  • Patent number: 11804912
    Abstract: One example includes a self-synchronizing TDD antenna system. The system includes an antenna system to communicate transmit and receive signals and an antenna control circuit coupled to a user communication system. The antenna control circuit includes a transmission line measurement circuit to determine signal loss through a transmission line cable coupled to the antenna system and an amplitude adjustment circuit to adjust amplitude of the transmit and/or receive signals based on the signal loss. A transmit detection circuit monitors signal power of the transmit signal, and a controller switches the amplitude adjustment circuit from a receive mode to a transmit mode in response to the monitored signal power exceeding a predetermined threshold. In the receive mode, the adjustment circuit applies a receive amplitude adjustment to the receive signal, and in the transmit mode the adjustment circuit applies a transmit amplitude adjustment to the transmit signal.

  • Patent number: 11734919
    Abstract: A flexible computer architecture for performing digital image analysis is described herein. In some examples, the computer architecture can include a distributed messaging platform (DMP) for receiving images from cameras and storing the images in a first queue. The computer architecture can also include a first container for receiving the images from the first queue, applying an image analysis model to the images, and transmitting the image analysis result to the DMP for storage in a second queue. Additionally, the computer architecture can include a second container for receiving the image analysis result from the second queue, performing a post-processing operation on the image analysis result, and transmitting the post-processing result to the DMP for storage in a third queue. The computer architecture can further include an output container for receiving the post-processing result from the third queue and generating an alert notification based on the post-processing result.

  • Patent number: 11477955
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to upright heading iceberg lettuce plants including a space between the base of the head and the top of the ground, wherein the space includes an increased length of core outside of the processing material of the head (i.e., external stem). The increased external stem lengths of the upright heading iceberg lettuce plants of the present disclosure make them suitable for machine harvesting. Other aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods of generating and selecting upright heading iceberg lettuce plants. New upright heading iceberg lettuce varieties designated ‘E01E.70111’ Lot A, ‘E01E.70111’ Lot B, ‘E01E.70168’ Lot A, and ‘E01E.70168’ Lot B are described.

  • Patent number: 11070675
    Abstract: A method and device are presented for delivering a voicemail message to a voicemail system associated with a user device. A first session initiation protocol (SIP) session may be initiated with a first SIP server. Upon receiving a provisional response from the first SIP server, a second SIP session may be initiated with a second SIP server. A response indicating that a call has been successfully established using either the first SIP session or the second SIP session is received. The SIP session in which the call was not established is terminated. Audio from the voicemail system received via the SIP session in which the call was established is analyzed to determine when the voicemail system may receive the voicemail message. The voicemail message is transmitted to the voicemail system via the SIP session in which the call was established.
