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.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for authenticating a chunk of data identified in a query received by a data intake and query system. The data intake and query system receives a query that identifies a set of data and manner for processing the set of data, and identifies a chunk of data that is part of the set of data. The system generates a content identifier, such as a hash, of the chunk of data. The system further authenticates the chunk of data based on the generated content identifier and a content identifier stored by a distributed ledger system.

Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate selection of particular equipment desired to be leased through contract execution are described herein. In one exemplary embodiment, the system includes a server having a database for storing data relating to an aircraft fleet. The stored data includes specific information relating to aircraft in the fleet, as well as terms of existing leases for those aircraft in the fleet then currently leased. The system is accessible to the customer via a network such as a wide area network, e.g., an extranet accessible via the Internet, so that the customer can query the database and identify aircraft the meets specific mission requirements. The system facilitates meeting customer requirements in that a customer can readily select, via the system, multiple aircraft desired for lease without requiring involvement of the marketing executive. Such selections can be made by the customer any time, anywhere, at the customers convenience.

Abstract: A method for programming a lock to accept a key. The device will erase all the codes currently stored in the memory and program a new key value. The process requires several steps of turning the key to one of two positions when an LED is illuminated to indicate that the key must be rotated. After successful responses, all the codes currently stored are cleared and the security code of the new key is stored.
