Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of small molecule DELLA degradation promoters of formula (I) in promoting plant growth.

Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

Abstract: A method of imaging a turbine engine test component with a first surface and a second surface that is spaced from the first surface. The turbine engine test component includes a plurality of film holes with inlets formed in the second surface or interior that are fluidly coupled to outlets formed in the first surface or exterior. The method includes flowing airflow through the plurality of film holes of the turbine engine test component, obtaining thermographic data, determining a test dataset, and calculating a performance score.

Abstract: An online agricultural system manages and optimizes interactions of entities within the system to enable the execution of transaction and the transportation of crop products. The online agricultural system accesses historic and environmental data describing factors that may impact crop product transactions and/or transportation to determine market prices for crop products and crop product transportation. Responsive to receiving a request from an entity, the online agricultural system determines an optimal transaction for the entity, such as a price for selling a crop product, an available crop product for purchase, or a transportation opportunity to transport a crop product.

Abstract: A vehicle engine mount structure includes a motor mount assembly, a motor bracket and a heat shield. The motor mount assembly has a first attachment part with a fastener receiving aperture, a vibration absorbing section and a second attachment part spaced apart from the first attachment part. The motor bracket has a first flange portion configured to support a vehicle engine and a second flange portion configured to attach to the second attachment part of the motor mount assembly. The heat shield is dimensioned to at least partially overlay the vibration absorbing section of the motor mount assembly and overlay the fastener receiving aperture with the heat shield being disposed between the motor mount assembly and the second flange portion of the motor bracket, and with the second flange portion of the motor bracket attached to the second attachment part of the motor mount assembly.

Abstract: A shifter cable assembly of a vehicle includes a vehicle panel selected from a floor panel and a dash wall panel. A transmission is disposed on a first side of the vehicle panel. A shift member is disposed on a second side of the vehicle panel opposite the first side. A mounting bracket is rigidly attached to the vehicle panel. A sealing grommet has a sealing portion sandwiched between the mounting bracket and the vehicle panel. A shifter cable is received by a conduit portion of the sealing grommet. A first end of the shifter cable is connected to the transmission, and a second end of the shifter cable is connected to the shift member. A damper member is connected to the mounting bracket. The damper member is configured to reduce application to the mounting bracket of vibration generated by the transmission.

Abstract: A pipe coupling assembly and method for protecting control lines is disclosed wherein a shoulder modification is made on the pipes to prevent breakage of a control line protector clamp. Particularly, the present invention relates to a coupling assembly for protecting a control line comprising a first pipe including a first stop surface, a second pipe longitudinally connected to the first pipe, a clamping device connected to the first pipe and the second pipe, the clamping device including a first clamping end connected to the first pipe and a control line receiving portion, and a control line extending along the length of the first pipe and the second pipe, the control line being positioned within the control line receiving portion of the clamping device. Additionally, the first stop surface is positioned at a predetermined angle relative to the first pipe to prevent breakage of the clamping device.
