  • Patent number: 12352586
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for planning a path within a field for a farming machine. The system predicts boundaries of the field using a previously captured image of the field and generates a suggested route to be taken by a data collection device based on the predicted boundaries. As the data collection device travels along the suggested route, the data collection device collects location data associated with a current layout of the field. The location data may be labeled with obstructions encountered along the way. Based on the location data, the system identifies current boundaries of the field, which may be different from the predicted boundaries. The current boundaries are sent to a verification device to be verified. After the current boundaries have been verified, the path for the farming machine is planned.

  • Publication number: 20240323191
    Abstract: Systems and methods to determine content to present based on interaction information of a given user are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: store, in electronic storage, psychological profiles; obtain, in an ongoing manner, interaction information of users from the online platforms; determine psychological profiles of the users based on the interaction information for the individual users; update, in an ongoing manner, the determined psychological profiles as the interaction information is ongoingly obtained such that the first psychological profile is ongoingly updated as the first interaction information is ongoingly obtained; and provide, based on the psychological profiles, the individual users with content.

  • Patent number: 12072053
    Abstract: A rigid conduit (for example, a metal conduit) featuring an electrofusable section secured to the rigid conduit to allow the rigid conduit to be electrofusion welded to another component of the fueling installation, such as a sump or further electrofusable conduit, is provided by the present disclosure. In certain exemplifications, multiple spaced electrofusable sections are provided on the rigid conduit, with corrosion resistant sections spanning the electrofusable sections in certain arrangements.

  • Publication number: 20240257534
    Abstract: A control system of a farming machine is configured to identify obstruction in a field from image data of the field. The control system accesses an obstruction model configured to identify obstructions in a field from image data of the field. The obstruction model is generated by accessing image data of obstructions in a training field, each obstruction corresponding to a prescribed action occurring at a prescribed time, labelling the image data of the obstructions, and training the obstruction model based on the labelled image data. The control system captures image data of the field including an obstruction and inputs the image data into the obstruction model. Responsive to identifying the obstruction in the field, the control system modifies treatment instructions of the farming machine such that the farming machine performs a implements a farming objective while avoiding the obstruction in the field.

  • Publication number: 20240228603
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides modified antibodies which contain an antibody or antibody fragment (AB) modified with a masking moiety (MM). Such modified antibodies can be further coupled to a cleavable moiety (CM), resulting in activatable antibodies (AAs), wherein the CM is capable of being cleaved, reduced, photolysed, or otherwise modified. AAs can exhibit an activatable conformation such that the AB is more accessible to a target after, for example, removal of the MM by cleavage, reduction, or photolysis of the CM in the presence of an agent capable of cleaving, reducing, or photolysing the CM. The disclosure further provides methods of making and using such modified antibodies and activatable antibodies.

  • Publication number: 20230367874
    Abstract: A document execution engine that receives a document for execution within a document execution environment. The document execution engine may also detect activity within the document execution environment associated with the received document, and apply the trained machine learned model to the detected activity to determine if the detected activity is representative of malicious behavior and, in response to determining that the detected activity is representative of malicious behavior, to identify remedial actions that can mitigate the malicious behavior. The document execution engine may also provide, to a device of a user, a recommendation to perform the identified remedial actions.
