Abstract: A method for determining national crop yields during the growing season using regional agricultural data. A server computer system receives agricultural data records that represent covariate data values related to plants at specific geo-locations at a specific time. Agricultural data records are aggregated to create geo-specific time series that represents a specific geo-location at a specified time. An aggregated time series is created from a subset of the geo-specific time series. Then a covariate matrix is created from representative features from the aggregated time series for each specific geographic area. State specific crop yields are determined using a linear regression module to calculate the state specific crop yield for the specific year. A national crop yield is calculated using a distribution for a specific year from the sum of the state specific crop yields for the specific year nationally adjusted using a national yield adjustment module.

Title: Roasting and glazing apparatus, roasting and glazing method, and method for cleaning a roasting and glazing apparatus
Inventor: MONTOYA THOMAS
IPC: A23P20/10
Filed: 2016-06-02
Granted: 2019-12-03
Abstract: A roasting and glazing apparatus includes a housing, a roaster bowl, an agitator, a heater and a cover that includes a water reservoir with at least one metering hole to allow water within the reservoir to flow into the roaster bowl at a measured rate during glazing to produce well coated glazed nuts and that prevents the creation of large bursts of steam, thus protecting the operator against being scalded. The apparatus includes structure to facilitate lifting and lowering of the bowl in a safe manner. The agitator prevents/minimizes build-up of sugar from the underside of its blades and provides enhanced mixing. During steam cleaning, sugar adhered to the bowl and its pouring lip is effectively removed. A smart cleaning cycle electronically determines that the water within the bowl is boiling by assessing changes in temperature of the bowl over periods of time.

Abstract: Methods for monitoring the positions of latch members in a fingerboard structure through use of wireless sensors include using wireless sensor data to determine the angular position of a given latch member, in real-time. If the angular position of the latch member deviates from an expected position by more than a threshold value, this may indicate a possible malfunction of the latch member, and a pipe moving operation may be cancelled. The wireless sensors may also measure rates of movement of a latch member toward the open and closed positions. The rates of movement may be used to estimate the health and useable life expectancy of the latch member. Additionally, if the movement of the latch does not fall within threshold minimum and maximum values, or if the movement of a latch does not correspond to a command, pipe moving operations associated with the latch member may be canceled.
