Patent number: 11968925Abstract: A method for producing seed corn from the corn plants, for use in growing subsequent corn plants, includes measuring a moisture content of corn kernels on ears of the corn plants in the field and removing, by a combine harvester, the ears of corn from the corn plants when the moisture content satisfies a threshold moisture content. The method then includes separating the corn kernels from cobs of the ears of corn onboard the combine harvester and collecting the separated corn kernels for use as seed corn, whereby one or more subsequent corn plants can be grown from the collected corn kernels.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: Jarrett Ryan Ceglinski, Jack Glenn Fombelle, David Everett Johnson, Jason W.

Patent number: 11961172Abstract: A system and method for object monitoring, detection, and segmentation in electro-optical (EO) satellite imagery data comprising an image processing engine configured to prepare EO data for analysis by an inference engine which utilizes one or more trained models to perform object detection or image segmentation. The workflow begins with ingesting satellite data, followed by de-hazing to remove atmospheric interference. Image enhancement improves resolution and geo-registration ensures precise spatial alignment. The processed image is then fed into a machine learning-based object detection or image segmentation network, trained to identify specific objects of interest. This integrated approach leverages advanced technologies to extract actionable insights from satellite data, enabling efficient and precise object monitoring, detection, and segmentation.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ROYCE GEOSPATIAL CONSULTANTS, INC.Inventors: Adam Estrada, Andrew Ryan, Casey Backes, Joseph Bader, Kenneth Joyce, Jason Dodge, Dave Rabrun

Publication number: 20240070583Abstract: The online concierge system generates task units based on orders and assigns batches of task units to pickers. The online concierge system generates task units based on received orders. The online concierge system generates permutations of these task units to generate candidate sets of task batches. The online concierge system scores each of these candidate sets, and selects a set of task batches to assign to pickers based on the scores. Additionally, to determine which task UI to display to the picker, the picker client device uses a UI state machine. The UI state machine is a state machine where each state corresponds to a task UI to display on the picker client device. The state transitions between the UI states of the UI state machine indicate which UI state to transition to from a current UI state based on the next task unit in the received task batch.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Amod Mital, Sherin Kurian, Kevin Ryan, Shouvik Dutta, Jason He, Aneesh Mannava, Ralph Samuel, Jagannath Putrevu, Deepak Tirumalasetty, Krishna Kumar Selvam, Wei Gao, Xiangpeng Li
