  • Publication number: 20240008390
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing agricultural activities in a field region. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes identifying temperature grids for the field region, and identifying weather stations for the temperature grids. Each weather station is located at a weather station location in the temperature grids. The computer-implemented method also includes computing weight values based on the weather station locations of the weather stations, such that the weather stations that are more proximate to their respective grids have higher weights than weather stations that are less proximate to their respective grids, and receiving temperature readings from the weather stations. The computer-implemented method then includes computing a plurality of weighted temperatures based on the weight values, computing field condition data for the field region based on the weighted temperatures, and determining at least one field activity for the field region based on the field condition data.

  • Publication number: 20210266412
    Abstract: The application is directed to a method and system for tracking and managing data usage on a wireless device. A graphical user interface is displayed on a wireless device for tracking and managing data usage over a predetermined time. A request is received via the graphical user interface to set an alert. The alert indicates when the data usage exceeds a predefined value. A determination is made whether the data usage exceeds the predefined value. Further, an alert is transmitted to the wireless device.

  • Patent number: 9478912
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a machined metal contact housing having a contact housing cavity surrounded by a contact housing wall. Two or more electrical contacts are disposed within the contact housing cavity. A polarization alignment key is disposed on an inside surface of the contact housing wall. A key-retaining pocket on the contact housing intersects an inside surface of the contact housing wall to form a longitudinal slot opening between the key-retaining pocket and the contact housing cavity. The key is mounted on the contact housing by virtue of a portion thereof being disposed in the key-retaining pocket. The electrical connector may be manufactured by (1) machining the key-retaining pocket in a metal blank from which the contact housing will be formed, (2) machining the contact housing cavity in the blank so as to intersect the key-retaining pocket, (3) mounting the key, and (4) mounting the electrical contacts.
