  • PRECISION FARMING SYSTEM WITH SCALED SOIL CHARACTERISTICS
    Publication number: 20240125758
    Abstract: A method of indicating a characteristic of a soil sample of a field includes measuring a co-factor in the soil sample and using the co-factor to place the soil sample in a soil sample group. The characteristic of the soil sample is measured and then is scaled based on the soil sample group. The scaled measure is displayed to better represent the characteristic of the soil sample relative to soil samples of the sample group.
    Type: Application

  • Minimally invasive implantable neurostimulation system
    Patent number: 11957894
    Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

  • MOISTURE AND ORGANIC MATTER PREDICTION USING NEAR INFRARED LIGHT
    Publication number: 20230393062
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a value for a spectral band identified from a soil sample and inputting the value for the spectral band to a system that predicts a percentage of carbon matter in the soil sample using values of spectral bands. The ability of the system to correctly predict the percentage of carbon matter in the soil sample is improved by further inputting a humidity level to the system wherein the humidity level indicates an amount of ambient moisture present when the value for the spectral band was identified.
