LED light
InactiveUS20150009682A1Provide benefitsReduce shadowing effectPlanar light sourcesElectric circuit arrangementsLight beamOptoelectronics
The present invention is directed towards a light assembly, such as an LED light assembly. A cluster of light beams positioned on a substrate and connected to a power source. The light beams produced by the cluster of LED lights are captured in a mixing chamber and passed through an optical diffusing member. The plurality of light beams will be combined by the combination of the mixing chamber and optical diffuser such that a more uniformed beam is produced. The uniformed beam is then passed through a lens member to be oriented or directed towards the intended location or use of the light beam produced by the light assembly.

Accessing agriculture productivity and sustainability
PendingUS20220061236A1Efficient communicationImprove accuracyClimate change adaptationWatering devicesAgricultural engineeringGrowing season
An integrated multi-scale modeling platform is utilized to assess agricultural productivity and sustainability. The model is used to assess the environmental impacts of agricultural management from individual fields to watershed / basin to continental scales. In addition, an integrated irrigation system is developed using data and a machine-learning model that includes weather forecast and soil moisture simulation to determine an irrigation amount for farmers. Next, crop cover classification prediction can be established for an ongoing growing system using a machine learning or statistical model to predict the planted crop type in an area. Finally, a method of predicting key phenology dates of crops for individual field parcels, farms, or parts of a field parcel, in a growing season, can be established.

A light bar has a circuit board positioned within a housing and having a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to transmit light from an outward facing surface of the circuit board. The housing has wiring electrically connected to a controller. The controller is configured to receive signals from the electrical system of the vehicle, interpret the signals received from the electrical system of the vehicle, and in response automatically control illumination of independently controllable segments of the vehicle light bar. An override mechanism within the controller allows an operator to manually override the automatic response to control illumination of the independently controllable segments with a selected strobing pattern. The override mechanism may be tied into the electrical system of the vehicle such that both the LEDs on the vehicle light bar and the external lights of the vehicle are synced.

Air seed meter disc with flow directing pockets
ActiveUS20140109811A1Independent controlDirect suctionAgriculture and animal husbandary industryPotato plantersDrive motorEngineering
A seed metering system, for use on a row crop planter, selects individual seeds from a seed reservoir and dispenses the seeds singularly at a controlled rate. A direct drive seed metering system includes a seed disc having a plurality of suction apertures with a recessed pocket adjacent to an aperture. The recessed pockets act to agitate seeds in the seed reservoir and to direct seed flow towards the apertures. A seed path relief system provides for allowing the placement of the seeds such that they are released from an outer edge of the seed disc. An adjustable seed singulator is mounted adjacent to the face of the seed disc where inner and outer blades are adjusted radially to compensate for the singulation of various seed sizes and shapes. The seed disc is driven via engagement of an internal gear with the external gear of an independent drive motor.

Smoke detection system and method
ActiveUS20190362126A1Automatic detectionIncrease rangeTelevision system detailsImage codingApplication softwareComputer science
A method of detecting smoke or a fire involves the installation of properly produced cameras in the field. The cameras send recorded photos to a server. A computer downloads the photos from the server and uses attempts to automatically detect smoke with artificial intelligence software. Photos with a detected fire are sent to users which interface with a non-transitory computer readable medium, such as a desktop computer or a mobile phone, capable of executing a software application for verification. Verified smoke or fire threats signal alarms to the designated fire department in an effort to prevent fires from spreading and thus causing unnecessary damage to communities, lives, and ecosystems.

Food products can be stored and sold in packaging. For example, a perishable food product can be stored in a first compartment of a packaging, and a second food product can be stored in a second compartment. The first compartment can include a modified atmosphere to increase the shelf life of the food product in the first compartment. The second compartment can be under normal atmosphere. This allows a more perishable food product to be stored in the first compartment, and a prepackaged, or otherwise less perishable food product to be separately stored in the second compartment, while extending the shelf life of the food products. The first product could be a sandwich, and the second product be one or more condiments for the sandwich.

Non-stationary exercise “inch worm” style platforms are supported by either several skateboard trucks or large wheels on the outside of the platforms. The skateboard trucks include wheels secured to the platform via screws or other fastening mechanisms. At least one wheel includes a ratcheted or clutched one-way bearing to limit movement of the wheel in the desired direction(s). Notched wheels in combination with a track secured to the floor or a greased metal rod or pipe secured on the underside of several platforms can be utilized for further controlling directional movement. Where several platforms are used, the use of a secured stop on the rear platform allows the front platform to move forward as the user's abdominal muscles provide energy for moving the platforms in one direction. Hand-controlled break rods with rubber or plastic stops allow the user to control the pace at which the board is used.

A system and method uses a combustor and gasifier to burn a primary dirty fuel, such as waste materials or high-polluting fossil fuels, and a secondary low-polluting fuel, such as biomass fuels, for co-generation of electricity while reducing harmful emissions. The primary fuel is burned at least partially through the use of an improved burner tube. Dirty exhaust from a combustor is scrubbed by a gasifier by reforming the combustors exhaust gases into a clean-burning producer gas (syn-gas). The secondary fuel and oxygen are added to the dirty exhaust in the gaslifier to create gas, char and ash. The gas powers an engine or turbine that turns a generator, or a boiler, Stirling engine, or Organic Rankine Cycle power plant, and releases a cleaner exhaust.
