  • Publication number: 20200196535
    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a growth environment of a crop. The method comprises accessing a set of control data modeling a dynamic growth protocol for the crop; commanding a control device to implement control values; receiving, from a plurality of monitoring devices located within the growth environment, monitoring data relating to the growth environment. The method also comprises calculating a growth index; generating a yield prediction for the crop based on a prediction model; generating a predictive recommendation based on at least the monitoring data, the growth index and the yield prediction; modifying the dynamic growth protocol; and commanding the control device to implement updated control values. A profile for a growth environment of the crop may be selected from a plurality of growth environment profiles obtained from various sources and the selected profile may be updated based on a later growth index.

  • Patent number: 10465383
    Abstract: A wall panel storage device includes a looped element and a motor for driving the looped element. A plurality of spacers is attached to the looped element with at least one spacer of the plurality of spacers being configured to fit between a pair of panels to move a panel of the pair of panels into or out of a storage area when the motor drives the looped element. According to one aspect, a wall panel storage system includes a first wall panel storage device adjacent a first track and a second wall panel storage device adjacent a second track. According to another aspect, the wall panel storage system includes a corner drive mechanism with a contact element configured to contact a wall panel to change a direction of travel of the wall panel as the contact element runs along a curved guide.

  • Patent number: 8322643
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of rock crushers, in particular, rock crusher attachments for earth moving equipment or the like. The rock crusher attachment includes a front bucket portion configured for scooping rocks to be crushed and a rear crusher portion connected to and in communication with the rear of the bucket portion. The crusher portion includes a housing and a crushing assembly accommodated within the housing. The housing including a pair of spaced apart side panels. The crushing assembly has a lower jaw fixed between the side panels of the housing and an upper movable jaw mounted opposite and spaced apart from the lower jaw. The upper movable jaw assembly includes a support, an upper jaw plate attached to the underside of the support and a jaw-actuating drive assembly operable to urge the upper movable jaw assembly to move between an open jaw setting and a closed jaw setting. The support is pivotally connected between the side panels adjacent the front of the housing.

  • Patent number: 7941172
    Abstract: Frames received on a first link of a channel are grouped or queued for later processing in a batch or batch mode. Power control instructions included with the frames are examined, and a history of predetermined length is kept. Frames to be transmitted on a second link of the channel are also batched for later handling in batch. Power control bits are generated for the frames, based at least in part on the history kept, in a manner that effectuates a slowing of responding to the incoming power control instructions.

  • Patent number: 7164907
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically detecting a peripheral device in communication with a wireless device, such as a wireless telephone, and requesting a driver for the peripheral from a remote server via a wireless communications network. After the driver is received and installed, the wireless device checks automatically for availability of a new version of the driver from the remote server. If there is a new version, the new driver will be downloaded to the wireless handheld device.

  • Patent number: 7009999
    Abstract: A determination of a coding rate dependent on the size of data frames previously coded or the space remaining for data frames. A variable rate coder creates a data frame. The rate of the variable rate coder is set by examining the amount of space remaining in a data packet, which is at least partially comprised of data frames produced by the variable rate coder. Alternatively examining the amount of space used by previous data frame(s) may set the rate of the variable rate coder.
