  • Publication number: 20240137704
    Abstract: A high-acoustic-resistance piston motion loudspeaker disclosed in the present disclosure belongs to the field of sound-electricity conversion. The loudspeaker includes a substrate, a driving assembly, a vibrating diaphragm, a connecting assembly and a vibration cavity. The connecting assembly is not coplanar with the vibrating diaphragm, which is of a concealed connecting structure. The driving assembly is configured to drive the vibrating diaphragm to generate a piston motion. The vibrating diaphragm is located in the vibration cavity, and a displacement range of the vibrating diaphragm in a perpendicular direction is within a height range of the vibration cavity formed by a supporting structure extending in a thickness direction of a base, so as to achieve purposes of reducing air leakage and improving a sound pressure level in a working process of the loudspeaker.

  • Patent number: 11864488
    Abstract: Techniques for recommending side-by-side plantings of pairs of seeds include a server computer receiving agricultural data records that represent crop seed data describing seed and yield properties of seeds and first data for agricultural fields where the seeds were planted. The server receives second data for available seeds and automatically calculates a dataset of success probability scores that describe the probability of a successful yield on the target fields. Data is organized as pairs to facilitate comparison of actual plantings to optimized plantings that have a probability of success (POS), in terms of yield lift or increased yield season-over-season, for different yield values. Confidence values are generated and stored in association with the POS values and can be used as a basis of visual output to support planting and/or field management decisions as part of an automated intelligent agricultural decision support system.
