Abstract: The Agriculture Detection Protection System (ADPS) emerges as a revolutionary guardian for crop and livestock protection. Integrating LIDAR, radar, cameras, and sound systems with advanced drones, the ADPS not only surveils but intelligently interacts with its environment, using AI to analyze crop health and deploy various deterrents against wildlife threats. These drones, equipped with dispensers for precise agricultural interventions and visual deterrents, adapt to ever-changing field conditions. By combining real-time monitoring with eco-friendly practices, the ADPS offers a comprehensive, adaptive solution to safeguard agricultural fields, striking a delicate balance between technological innovation and environmental stewardship.

Abstract: In a freight shipment system and method, the lift trucks used by the freight carrier for handling and loading freight shipments are equipped with a weighing device capable of weighing each piece of freight handled by the lift truck. The lift truck operator also has a scanner for scanning coded identification information associated with each piece of freight. As each piece of freight is handled by the lift truck, the coded identification information for that piece of freight is captured along with the weight of the load. This information is transmitted to a computer system where it can be used for real-time invoicing. The system can also obtain dimensional information about the volume of the piece of freight.
