System to monitor and control supplement intake

BACKGROUND The United States is home to around 87.2 million cattle, with over 700,000 cattle farms. Most ranchers utilize liquid feed for their cattle, which is commercially available and widely used. As the number of cattle per farm continues to grow, it becomes more difficult to monitor feed consumption for each individual cow. Traditionally, cattle...

Seed Orienting Device for a Row Crop Planter

BACKGROUND Past research has indicated that the leaf orientation in maize can increase grain yield. Leaves that are symmetrically oriented across the row increase the light interception, optimize plant populations for the environment, and increase maize grain yields. Many spatial seed placements have been evaluated for leaf orientation. It was found...

Apparatus and Methods to Assess Sub-Surface Tissue Properties

BACKGROUND Knowing the optical properties of a material below the layer able to be visualized via machine without contact, invasion, or destruction of the material is highly useful for quality control or monitoring purposes. Unfortunately, current technology cannot provide the ability to non-destructively identify and assess properties beneath the...

Si-based UV photodetector using an efficient UV-to-visible down-conversion layer

BACKGROUND Ultra-violet (UV) photodetectors have broad applications in many areas such as scintillator light detection, time correlated photo-detection, ultra-fast fluorescent microscopy detection, and ultra-dense spatial imaging. While Si-based photodiodes are fully commercialized with a variety of applications even including single-photon avalanche...

Development of Novel Biocatalytic Conversion Process for Production of Alcohols, Ketones and Organic Acids

BACKGROUND As energy demand increases, efficiently produced biofuels such as ethanol will be preferred over fossil fuels due to their reduced costs. One such biofuel, butanol, has several technical advantages over ethanol including a higher energy density. Butanol is traditionally produced using molasses and starch in the acetone-butanol-ethanol (A-B-E)...
