Singular Knee Identification for Emergence Recognition (SKIER)

BACKGROUND How can an observer determine when a collection of moving agents reflects coordination beyond a high traffic scenario? This kind of systematic coordination is referred to as “emergence,” which continues to lack a systemic mathematical definition that allows for rigorous behavior detection. Physical flocks and swarms that contain...

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. Many ranchers utilize liquid feed for their cattle, which is commercially available and widely used, but it is not possible to monitor feed consumption for each individual cow. Traditionally, cattle stand at a covered tank and lick a rotating wheel....

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...
