Publication number: 20240403810Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide various systems and methods for producing dried-recovered household food (DRHF) from organic matter that has been preprocessed by an organic matter processing apparatus (OMPA). The OMPA can convert organic inputs into a ground and selectively dried product, referred to herein as OMPA output. A DRHF processing facility can convert OMPA output, received from many different households, into DRHF. The DRHF facility conducts extensive data acquisition and analysis of OMPA output and DRHF at many different stations existing within the DRHF processing facility. A chain of custody, starting with receipt of OMPA output from households throughout a conversion process in which the OMPA output is converted to DRHF is maintained to ensure that the production of DRHF and the DRHF itself satisfies requirements for food safety and handling, thereby allowing the DRHF to be used as feed or as a feed ingredient.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Geoff Hill, Rohan Raman, Matthew Rogers, Harry Tannenbaum, Ross Mazur, Azita Sayadi, Alyssa Pollack

Patent number: 11734345Abstract: The various implementations disclosed herein pertain to methods and systems for detecting a state of monitored objects in a premises. In one aspect, a method is performed at a computer system that is communicably coupled to sensor devices. The computer system receives and processes information of acoustic signals against a database of stored acoustic signatures characterizing predefined acoustic signals generated by electrically non-powered passive tags in response to physical motion of respective monitored objects associated with the passive tags. It receives a first acoustic signal characterized by a first acoustic signature and generated by a first passive tag. In response to the receiving, based on the first acoustic signature and information in the database, it identifies the first monitored object associated with the first acoustic signature, determines a first state of the first monitored object, and provides a notification of the first state to an occupant of the premises.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Harry Tannenbaum, Benjamin Irvine, Shayan Sayadi, James Van Hook Singer
