Publication number: 20240032454Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting yield values for crops based on scan data associated with the crops are provided. One example computer-implemented method includes initially classifying data points of a composite data set into one of a ground class and a vegetation class. The method also includes determining a canopy height model (CHM) for the plot based on the classified composite data set, where the CHM includes at least one of the data points classified in the vegetation class, and computing a plant height for the plot based on the CHM. The method further includes determining a neighboring plant height difference based on the plant height for the plot and a plant height for each of at least one neighboring plot to said plot, computing a yield adjustment based on the determined neighboring plant height difference(s), and determining a plot yield for the plot, based on the yield adjustment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Steven James BALDWIN, Robert Paul BRAUER, Akash Dev NAKARMI, Anju Panicker Madhusoodhanan SATHIK, Minghui SUN

Publication number: 20230313417Abstract: A process for producing a polymer strand involves: inserting a nucleation element into a pre-strand composition, the pre-strand composition comprising a polymer mixed with a solvent, the polymer having a concentration in the pre-strand composition that is greater than or equal to an overlap concentration (c*) of the polymer in the pre-strand composition; and, withdrawing the nucleation element from the pre-strand composition so that a strand comprising the polymer is pulled by the nucleation element from the pre-strand composition, the nucleation element being withdrawn at a rate such that a pull time (?pull) of the nucleation element is less than reptation time (?rep) required to relax polymer entanglements in the pre-strand composition, thereby inducing a viscoelastic response in the pre-strand composition as the strand is pulled by the nucleation element from the pre-strand composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2021Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: John Paul FRAMPTON, IV, Gurkaran CHOWDHRY, Samuel James BALDWIN, Laurent KREPLAK, Neha NAUMAN

Publication number: 20230235687Abstract: A compression-release engine brake system operating an exhaust valve of an engine during a compression-release engine braking operation. The compression-release brake system comprises an exhaust rocker arm and a brake reset device disposed in a reset bore formed in the exhaust rocker arm. The brake reset device comprises a reset check valve, a slider-piston slidably disposed in the reset bore and an external slider bias spring biasing the piston foot away from the brake reset device. The external slider bias spring is disposed outside the reset bore and around the piston-slider. The brake reset device permits pressurized hydraulic fluid to flow from a supply conduit to a reset conduit to supply a brake actuation piston when the reset check valve is open. The actuation piston extends and engages the exhaust valve toward the end of a compression stroke of the internal combustion engine, and the brake reset device resets.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Pacbrake CompanyInventors: Kody TAYLOR, James BALDWIN, Peter STEC

Publication number: 20230231984Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for camera synchronization. An example method can include determining, for each camera of a plurality of cameras, a common point within an exposure time corresponding to a frame being requested from each camera. The method can include determining, based on the common point determined for each camera of the plurality of cameras, a respective synchronization error of each camera from the plurality of cameras. The method can include adjusting, based on the respective synchronization error, a duration of the frame at one or more cameras from the plurality of cameras, wherein the adjusted duration of the frame aligns the common point within the exposure time at each camera for the frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventor: Cullum James Baldwin

Publication number: 20230206385Abstract: Examples are described of marking specified regions of stored image frame buffer data in an image frame buffer. An imaging system can read the specified regions of the image frame buffer to identify whether the marking has been overwritten or not. The imaging system can thus efficiently identify how much of the image frame buffer has been overwritten with data from a new image frame. Based on this, the imaging system can retrieve partial image frame data from the image frame buffer and can process the partial image frame data, for instance to composite the partial image frame data with virtual content and/or to perform distortion compensation. The processed partial image frame data can be uploaded to a display buffer and displayed by a display, either as-is or once more of the frame is captured and processed. The imaging system can also perform auto-exposure using the partial image frame data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Martin RENSCHLER, Cullum James BALDWIN, Michael MAGER, Gautham MAYYURI, Bijan FORUTANPOUR

Publication number: 20200084387Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for placing a camera into a low power mode. An example device may include a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to determine that the first camera is to be placed into a low power mode. The first camera is in an active mode and has a first frame capture rate. The processor further is configured to generate and output a command for placing the first camera into the low power mode. Execution of the command causes the first camera to increase the first frame capture rate to a second frame capture rate and go into the low power mode from the active mode after increasing the first frame capture rate to the second frame capture rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2018Publication date: March 12, 2020Inventors: Cullum James Baldwin, Walker Curtis
