Patent number: 11688069Abstract: A method and system for crop health change monitoring is provided. The method includes acquiring a companion image of a crop growing within a field at a first point in time, acquiring a master image of the crop growing within the field at a second point in time, and computing, using a processor, vegetation indices using the master image and the companion image for subsequently determining regions of change within the master image. An alert condition is determined if change within one or more of the regions of change is sufficient to meet defined criteria. If a minimum field area threshold is met, a modulation coefficient is applied to the defined criteria that determines the alert condition. The coefficient reduces area-based thresholds used in health detection in a manner proportional to the size of the agricultural field of interest.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Farmers Edge Inc.Inventor: Gordon Stuart James Logie

Publication number: 20160324203Abstract: A soy protein product, which may be an isolate, produces transparent heat-stable solutions at low pH values and is useful for the fortification of soft drinks and sports drinks without precipitation of protein. The soy protein product is obtained by extracting a soy protein source material with an aqueous calcium salt solution to form an aqueous soy protein solution, separating the aqueous soy protein solution from residual soy protein source, adjusting the pH of the aqueous soy protein solution to a pH of about 1.5 to about 4.4 to produce an acidified clear soy protein solution, which may be dried, following optional concentration and diafiltration, to provide the soy protein product.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Applicant: BURCON NUTRASCIENCE (MB) CORP.Inventors: Martin Schweizer, Kevin I.
