  • Publication number: 20240119732
    Abstract: An operation management system is disclosed. The operation management system may receive a video stream from a wearable device of a user that is performing an operation in a physical environment. The operation management system may process, using an operation performance model, a set of frames of the video stream that indicates a state of a performance of the operation by the user. The operation management system may determine, based on the state of the performance by the user, a next task of the operation. The operation management system may configure display data that is associated with a physical object that is associated with the next task. The display data may be associated with an indicator that identifies the physical object and/or task information associated with performing the next task. The operation management system may provide the display data to the wearable device.

  • Publication number: 20230264243
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods to treat citrus greening. In some embodiments, one or more samples are taken from a location where citrus greening occurs or may occur. In some embodiments, native microorganisms are isolated and propagated. In some embodiments, the microorganisms include algae. In some embodiments, propagated native algae is returned to an area affected by citrus greening. In some embodiments, the returned propagated native algae is distributed to a concentration of 10 times or more of the original native algae concentration. In some embodiments, the distributed algae increase natural antibiotics and nutrients in the soil resulting in prevention of citrus greening.

  • Publication number: 20230219862
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the systems and methods described herein are directed to using microbes such as algae to capture carbon in multiple stages. In some embodiments, during an initial algae growth phase, the system is configured to enable algae to capture carbon dioxide. In some embodiments, a method includes using indigenous algae and/or other microbes from the same environment where the algae and/or other microbes will eventually be distributed. In some embodiments, the initial algae growth phase is a first carbon capture phase. In some embodiments, as the algae grows the carbon dioxide is consumed by the algae while oxygen is released. In some embodiments, once the growth of the algae reaches a maximum capacity of the system, the algae must be expelled from the system to make room for new algae growth which in turn allows for further carbon removal from the atmosphere.
