  • Publication number: 20230028107
    Abstract: A monitoring system for an agricultural sprayer includes spray nozzles, spray monitoring sensors, electromagnetic sensors, and control circuitry in electronic communication with the electromagnetic sensors. Each spray nozzle is configured to spray a fluid. Each spray monitoring sensor is disposed adjacent to a corresponding one of the spray nozzles and is configured to measure a spray parameter of that spray nozzle. The electromagnetic sensors are configured to generate signals when the electromagnetic sensors sense a magnetic field. Each electromagnetic sensor is disposed adjacent to and each of is representative of one of the spray monitoring sensors. The control circuitry is configured to receive the signals from the electromagnetic sensors in a received signal order and assign physical locations to the spray monitoring sensors based on the sequential communication order and a predetermined sequential order. Related methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20020129054
    Abstract: A system and method for providing network-based functionality to a spreadsheet includes, the client side, a personal computer application which is augmented with network-enabling software that provides users with new network-based functionality that can be accessed within the personal computer application. The network-enabling software of the present invention enables users to generate and modify spreadsheets by embedding network-enabling objects that can launch and make use of network-based functionality from within the personal computer application. The invention further includes remote server support for the network-enabling software that augments the personal computer application, and as well as support for the resulting spreadsheet.

  • Publication number: 20020065849
    Abstract: A system and method for providing network-based functionality to a word processing document includes, on the client side, a productivity application which is augmented with network-enabling software that provides users with new network-based functionality, which may be accessed within the productivity application. The network-enabling software of the present invention enables users to generate and modify word processing documents by embedding network-enabling objects that can launch and make use of network-based functionality from within the productivity application. The invention further includes remote server support for the network-enabling software that augments the personal computer application, and as well as providing support for the resulting word processing document. Network-based content may be placed, for example, in a table, at a specific insertion point or within an embedded portion of another document type within a word processing document.
