Patent number: 11880894Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for recommending ecosystem credit tokens based on modelled outcomes are provided. In various embodiments, field data comprising geospatial boundaries of one or more field are received. One or more methodology is accessed. For each of the one or more fields, one or more farming practice is accessed, wherein each farming practice comprises a location and time. For each of the one or more fields, for each crop production period, an ecosystem attribute is generated by applying one or more ecosystem attribute quantification methods to each spatially and temporally unique set of one or more farming practices. Selection of one or more program is optimized for each field based on the set of selected programs being compatible within the field and production period.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: INDIGO AG, INC.Inventors: Eleanor Elizabeth Campbell, Jacob S.

Publication number: 20240020775Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for recommending farming practices based on modelled outcomes are provided. In various embodiments, field data comprising geospatial boundaries of one or more field are received. Management event data comprising one or more management events within the one or more fields is received. For each management event, a management event boundary defining geospatial boundaries is received, and one or more management zones is determined based on the management event boundaries. One or more ecosystem attribute quantification method is applied to each of the one or more management zones to generate one or more ecosystem attributes of the one or more management zones.

Patent number: 11649101Abstract: A fluid container has a first and second flexible membrane forming at least one chamber, a channel configured to receive pressurized inert gas, and one or more check valve assemblies disposed therebetween. The one or more check valve assemblies is formed from a continuous third flexible membrane folded at an apex, and configured to provide the flow of pressurized fluid in one direction upon inflation, from the channel to the at least one chamber, while restricting flow in the opposite direction. The one or more check valve assemblies are characterized in that they do not require pre-printing or electronic registering, thus allowing for an inflation flow rate of at least twice that of conventional inflatable packaging systems.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Inventor: Steven Michael Stack, Jr.

Patent number: 9932162Abstract: An article of packaging, assembly and a method of manufacturing packaging for holding an object securely by a web or extensible portion formed in a single piece foldable member adapted to insert into a container or formed as an overlap panel to the container contiguous pattern. The foldable member has a planar structure with an upper surface and a lower surface. The pattern includes a platform portion, one or more side panel (s), and a web section in a predefined tessellation pattern. The web section is either integral to the pattern, or a separate web section. The web section is aligned to overlie the planar surface and is attached by an attachment portion to secure the web section to said side panels. In operation, the object is held securely in three-dimensions between the web section and the upper surface of the platform portion when the side portions are folded in a direction away from the web section thereby tightening the web section against the object between the web section and the platform portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Inventor: Steven Michael Stack, Jr.
