20140278587 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING PROPERTY DAMAGE - A damage assessment module operating on a computer system automatically evaluates a property, estimating damage to the property by analyzing a point cloud of a property. The damage assessment module identifies individual point clusters or segments from the point cloud and detects potentially damaged areas of the property surface by identifying outlier points in the point clusters. The damage assessment module may be used to determine the financial cost of the damage and/or determine whether the property should be replaced or repaired. In addition to eliminating the need for an estimator to visit the property in person, the damage assessment module improves the consistency and accuracy associated with estimating damage to a property. | 09-18-2014 |
20140324405 | Systems and Methods for Assessing a Roof and Generating Models - A damage assessment module operating on a computer system generating a model undamaged roof shingle includes using a method based on the average nearest-neighbor distance. The damage assessment module identifies a set of points comprising a first point cloud representing a first shingle and a set of points from a second point cloud representing a second shingle. The damage assessment module then calculates an average nearest-neighbor distance for the set of points. Based on the average, the damage assessment module calculates a threshold distance. The damage assessment module then stores the set of points to memory as a point cloud representing a model roof shingle that can be later retrieved and compared to point clouds of individual shingles. The damage assessment module improves the consistency and accuracy associated with assessment of the roof and eliminates the need for the estimator to use subjective assessment results, which can be inadequate. | 10-30-2014 |

20160135435 | Nutrient Enriched Mineral Substrate for Propagating Marine Life - Many types of artificial reefs have been deployed in the world's oceans, bays and estuaries. These range from sinking ships to dispersing old building debris. In most approaches, the material placed in the marine environment lacks any nutrients needed for growth or concern regarding proper chemical conditions necessary to start and sustain life. In this discovery, concrete is made from both inorganic and organic components. The inorganic components are selected to include species that will be used to create a receptive surface to start and sustain life. Moreover, other conditions such as pH, chemical toxicity, nutrient levels and biodegradability are considered in the formulation. Additionally, there is an organic component that is part of the concentration mixture which provides trace nutrients and serves to weaken the structures so it will biodegrade over time. The biodegradable concrete slowly releases small quantities of resources (over months and years) providing a steady flux of essential nutrients. | 05-19-2016 |
