Title: Sara Collins and Agricultural Nozzle Monitoring
Introduction
Sara Collins is an inventor associated with Tremont, Illinois, and Precision Planting, Inc. Her patent work addresses monitoring the condition of nozzles on agricultural implements.
Latest Patents
Collins is associated with 1 patent: “System and Method to Determine Condition of Nozzles of an Agricultural Implement.” The disclosed system uses a camera mounted on an implement to capture images of nozzle spray over time. A processor assigns ratings to the images, accounting for instances when a nozzle is intermittently off so that it is not incorrectly classified as plugged. The processor then uses those ratings to calculate a running average of the nozzle’s condition.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects Collins’s work on applying image capture and data processing to agricultural equipment monitoring. By distinguishing intermittent nozzle operation from plugging, the system is designed to support more reliable assessment of spray performance.
Collaborations
Collins is associated with Precision Planting, Inc., a company working in agricultural technology. The patent connects her inventive work with the development of systems for monitoring agricultural implements.
Conclusion
Sara Collins’s patent focuses on a practical approach to evaluating agricultural nozzle conditions, using camera images and processor-based analysis to help distinguish intermittent operation from a plugged nozzle.
