Patent number: 11636588Abstract: Apparatus for assessing paddy rice grains including: a light source; a camera secured in a fixed position spaced from the light source; and a grain tray mountable between the light source and the camera. The grain tray defines openings dimensioned to receive the paddy rice grains. The light source is operable in a first mode to illuminate one end of at least some of the openings, and operable in a second mode to illuminate the opposed end of the at least some of the openings. The camera is operable to capture a first image of the at least some of the openings simultaneously with the light source being operated in the first mode, and a second image of the at least some of the openings simultaneously with the light source being operated in the second mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Ricegrowers LimitedInventors: Mark Jeffrey Talbot, Trevor Ian Peacock

Publication number: 20220067903Abstract: Apparatus for assessing paddy rice grains. The apparatus includes: a light source; a camera secured in a fixed position spaced from the light source; and a grain tray mountable between the light source and the camera. The grain tray defines a plurality of elongate openings, each opening defining opposed ends and being dimensioned to receive a paddy rice grain between the ends. The light source is operable in a first mode to illuminate one end of at least some of the openings of the grain tray, and operable in a second mode to illuminate the opposed end of the at least some of the openings. In each mode, the light source transmits light through the at least some of the openings and towards the camera. The camera is operable to capture a first image of the at least some of the openings simultaneously with the light source being operated in the first mode, and a second image of the at least some of the openings simultaneously with the light source being operated in the second mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Applicant: Ricegrowers LimitedInventors: Mark Jeffrey TALBOT, Trevor Ian PEACOCK

Patent number: 8407218Abstract: A computing device includes a processing unit, and a system memory connected to the processing unit. The system memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to create: a demographic identification module that retrieves demographic profile information associated with a user and identifies a relevant demographic category based on the demographic profile information; a population search module that categorizes search information from other users within the relevant demographic category as the other users search for information, the search information including search terms used by the other users and destination content reviewed by the other users; and a search result module that filters a search query from the user by applying the categorized search information for the relevant demographic category and presents filtered search results to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David S. Barlin, Michael R. Dean, Agnita Pandian, Ian Peacock, Khurrum Malik, Jason Christopher Mayans, Teresa Beikie Mah, Paul A. McDaniel, Barry A. Shepherd, Steven Neil Silverman
