  • Patent number: 12201072
    Abstract: Facility layouts and configurations for an automated crop production system for controlled environment agriculture. In particular implementations, the core of the facility comprises a controlled growth environment and a central processing system. The controlled growth environment includes systems for exposing crops housed in modules, such as grow towers, to controlled environmental conditions. The central processing system may include various stations and functionality both for preparing crop-bearing modules to be inserted in the controlled growth environment, for harvesting crops from the crop-bearing modules after they have been extracted from the controlled growth environment, and for cleaning or washing crop-bearing modules for re-use. The controlled growth environment may include vertical farming structure having vertical grow towers and associated conveyance mechanisms for moving the vertical grow towers along one or more grow lines.

  • Publication number: 20240427900
    Abstract: Privacy incidence evaluation systems and methods are disclosed herein. A code changeset is retrieved that identifies a change from a prior version of a code. A tokenization score is determined from keywords present in the code changeset, where the tokenization score is indicative of a presence of a privacy term in the code changeset. A historical score is determined based on a set of computer code stored in a code repository. A privacy risk score is generated from the tokenization score and the historical score, where the privacy risk score indicates a likelihood that the code changeset, if implemented, would result in an occurrence of a privacy incident (e.g., an unintended leak of private data). An action is performed based on the privacy risk score to mitigate a risk of a privacy incident occurrence.
