equal to that of steel; thus a predetermined radial clearance is maintained, between the seal and the shaft without the need for a circumferential steel band, or the like, shrunk onto the seal.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1976Date of Patent: September 27, 1977Assignee: Ingersoll-Rand CompanyInventor: Paul Dale Webb
