Abstract: A method for producing seed corn from the corn plants, for use in growing subsequent corn plants, includes measuring a moisture content of corn kernels on ears of the corn plants in the field and removing, by a combine harvester, the ears of corn from the corn plants when the moisture content satisfies a threshold moisture content. The method then includes separating the corn kernels from cobs of the ears of corn onboard the combine harvester and collecting the separated corn kernels for use as seed corn, whereby one or more subsequent corn plants can be grown from the collected corn kernels.

Abstract: A suspension arm assembly including at least three horizontally aligned members relatively rotatable about each other. Each adjacent pair of members are connected to each other by a joint. At least one conduit extends along the at least three horizontally aligned members, with the at least one conduit being routed horizontally along the horizontally aligned members and not being located within a periphery of the at least three horizontally aligned members.

Abstract: A system for interfacing with a decisioning service from a third-party domain. A backend system may receive a request to interface with the decisioning service to generate a prequalification result for a user for a specified product, in response to the actuation of a button included in a third-party web domain rendering a product. The backend system may execute a call on a website of the decisioning service. The backend system may receive the product information from the button. The backend system may generate the website within the third-party domain, including a request for information about the user, in response to executing the call to the website. The backend system may transmit a request for generating prequalification result for the product to the decisioning service. The backend system may receive the prequalification result from the decisioning service.
