  • Patent number: 11497156
    Abstract: A memory embodies instructions, and a processor is coupled to the memory and is operative by the instructions to facilitate: accessing a source of information regarding farm cultivation techniques; constructing a cultivation knowledge graph by parsing the source of information regarding farm cultivation techniques, using natural language processing; identifying cultivation quality assessment factors by applying machine learning to the cultivation knowledge graph; estimating quality of a farm cultivation task by comparing a stream of real-time data to the cultivation quality assessment factors, wherein the stream of real-time data is related to performance of the farm cultivation task; identifying from the stream of real-time data, using the cultivation knowledge graph, a controllable variable that affects the quality of the farm cultivation task; and improving the quality of the farm cultivation task by facilitating a change in the controllable variable.

  • Patent number: 10652324
    Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods for efficient arrangement, use, and management of networked electronic devices. The networked electronic devices are configured to form a peer-to-peer network, and to allocate management, download, and aggregation responsibilities among themselves to improve efficiency. Networking errors are minimized by replacing faulting nodes with idle nodes.
