  • Patent number: 11790410
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage mediums storing methods of natural capital measurement are described. A region of influence for the area whose natural capital is to be measured is determined and segmented into a plurality of segments. A land assessment model, including a system dynamics model and a spatially explicit model, is generated for the region of influence by training one or more machine learning algorithms to classify land use categories for the segments and to determine statistical relationships between state variables and properties of the segment. A flow sequence for simulating a transport of materials between the plurality of segments is executed to update the land assessment model. Health indicators for the natural capital of the area are generated using the updated land assessment model.

  • Publication number: 20230035355
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage mediums storing methods of natural capital measurement and soil organic property determination are described. A land intelligence system for an area whose natural capital is to be assessed using one or more health indicators is initialised. A region of influence for the area is determined and segmented into a plurality of segments. A land assessment model, including a system dynamics model and a spatially explicit model, is initialised for the region of influence. A flow sequence for simulating a transport of materials between the plurality of segments is executed to update the land assessment model. Health indicators for the natural capital of the area are generated using the updated land assessment model. Information on soil organic carbon properties for the region of influence is generated by querying pre-defined statistical relationships for the soil organic carbon properties using measured parameters for the region of influence.

  • Patent number: 5970125
    Abstract: A system and method for providing messaging services at customer premises equipment. The system includes a messaging platform for receiving and storing messages, the messaging platform including a transmitter for receiving information request messages and a transmitter for transmitting information and customer premises equipment. The customer premises equipment includes a transmitter for transmitting an information request message from the CPE to the messaging platform and a receiver for receiving information from the messaging platform in response to the information request message.
