  • Publication number: 20200231515
    Abstract: Fertilizer granules containing elemental sulfur and a hydrogel which expands or swells in the soil to more readily disperse the elemental sulfur surface throughout the soil, which increases the elemental sulfur surface area available for oxidation, and ultimately uptake of sulfur by the plant. The elemental sulfur and hydrogel can be added to a fertilizer composition as either an exterior coating or co-granulated with the base fertilizer composition.

  • Patent number: 10717682
    Abstract: A granular fertilizer product having at least two sources of boron having different solubilities to tailor boron availability during the entire growing season of a plant, while reducing the risk of boron toxicity. A first source of boron can include a sodium-based or highly water soluble boron compound such as sodium tetraborate and/or boric acid, while a second source of boron can include a calcium-based boron compound such as colemanite (CaB3O4(OH)3.(H2O)) (e.g. when the carrier fertilizer is N- or K-based) and/or boron phosphate (BPO4) (e.g. when the carrier fertilizer is P-based). The solubility of the first source of boron is higher than the solubility of the second source of boron such that the sources of boron have different release rates into the soil.

  • Patent number: 10673555
    Abstract: In an ultra-wideband (“UWB”) communication system comprising a pair of UWB transceivers, methods for securely performing channel sounding. In a first GCP Sync method, a pre-determined set of Golay Complementary Pairs is added to an 802.15.4a frame. In a second CLASS method, a cyphered low auto-correlation sum set is added to frame. In a third LCSSS method, a low cross-correlation sidelobe sum set is added to the frame. In general, these methods are adapted to transmit a pseudo-randomly generated codeset which may have inherent sidelobe distortions, and then, in the receiver, to compensate for this, and any channel-induced, distortion by selectively modifing the cross-correlation codeset.

  • Publication number: 20200095175
    Abstract: A new slow-release fertilisers is described that is formed by applying graphene oxide (GO) as a carrier for micronutrients such as copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), in which the micronutrients are efficiently bonded with the functional groups at the surface and sides of the GO sheets due to their affinity to the unpaired oxygen atoms in the GO. The prepared Cu-graphene oxide (Cu-GO) and Zn-graphene oxide (Zn-GO) fertilizers showed a biphasic dissolution behaviour compared to commercial zinc sulphate (ZnSO4) and copper sulphate (CuSO4) fertilizer granules, displaying both fast- and slow-release micronutrient release.

  • Publication number: 20200090286
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system and method for receiving itinerary information and user information for a reservation for a user where the user has opted to acquire lost item protection for use with at least part of the reservation; receiving a lost item notification from a computing device associated with a notifior, the lost item notification including at least notifior information and lost item information; retrieving itinerary information from the first database associated with the user when it is determined that the notifior information from the lost item report matches the user information stored in the first database; facilitating presentation of a list of one or more establishments associated with the retrieved itinerary information; and automatically generating and electronically transmitting a lost item report to the selected at least one establishment if it is determined that the establishment information is stored in the second database.

  • Publication number: 20200045661
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing signals is disclosed. The method comprises using a clock tracking system to convert a future event target time specified in a time base of a master device into the local unsynchronized time bases of one or more slave devices. Each of the slave devices then generates an event signal at the converted time, such that a coordinated delivery of synchronized signals is achieved.

  • Patent number: 10509116
    Abstract: An ultra-wideband (“UWB”) communication system comprising a transmitter and a receiver having two antennas. An UWB signal transmitted by the transmitter is received at each of the antennas. By comparing the carrier phases of the received signals, the phase difference can be determined. From this phase difference and the known distance, d, between the antennas, the Cartesian (x,y) location of the transmitter relative to the receiver can be directly determined.

  • Patent number: 10488509
    Abstract: In an ultra-wideband (“UWB”) communication system comprising a pair of UWB transceivers, an asynchronous two-way ranging method for closely estimating the time-of-flight between the transceivers after the exchange of only 3 messages between the transceivers. In an alternate asynchronous two-way ranging method, the time-of-flight between the transceivers may be closely estimated after the exchange of only 4 messages between the transceivers.

  • Patent number: 10491266
    Abstract: In an ultra-wideband (“UWB”) receiver, a received UWB signal is periodically digitized as a series of ternary samples. During a carrier acquisition mode, the samples are continuously correlated with a predetermined preamble sequence to develop a correlation value. When the value exceeds a predetermined threshold, indicating that the preamble sequence is being received, estimates of the channel impulse response (“CIR”) are developed. When a start-of-frame delimiter (“SFD”) is detected, the best CIR estimate is provided to a channel matched filter (“CMF”). During a data recovery mode, the CMF filters channel-injected noise from the sample stream. Both carrier phase errors and data timing errors are continuously detected and corrected during both the carrier acquisition and data recovery modes of operation.
