  • Publication number: 20240403810
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240231573
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide a user experience to interact with an organic matter processing apparatus (OMPA) that converts organic matter into a ground and dried shelf-stable product. The user experience can be accessed via an application that operates on a mobile device or a website. The application can be used to set an operational schedule of the OMPA, start or stop an OMPA processing cycle, observe a status of the OMPA, observe statistics related to the OMPA, request supplies, access a guide to assess whether certain organic matter can be safely added to the OMPA, and alert the user of potential issues with the OMPA.

  • Patent number: 11941969
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling a system to rapidly respond to wireless instructions being transmitted by a personal device over one of several communications networks that share a common RF medium are provided. During operation of the system, certain network communications may take priority over other network communications. Rapid response communications enable a user to communicate with the system, using the personal device, in a manner that does not collide or interfere with higher priority network communications.

  • Patent number: 11734345
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10209690
    Abstract: A computer system is communicably coupled to one or more sensor devices. The computer system obtains a database of stored acoustic signatures characterizing predefined acoustic signals generated by passive tags in response to physical motion of the passive tags. The passive tags are associated with non-provisioned devices, and the acoustic signatures are associated with sets of executable instructions for provisioning the non-provisioned devices. A first acoustic signal characterized by a respective acoustic signature and generated by a first passive tag is detected. In response, and based on the respective acoustic signature and information in the database, a first non-provisioned device associated with the respective acoustic signature is identified, and a first set of executable instructions for provisioning the first non-provisioned device is identified.
