Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A crop production system, including at least one electrical sensor configured to measure pressure within a pneumatic flow path configured to convey a particulate material and transmit a first signal indicative of pressure, a controller coupled to the sensor and configured to detect a blockage in the crop production system based on a change in the first signal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A crop production system, comprising: an air source configured to provide an air flow to convey a particulate material through a pneumatic flow path; at least one electrical sensor configured to determine pressure within the pneumatic flow path and to transmit a first signal indicative of the pressure; and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor and to the air source, wherein the controller is configured to detect a blockage in the crop…
