Abstract: According to some aspects of the present invention a system for controlling thinning of plant reproductive structures (e.g., fruits and/or bloom) includes a processing unit; and a non-transitory media readable by the processing unit. The media storing instructions that when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to generate a thinning policy based on analysis of data that may include one or more of the following: strains/cultivars, geographical area, topographic, soil, farming practice, climate, season, target market preferences, and trade. The thinning policy may include the determination of a desired reproductive structures density which may mean the rate (percent) of flowers/fruits to be removed and the distance between flowers/fruits. Typically, the density is related to the location of fruits/flowers. It can be spatial, linear, tree average, branch average, or average per unit length. The thinning policy may be determined according to strains/cultivars and geographic.

Abstract: A system for protecting a brand-name of a brand-owner. The system collects content of websites, and domain-name data related to such websites. The system analyzes the content of such websites and their domain-name data, and generates: a relevance score indicating the relevance of the website and the domain to the protected brand-name; a popularity score indicating the relative popularity of the website; an investment score indicating the estimated investment of monetary resources or website development resources in that website; and a damage score indicating an estimated damage that the website inflicts on the protected brand-name. Based on the type of website, being a stand-alone website or a listing on a marketplace or a social media item, the system selects a particular weighted formula to apply on these four score values, and generates a combined weighted brand-abuse score; which in turn is utilized to determine brand-abuse and to trigger or to select brand-abuse mitigation operations.

Abstract: A computerized method of protecting a brand name of a brand owner, includes: (a) crawling a global communication network to identify and collect data about web-sites that possibly abuse the brand name; (b) for each web-site that possibly abuses the brand name, analyzing whether or not the web-site abuses the brand name by analyzing at least one of: (i) content of the web-site; and (ii) data about an owner of the web-site. The method further includes: for each web-site that possibly abuses the brand name, (A) generating an investment score indicating an estimated level of investment that was invested in development of the web-site; and (B) generating a damage score indicating a level of damage that the web-site is estimated to produce to the brand name.
