A memory embodies instructions, and a processor is coupled to the memory and is operative by the instructions to facilitate: accessing a source of information regarding farm cultivation techniques; constructing a cultivation knowledge graph by parsing the source of information regarding farm cultivation techniques, using natural language processing; identifying cultivation quality assessment factors by applying machine learning to the cultivation knowledge graph; estimating quality of a farm cultivation task by comparing a stream of real-time data to the cultivation quality assessment factors, wherein the stream of real-time data is related to performance of the farm cultivation task; identifying from the stream of real-time data, using the cultivation knowledge graph, a controllable variable that affects the quality of the farm cultivation task; and improving the quality of the farm cultivation task by facilitating a change in the controllable variable. The controllable variable may be the identity of a tractor operator.

Farm cultivation quality

A system, method and program product for implementing a terms of service (ToS) platform. A system is provided that includes a resource tracking system for storing and updating a ToS for a resource according to a defined format in a blockchain; a detector system for detecting transactions associated with the resource; a system for validating a detected transaction relative to the ToS; and a system for composing and storing details associated with the detected transaction in the blockchain.

Terms of service platform using blockchain

A method, system and apparatus of for guiding a physically impaired individual during an emergency, including receiving emergency data, determining or predicting the reactions of other people in response to the emergency data, interpreting in real-time the reactions of the other people to physically impaired person according to the impaired person profile, determining a type and modality of aid services to the physically impaired, and prompting the physically impaired person through one or more devices for aid services.

Interpreting reactions of other people for physically impaired during an emergency situation

The disclosure provides systems and methods for efficient arrangement, use, and management of networked electronic devices. The networked electronic devices are configured to form a peer-to-peer network, and to allocate management, download, and aggregation responsibilities among themselves to improve efficiency. Networking errors are minimized by replacing faulting nodes with idle nodes.

Cooperative download among low-end devices under resource constrained environment

Herein are methods and systems for automated assessment of user devices and associated data, and granting access to wireless networks based on the assessment. For example, the systems and methods assess a user request for access to a wireless network at an access point, and automatically determine the type of access to be granted based on at least a loyalty score associated with the user. The automatic assessment can be used to encourage customer loyalty as well as to manage limited network resources.

Automated granting of access to networks and services for pre-paid devices

Herein is disclosed methods and systems for automated route analysis and recommendation of preferred routes. Recommended routes may be vehicle specific, and custom-selected based on historical data and weighting factors such as road roughness and traversal time.

System and method for controlling ride comfort in a vehicle

The invention pertains to methods and systems for assisting drivers, automated driver systems, and other vehicle operators with detection, avoidance, and mitigation of the hazards posed by aberrations in roadways. The invention provides complete or partial relief to vehicles traveling on roadways in a variety of conditions.
