  • Publication number: 20240127367
    Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

  • Patent number: 10187420
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for local applications and local application distribution. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, an application authority system can receive a local application for distribution to a local router. The application authority system can perform an application approval process to approve the local application for distribution to the local router. The application authority system can cause the local application to be distributed to the local router. The local router can receive the local application and can distribute the local application to one or more devices via a local network.

  • Patent number: 10061510
    Abstract: A computer keyboard includes position sensors such as capacitive sensors on each of the keys for monitoring positions of fingertips on the keys. A processor receives an indication of contact of a finger on a surface of a key, including an identity of the key and an indication of a position of the contact on the surface. The processor also receives an indication of a motion gesture comprising displacement of the position of the contact on the surface of the key. Using the identity of the key and the indication of the motion gesture, an input from a human operator is determined.
