  • Patent number: 11994369
    Abstract: A payload conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may include a housing configured to house at least a plurality of electrodes and a signal generator. The payload CEW may be removably inserted into a bay of a launcher. The launcher may be mounted on a vehicle. The plurality of electrodes may be configured to be launched from the housing. The housing may be configured to be launched from the bay of the launcher simultaneously with or after the plurality of electrodes are launched. The signal generator may be configured to transmit a stimulus signal through the plurality of electrodes. The signal generator may be configured to transmit the stimulus signal before, during, and/or after the housing is launched.

  • Publication number: 20240005388
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to virtual reality systems (and/or augmented reality systems) that facilitate visualization of replacement and/or additional items for rebuilding a damaged room. The system may provide a virtual representation of a subject real-world room. A user may select items, such as appliances and furniture, for placement in the virtual room and the system may update the virtual room to include a representation of the items. In some embodiments, the system may utilize information about the user to provide recommendations regarding items that may be placed in a virtual room. For example, the system may utilize one or more service records to identify items covered under a service associated with the user. In some embodiments, the system may apply a monetary settlement to the cost of the real-world items to facilitate the replacement of damaged items.

  • Publication number: 20230410577
    Abstract: A system, includes at least one processor and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations. The operations include receiving, from a sensor associated with an object, sensor data; determining, based on the sensor data, a damage model indicating a severity of one or more damage elements; determining, based on the sensor data, scene data identifying a geographic location; and generating, by at least one machine classifier, event interpretation data for each of the one or more damage elements, wherein the event interpretation data is based on the sensor data, the damage model, and the scene data.

  • Patent number: 11741763
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media, are disclosed in which a variety of data describing the condition of an object can be obtained and probabilistic likelihoods of causes and/or value of damages to the object can be calculated. In a variety of embodiments, data obtained from third-party systems can be utilized in these calculations. Any of a number of machine classifiers can be utilized to generate the probabilistic likelihoods and confidence metrics in the calculated liabilities. A variety of user interfaces for efficiently obtaining and visualizing the object, the surrounding geographic conditions, and/or the probabilistic likelihoods can further be utilized as appropriate to the requirements of specific applications of embodiments of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20230169601
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling an autonomous vehicle to respond to a detected collision. An autonomous vehicle control system may receive sensor data associated with an autonomous vehicle in which the autonomous vehicle control system is installed. The autonomous vehicle control system may analyze the sensor data in real-time as the sensor data is received and may detect an occurrence of a collision involving the autonomous vehicle. In response to detecting the occurrence of the collision, the autonomous vehicle control system may generate claim information based on the sensor data and may process the claim information based on at least one insurance profile maintained by the autonomous vehicle control system. Then, the autonomous vehicle control system may generate a claim notification based on processing the claim information and may send the claim notification to a vehicle management computer system.
