Abstract: A Railroad Tie Management System is disclosed that can provide an efficient and organized method of inspecting and auditing ties in a rail system. Tie mark files can be retrieved by a client from a server or database in operable communication with the client, and upon instantiation of an inspection process governed by the system, an inspection information table and tie grid can be generated. The tie grid can operable to receive commands from a user, and the inspection information table is operable to automatically increment and decrement fields contained within in response to changes within the tie grid. The tie grid can also be configured to incorporate data from tie scans and serve the data to the client in a useful and user-friendly manner.

Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for associating electronic devices together based on received audio commands are described. Methods for associating an audio-controlled device with a physically separate display screen device such that information responses can then be provided in both audio and graphic formats using the two devices in conjunction with each other are described. The audio-controlled device can receive audio commands that can be analyzed to determine the author, which can then be used to further streamline the association operation.

Abstract: A vehicle system including a vehicle including a chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, a prime mover configured to generate mechanical energy to drive the vehicle, a lift assembly; and a vehicle control system including a sensor integrated into the body assembly. The vehicle control system is configured to receive sensor data from the sensor. The sensor data indicates a potential event. The vehicle control system is further configured to generate a notification associated with the potential event, receive control data indicating a state of the refuse vehicle, filter the sensor data through the control data to determine if the potential event is a false event associated with the state of the refuse vehicle or a true event associated with an external source, and mask the notification in response to a determination that the potential event is a false event.

Abstract: A vehicle system comprises an automotive vehicle, at least one connector coupled to the vehicle, a vehicle protector coupled to the at least one connector, and a controller. The controller is configured to selectively adjust the connector, thereby adjusting the position of the vehicle protector such that the vehicle protector is located adjacent to a door of the vehicle.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for initializing a memory module in accordance with a programmable initialization sequence. A memory controller, for example, includes a programmable computer-readable medium that stores configuration data to control initialization of one or more memory modules. The memory controller includes an initialization control unit that outputs a sequence of commands to initialize the memory modules in accordance with the configuration data. The initialization control unit may select the sequence of commands from a set of predefined initialization sequences based on the configuration data.
