Patent number: 11191227Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and method that integrate vineyard sensor data into an environment that enables analysis, historical trend analytics, spatio-temporal analytics, and weather model fusion for improved decision making from vineyard management to wine production. The integration of new sensor data from multiple soil depths with surface measurements, combined with production flow process and historical information enables new decision making capabilities. A wireless network of sensor/transmitters can be distributed to provide a 3-dimensional assessment of water movement both across the grower's field and as it moves from the surface through the root zone. The soil monitoring data stream feeds into a visualization interface that will be incorporated in software based decision aid and crop management tool that helps agricultural producers reduce costs, minimize water and nutrient applications, and better protect the environment by reducing agricultural production inputs.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: David Scott Ebert, Christian E. Butzke, Susan Ebert

Patent number: 11097902Abstract: A material processing unit includes a main frame and a pivot assembly pivotally mounted to the frame. The pivot assembly is movable between a first pivot position, where a portion of the pivot assembly extends below the main frame, to a second pivot position, where the pivot assembly is generally above the main frame. The pivot assembly includes a mount platform that is below the main frame when the pivot assembly is in the first pivot position. The pivot assembly includes a slewing bearing mounted on the mount platform. The pivot assembly also includes a carrier mechanism that is rotatably mounted to the slewing bearing. The carrier mechanism is configured to be rotated generally parallel to the mount platform via the slewing bearing. The material processing unit includes a discharge conveyor that is pivotally mounted to the carrier mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Vermeer Manufacturing CompanyInventor: Kenneth Scott Eberts

Publication number: 20200242523Abstract: Disclosed herein is a visual analytics system and method that provides a proactive and predictive environment in order to assist decision makers in making effective resource allocation and deployment decisions. The challenges involved with such predictive analytics processes include end-users' understanding, and the application of the underlying statistical algorithms at the right spatiotemporal granularity levels so that good prediction estimates can be established. In the disclosed approach, a suite of natural scale templates and methods are provided allowing users to focus and drill down to appropriate geospatial and temporal resolution levels. The disclosed forecasting technique is based on the Seasonal Trend decomposition based on Loess (STL) method applied in a spatiotemporal visual analytics context to provide analysts with predicted levels of future activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Applicant: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: David Scott Ebert, Abish Malik, Sherry Towers, Ross Maciejewski

Patent number: 10300508Abstract: A screening machine includes a rotary trommel screen having an overall length. The rotary trommel screen has an inlet and an outlet end. The screening machine includes a first collection area proximate to the inlet end and under the rotary trommel screen. The first collection area corresponds to at least 65 percent of the overall length of the trommel screen. The screening machine includes a second collection area proximate to the outlet end and under the rotary trommel screen. The second collection area corresponds to the remainder of the overall length of the trommel screen not corresponding to the first collection area. The first and second collection areas are configured to separate a first and second product respectively. Sections of the trommel screen corresponding to the first and second collection areas are configured such that a size of the first product is different than a size of the second product.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2016Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Vermeer Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Kenneth Scott Eberts, Jason Luke, Nathan Lee Torberson, Curtis A.
