Publication number: 20240361489Abstract: The inventive subject matter is directed to pest detection systems that implement infrared emitters with detectors that look for variations in incident light indicative of wingbeats from various pests. Emitters and detectors are placed on one or more printed circuit boards such that infrared light projected from an emitter can be received by one or more detectors. Based on signal generated by a detector, systems of the inventive subject matter can determine whether a pest has flown between an emitter and detector. To save on power, emitter, detectors, or both can be driven by pulse width modulation. Methods of the inventive subject matter are directed to determining pest presence via signal filtering and interpretation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Shailendra Singh, Christopher Verdegan

Publication number: 20240361495Abstract: A computer system provides location-based weather services. Weather data is processed to determine one or more weather values for a location. The one or more weather values are compared to baseline weather data for the location to identify a weather event, wherein the weather event is identified in response to determining that the one or more weather values deviate from a corresponding one or more baseline values of the baseline weather data by a threshold amount. A request is received from a user device for weather information for the location. Information relating to the weather event is provided to the user device.
