  • SCALE AND SCANNER SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220074788
    Abstract: A scale and scanner system includes a controller to control operation of the scale and scanner system. A scale calibration parameter memory for storing scale calibration parameters is coupleable to the controller. A scanning module and a scale module are coupleable to the controller. When the controller is not coupled to the scanning module or scale module, the scale calibration parameter memory remains in the system.

  • Distribution of components of displayed data between a server and a client based on server and client load factors
    Patent number: 11269689
    Abstract: A determination is made of values for measures that affect processing of data in a computing environment comprising a client communicatively coupled to a server, wherein the measures include data factors, client factors, and server factors. A determination is made as to whether a load on the client is greater than the load on the server by calculating a load on the client and a load on the server based on the data factors, the client factors and the server factors, and then comparing the load on the client to the load on the server. In response to determining that the load on the client is greater than the load on the server, the data is stored at a location in the server, and an indication is made in a data structure in the client of a pointer to the location in the server.

  • Machine learning in agricultural planting, growing, and harvesting contexts
    Patent number: 11263707
    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.

  • BRIGHTNESS RANGE
    Publication number: 20220051642
    Abstract: An example display system includes a brightness engine, a pupil engine, and an adjuster engine. The brightness engine identifies a brightness range and the pupil engine identifies a pupil size property. The adjuster engine modifies a display property based on an adjustment to the brightness range based on the pupil size property. In another example, executable instructions cause identification of a brightness level within a range corresponding to a tolerance of pupil constriction and cause adjustment of a display property when the display brightness level is expected to exceed the pupil constriction tolerance. In an example method, a brightness range is identified that corresponds to a maximum constriction and maximum dilation of a pupil, content data that exceeds the brightness range is identified, and a display is caused to present the content data within the brightness range.

  • CONTINUOUS-WAVE RADAR SYSTEM FOR DETECTING FERROUS AND NON-FERROUS METALS IN SALTWATER ENVIRONMENTS
    Publication number: 20220026563
    Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for a continuous-wave (CW) radar system for detecting, geolocating, identifying, discriminating between, and mapping ferrous and non-ferrous metals in brackish and saltwater environments. The CW radar system generates multiple extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves simultaneously and uses said waves to detect, locate, and classify objects of interest. These objects include all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as changing material boundary layers (e.g., soil to water, sand to mud, rock to organic materials, water to air, etc.). The CW radar system is operable to detect objects of interest in near real time.
