| 20100145530 | AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTING IRRIGATION CONTROLLER WITH TEMPERATURE AND RAINFALL SENSOR - Methods and devices are provided to automatically determine plant water requirements and adjust irrigation in order to make efficient use of water. In one implementation, an irrigation control unit comprises at least one input adapted to be coupled to and receive signals from a rainfall sensor and a temperature sensor, the signals corresponding to current values of an amount of rainfall and temperature. The unit also includes a memory storing historical values of a plurality of variables and a processor coupled to the at least one input and the memory. The processor is adapted to determine plant water requirements at least in part using the historical values of the plurality of variables and the current values of the temperature and the amount of rainfall. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20110077785 | Automatically Adjusting Irrigation Controller - Methods and devices are provided to automatically determine plant water requirements and adjust irrigation in order to make efficient use of water. In one implementation, the invention may be characterized as a method comprising: receiving, user entered historical values of one or more environmental variables, wherein the historical values correspond to a geographic region and storing the historical values in a memory; receiving current values of one or more environmental variables useful in determining the plant water requirements from one or more sensors, the values corresponding to a geographic region and the other environment variables being different from the one or more environmental variables and storing the current values in the memory; and determining the plant water requirements based at least in part on the user entered historical values and the current values of the one or more other environmental variables. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20080310662 | Earpiece snoring sound transmitter - The present invention is a battery-powered, Bluetooth-enabled wireless earpiece with a microphone mounted for use inside the wearer's ear canal. Its intended purpose is to transmit sounds such as snoring, generated in the user's upper airway, to a separate device for recording and/or sound analysis. In particular, the present invention is composed of a small housing that fits to all or part of the user's external ear, with a microphone that fits inside the external ear canal. An earplug sandwiched between the microphone and the housing insulates the microphone from noises generated in the outside environment. The housing of the present invention contains on the inside a rechargeable battery and Bluetooth chip, as well as necessary wiring. On its surface, the housing has an ear support piece, an on/off switch, an indicator LED, and an adaptor jack for connection to a battery charger or power cord. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20090210158 | Systems and methods to determine elastic properties of materials - The present invention provides systems and methods to use a measured driving-point response of a nonlinear material to determine one or more elastic properties of the material. The present invention takes advantage of the full information represented by the transient component, the steady-state component, the anharmonic components, and the nonlinear response components of a measured driving-point response of a real nonlinear material, without limitation in the use of large-amplitude forces. The elastic properties are determined by forming and solving a time-domain system of linear equations representing a differential equation model of the driving-point motions of the material. Based on a single, short duration, large-amplitude driving point measurement, both linear and nonlinear properties can be determined; both large-amplitude and near-zero amplitude properties can be determined; and elastic-wave speed and elastic moduli and their variation with depth can be determined. | 08-20-2009 |
