Abstract: A non-contact electric potential meter system to determine voltage between an AC conductor and a reference potential without direct electrical contact to the conductor. A housing provides a shielded measurement region that excludes other conductors and holds power supply means; an AC voltage sensing mechanism includes a conductive sense plate and an electrical connection to the reference potential. Waveform-sensing electronic circuitry obtains an AC voltage waveform induced by capacitive coupling between the conductor and the conductive sense plate. Capacitance-determining electronic circuitry obtains a scaling factor based on the coupling capacitance formed between the conductor and the conductive sense plate. Signal processing electronic circuitry uses the AC voltage waveform and the coupling capacitance-based scaling factor to obtain the voltage between the conductor and the reference potential.

Abstract: Herein is described an electronic sensor and Artificial Intelligence (AI) system capable of optimizing agriculture processes in real-time. A number of wired or wireless optical, electrical, thermal, chemical, biological, or other sensors are deployed in a plant's locality, possibly for its full lifecycle. These sensors provide long-term, in vivo observations of both the plant's environment and the plant itself. A plant's interaction with light is measured by persistent, cloud-connected sensors, including a spectral reflectance sensor, Chlorophyll Fluorescence detector (ChFl), ChFl imager, and a near-IR imager. This sensor data enables the in-vivo characterization of a plant's health status and photosynthetic efficiency. A cloud-powered AI system uses machine learning algorithms to model the system, recommend agricultural process improvements, and identify abnormalities associated with plant disease or pests.
