Publication number: 20240142980Abstract: Annotations for a map of a worksite are generated by a controller. The controller receives georeferenced crop state data and georeferenced agricultural characteristic data, collectively referred to as agronomy data. The georeferenced crop state data and georeferenced agricultural characteristic data are analyzed by the controller to determine relationships therebetween. The controller generates the annotations based on the determined relationships. The controller generates explanations, which are type of annotation, based on determined relationships between current agronomy data and historical agronomy data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Nicholas C.

Patent number: 11950870Abstract: Systems and methods for minimally invasive procedures include a computer-assisted system comprising a manipulator assembly configured to couple to a cannula and a controller coupled to the manipulator assembly. The cannula has a lumen configured to receive a shaft of an instrument. The controller is configured to position a remote center of motion for the manipulator assembly at a first location relative to the cannula, and in response to an indication to reposition the remote center of motion relative to the cannula, reposition the remote center of motion to a second location relative to the cannula while constraining the second location to be located along the cannula. The second location is different from the first location.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: INTUITIVE SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Dinesh Rabindran, Katherine Suzanne Anderson, Nicholas Leo Bernstein, Simon Peter Dimaio, Catherine Mohr, Theodore W.

Patent number: 7590388Abstract: A method and arrangement for noise variance and SIR estimation in a UTRAN Node B or User Equipment estimates the SIR (SIR(l) . . . SIR(K)) at the output of a detector by using an estimate ({circumflex over (?)}2) of the detector input noise variance to provide an estimate ({circumflex over (?)}z2) of the detector output noise variance. The detector input noise variance is derived from a midamble portion in the received signal. By deriving the transfer function of the detector an estimate of the detector output noise variance is estimated. The estimated output noise variance then allows an improved estimate of the SIR (SIR(l) . . . SIR(K)) at the detected output.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2004Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: IPWireless, Inc.Inventors: Alan E. Jones, Nicholas W. Anderson
