Abstract: A method for implementing end-of-row (EOR) turns within a field may include receiving a selection of a selected EOR turn path type of a plurality of EOR turn path types associated with executing EOR turns within the field. The method may further include controlling an operation of the agricultural vehicle to traverse a first path extending across the field during the performance of an agricultural operation. Moreover, the method may include generating an EOR turn path based on the selected EOR turn path type for making an EOR turn between an end point of the first path and a start point of a second path extending across the work area, the EOR turn path being associated with a speed profile. Additionally, the method may include automatically controlling a speed system of the agricultural vehicle to execute the speed profile as the agricultural vehicle moves along the EOR turn path.

Abstract: A biological sample is analyzed for presence of a causing agent such as a virus, bacteria or cancer which generates a series of different states in the sample. The sample is separated into sub-samples where at least some of the sub-samples include portions of the sample at different states. Electromagnetic radiation interacts with the samples to obtain a spectrum of sub-sample properties which is compared with a plurality of reference spectra obtained from testing a plurality of sub-samples in respective ones of the different states to calculate a population distribution of the states of the sub-samples to obtain information about the causing agent. The population distribution can be analyzed at a single time or temporally over time to generate data relating to an effect of the causing agent. The population distribution is compared with a plurality of reference population distributions to generate data identifying the causing agent.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining characteristics of fluids are described. A method involves illuminating a portion of a fluid by emitting light having an emission spectrum spanning at least from an infrared band to an ultraviolet band, and producing an output signal by receiving the light upon being scattered by the fluid using an optical detector.

Abstract: When a received message is found to be corrupted in 5G or 6G, the receiver can request a retransmission. If only one message element is faulted, retransmitting the whole message may be a waste. Procedures are disclosed for the receiver to determine which message elements are likely faulted by measuring the modulation quality and optionally other signal quality factors. The receiver can then indicate, in an acknowledgement for example, which portion of the message needs to be retransmitted. After receiving that retransmitted portion, the receiver can then produce a merged version by substituting the retransmitted portion into the as-received message. Alternatively, the receiver can select the best-quality elements from the two versions for the merged copy, and thereby eliminate most or all of the faults. Networks supporting these protocols may have fewer delays, faster responses, improved reliability, and reduced resource usage by avoiding unnecessary retransmission volumes.
