Patent number: 11560680Abstract: An apparatus for weed control includes a processing unit that receives at least one image of an environment. The processing unit analyses the at least one image to determine at least one vegetation control technology from a plurality of vegetation control technologies to be used for weed control for at least a first part of the environment. An output unit outputs information that is useable to activate the at least one vegetation control technology.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2018Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hinnerk Baßfeld, Thomas Arians, Pascal Day, Virginie Giraud, James Hadlow

Publication number: 20230002986Abstract: The invention relates to a modular system for weed control for a rail vehicle. The modular system has a control unit for producing control signals for controlling valves and miners in a separate herbicide and mixing module and for producing a second set of control signals for controlling valves of a nozzle rod. The herbicide and mixing module has a container for holding different herbicides and electrical connection elements for connections to the control unit. Furthermore, a nozzle rod is present, which is tit ted with a nozzle set, in order to spray herbicides of the herbicide and mixing module. In addition, a camera module is present, which produces a weed signal in response to the detection of a weed, in order to control the spraying of the herbicides. The camera module is at such a distance from the nozzle rod that, despite high speed, there is sufficient time to provide the herbicide at the nozzles.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Inventors: Hinnerk BASSFELD, Thomas ARIANS, Nils KEILHOLZ

Patent number: 11377806Abstract: An apparatus for weed control includes a processing unit that receives at least one image of an environment. The processing unit analyses the at least one image to determine at least one mode of operation of a vegetation control technology from a plurality of modes of operation of the vegetation control technology to be used for weed control for at least a first part of the environment. An output unit outputs information that is useable to activate the vegetation control technology in the at least one mode of operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2018Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Pascal Day, Thomas Arians, Virginie Giraud, James Hadlow, Hinnerk Baßfeld

Publication number: 20200139393Abstract: The invention relates to a modular system for weed control for a rail vehicle. The modular system has a control module including a control unit and a control module. The control unit is configured to generate a first set of control signals for controlling valves and mixers in an herbicide and mixing module configured to mix an herbicide mixture and to generate a second set of control signals for controlling valves of a nozzle assembly. The herbicide and mixing module has a plurality of containers for receiving different herbicides. The nozzle assembly has a first set of nozzles for spraying herbicides, and the control module, the herbicide and mixing module, and the nozzle assembly can each be individually fixed to a carrier element in a reversible manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2018Publication date: May 7, 2020Applicant: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hinnerk BASSFELD, Thomas ARIANS, Nils KEILHOLZ
