Abstract: A system and method for providing an input attribute collected in an area while harvesting a crop from the area is described. The input attribute is collected and the geographic position occupied by a machine for applying materials to the area is measured. The input attribute and the geographic position are transmitted to a central system and associated with a zone including the geographic position at which the input attribute was collected. The zone is stored along with its associated input attribute. As the crop is harvested, the geographic position occupied by the harvesting machine is measured. The measured position of the harvesting machine is compared with the stored zone. If the position of the harvesting machine is determined to be in the stored zone, the input attribute associated with the zone is supplied to the operator of the harvesting machine.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for providing user selectable loadable language blocks to at least one implement monitor and to a display for displaying information from at least one implement monitor, the system includes a first article of software programmed to generate a first language block, a second article of software programmed to facilitate, translation of the first language block to a second language block, and a set of instructions contained within the language server to transfer at least one of the language blocks to the at least one implement monitor.

Abstract: A portable interactive data storage device includes a disk drive, a microprocessor, a USB port, and a data storage card slot. The device also includes a small liquid crystal matrix display and a small number of user controls. The device is configured for data storage, rather than as a small general purpose computer, and preferably does not include a keyboard. The data storage card slot is configured to accept small data storage cards, such as flash memory PC cards or CompactFlash cards through a PC card adapter. The disk drive has a substantially larger capacity than the data storage cards. A user loads data onto a data storage card using a portable electronic device, such as a digital camera. The user then inserts the card into the storage device and uploads the data to the disk drive. The card can then be repeatedly reused in the digital camera by uploading the data to the storage device after each use.

Abstract: A portable content storage device is configured to hold digitally encoded video content on a disk drive. A user connects the device to a publicly located compatible interactive kiosk that stores several encoded content units, such as feature-length films. The user selects content units, and the kiosk copies the selections onto the device. At home, the user connects the device to a compatible set-top box that presents the content units as an output signal to a television set. The set-top box accumulates information related to the use of the video content units, such as how much of a content unit has been viewed and/or how many times it has been viewed. The set-top box then writes the information to the device. The information is read by the kiosk the next time the user connects the device to the kiosk and the user is billed for the use of the content.

Abstract: A diagnostic display system for indicating the status of elevator system operating conditions develops signals representing each operating condition and detects when a car is delayed in responding to a request for service. Signals representing each operating condition are stored when a delayed car response is detected so that the status of the operating conditions as they were at the time of delayed car response can be displayed at a later time.
