20110262228 | METHOD FOR DUST CONTROL ON SALINE DRY LAKEBEDS USING MINIMAL WATER RESOURCES - A method for controlling dust on a saline lakebed is disclosed comprising several methods such as a Brine Membrane method, an Interim method and a Springtime Conservation method. The Brine Membrane method comprises creating or locating an existing wetting basin, depositing precipitated salts in the basin, and depositing a brine over the salts to form a brine membrane. | 10-27-2011 |
20120177449 | METHOD FOR DUST CONTROL ON SALINE DRY LAKEBEDS USING MINIMAL WATER RESOURCES - A method for controlling dust on a saline lakebed is disclosed comprising several methods such as a Brine Membrane method, an Interim method and a Springtime Conservation method. A Master method for determining which of the three methods to use under certain circumstances is described. Prospective application of the methods is for dry lakebeds, such as the Owens Lakebed in California. | 07-12-2012 |
20120290140 | Method and System to Control Irrigation Across Large Geographic Areas Using Remote Sensing, Weather and Field Level Data - A system and method to use remote sensing to estimate crop water use that is forecasted and is updated as weather and new satellite data become available. From these data the system and method uses a water accounting algorithm to prescribe irrigation differentially for regions of a field or for the entire field as an average. Irrigation prescription is delivered remotely through Internet technology. | 11-15-2012 |

20140369767 | METHODS FOR DUST CONTROL ON SALINE DRY LAKEBEDS USING MINIMAL WATER RESOURCES - A method for controlling dust on a saline lakebed is disclosed comprising the steps of commencing the flooding of a wetting basin, testing to determine if there is a sufficient level of salts which when flooded will produce a brackish solution, testing the temperature of the lakebed substrate and curtailing further flooding of the lakebed depending on the substrate temperature. | 12-18-2014 |
20150016891 | METHODS FOR DUST CONTROL ON SALINE DRY LAKEBEDS USING MINIMAL WATER RESOURCES - A brine membrane method for controlling dust on a saline lakebed is disclosed comprising the steps of creating or locating an existing wetting basin, depositing precipitated salts in the basin, and depositing a brine over the salts to form a brine membrane. | 01-15-2015 |
20150201605 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MAP BIOLOGICAL PESTS IN AGRICULTURAL FIELDS USING REMOTELY-SENSED DATA FOR FIELD SCOUTING AND TARGETED CHEMICAL APPLICATION - A method for precisely applying chemicals targeted by digital maps developed from remotely sensed data, including: obtaining EOS data through a growing season of a crop growing in a field; processing the EOS data to reflectance values; removing error-inducing effects of atmospheric alteration from the processed EOS data; calculating from the processed EOS data a crop performance index that indicates one or more poor performing areas of the field; generating one or more maps of the crop performance index to allow a user to determine whether each of the one or more poor performing areas of the field are due to biological pests instead of topographic or soil constraints in discrete locations of the field; guiding the user to the one or more poor performing areas of the field using the one or more maps to allow the user to scout the one or more poor performing areas of the field to confirm and identify the biological pests; and providing guidance for a chemical application at the one or more poor performing areas that were confirmed as having the biological pests. Other embodiments are provided. | 07-23-2015 |
20150206255 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO PRESCRIBE VARIABLE SEEDING DENSITY ACROSS A CULTIVATED FIELD USING REMOTELY SENSED DATA - A method for prescribing variable seed density planting. The method can include: obtaining first EOS data collected approximately on an estimated day (DOY′) during a past crop-growing season in which NDVI* data most closely resembles a spatial-yield pattern measured during harvest in the past crop-growing season; converting the first EOS data to first reflectance data and first NDVI data; calculating first NDVI* data on a per pixel basis for the first EOS data based on the first NDVI data using satellite scene statistics of the first EOS data; generating an NDVI* map for a first field using the first NDVI* data for the first EOS data; and generating a variable seed density prescription map using the NDVI* map. The variable seed density prescription map can be spatially defined. Other embodiments are provided. | 07-23-2015 |
