Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium that provides an enhanced synchronization framework. One of the methods includes a primary and a second device that receive configuration information which identifies one or more actions to be performed by the secondary device when it receives specified pulses of a sequence of pulses from the primary device. The primary device transmits a sequence of pulses. The primary and the secondary device receive a particular pulse from the sequence of pulses. The secondary device determines whether the particular pulse satisfies one or more predetermined criteria and generates an instruction based on the determination.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining drone-based water measurements. One of the methods includes receiving, by a drone management system that controls a drone that is configured to collect water samples, data from a simulator that generates simulation data associated with a body of water; receiving, by the drone management system, an indication that the drone is available to collect one or more water samples from the body of water; determining, by the drone management system and based on the data from the simulator, one or more locations associated with the body of water at which the drone is to collect one or more respective water samples; and; transmitting, by the drone management system, the one or more locations associated with the body of water to the drone.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for real-time monitoring of an aquaculture feeding system using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). In one aspect, an aquaculture feeding system comprises: a feed pipe arranged between a dosing system and a fish pen; a feed pipe monitoring subsystem comprising one or more controlled impedance cables arranged along the feed pipe, and a pulse generator configured to generate a series of pulses at a predetermined pulse rate to be transmitted through the controlled impedance cables; and a controller subsystem connected to the feed pipe monitoring subsystem, the controller subsystem configured to: monitor pulse responses along the controlled impedance cables; and detect, from the pulse responses, a condition of the feed pipe.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for adjusting an aquaculture camera mounting system. A current combined field of view of two or more cameras that are mounted on an adjustable camera mounting structure in an environment can be determined based upon a current configuration of the adjustable camera mounting structure. A target field of view for the two or more cameras that are mounted on the adjustable camera mounting structure can be determined. Based at least on the field of view target and the current combined field of view, an adjustment parameter for the adjustable camera mounting structure can be determined. The adjustable camera mounting structure can be adjusted according to the adjustment parameter to provide a field of view in accordance with the field of view target.
