Abstract: A system and method for construction estimation using aerial images is provided. The system receives at least one aerial image of a building. An estimation engine processes the aerial image at a plurality of angles to automatically identify a plurality (e.g., perimeter and interior) lines in the image corresponding to a plurality of features of a roof the building. The estimation engine allows users to generate two-dimensional and three-dimensional models of the roof by automatically delineating various roof features, and generates a report including information about the roof of the building.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rapidly developing annotated computer models of structures and properties is provided. The system generates three-dimensional (3D) models of structures and property using a wide variety of digital imagery, and/or can process existing 3D models created by other systems. The system processes the 3D models to automatically identify candidate objects within the 3D models that may be suitable for annotation, such as roof faces, chimneys, windows, gutters, etc., using computer vision techniques to automatically identify such objects. Once the candidate objects have been identified, the system automatically generates user interface screens which gather relevant information related to the candidate objects, so as to rapidly obtain, associate, and store annotation information related to the candidate objects.

Abstract: A system and method for mission planning, flight automation, and capturing of high-resolution images by unmanned aircraft is provided. The system includes at least one hardware processor including a controller configured to generate and execute a flight plan that automatically detects and avoids obstacles present in a flight path for capturing the high-resolution images, requiring no (or, minimal) user involvement. The system can also predict obstacles in flight paths, and automatically calculate a flight path that avoids predicted obstacles.

Abstract: Medical devices provide metallic connector enclosures. The metallic connector enclosures may be constructed with relatively thin wails in comparison to polymer connector enclosures to aid in miniaturizing the medical device. The metallic connector enclosures may be constructed with interior surfaces that deviate less from an ideal inner surface shape in comparison to polymer connector enclosures to allow for better concentricity of electrical connectors. The metallic connector enclosures may include a panel that allows access to the cavity of the connector enclosure where set screw blocks, lead connectors, spacers, seals, and the like may be located. Furthermore, the lead connectors within the metallic connector enclosures may be separated from the metallic connector enclosure by being positioned within non-conductive seals that reside within features included in cavity walls of the connector enclosure.

Abstract: Medical devices provide a connector enclosure that includes a feedthrough integrated into the base of the connector enclosure. The feedthrough may include feedthrough passageways that align longitudinally with lead connectors of the connector enclosure where feedthrough pins extend from the lead connectors through the feedthrough passageways. The feedthrough may also include filter plates mounted to the base of the connector enclosure to provide an integrated filtered feedthrough. Additionally, the connector enclosure may include metallic features such as the base and one or more walls that define an enclosure of the lead connectors. The base may be bonded to the can of the medical device to provide a hermetic seal such that the feedthrough integrated into the base eliminates the need for a feedthrough for the can.

Abstract: Medical devices provide connector enclosures that have a metallic portion that has a metallic weld to a metallic portion of a can that houses medical circuitry. The connector enclosure may have a metallic base that receives the metallic weld to the can. The can may have an open top that is capped by the metallic base of the connector enclosure upon mounting the connector enclosure to the can, and the metallic weld to the base of the connector enclosure may create a hermetic seal for the can. The metallic base may provide feedthrough pin passageways where feedthrough pins are present within the connector enclosure and are exposed beyond the metallic base for connection to medical circuitry within the can. The connector enclosure may also include additional metal features where an enclosure for the lead connectors may have walls that are entirely metal.

Abstract: A system and method for integrating and facilitating customer experience provides a user a one-stop location for acquisition of products and services, servicing of products and services, transaction processing, and internal and external financial account management. Once a user registers an individual customer during an activation session, which may include entry of that customer's internal or external account information, the system manages multiple accounts for the customer in accordance with system and user defined rules providing a means to acquire and service products and services, as well as to receive disbursements to external accounts from the system. The system also includes a rules system which scans and resolves any conflicts created among system rules.

Abstract: An automatic vehicle safety belt release system is disclosed having a seat belt, control unit, and power source, connected and operated by the vehicles transmission. The releasing system is incorporated with and will work concurrently with a manual vehicle safety release system. The system is automatically controlled by the vehicles transmission and designed so that when the transmission is put in a specified position an electric signal will be sent to a control unit that is connected to a power source which will send an electric signal to a specified vehicle safety belt latch which will automatically release the specified safety belt through an electronically operated mechanism in the seat belt.

Abstract: Multifunction surgical devices and methods that can be used for implanting a spinal fixation system. Surgical devices of the invention can be used for positioning a bone engaging element with respect to a component of a spinal fixation system and for attaching the bone engaging element to the component of the spinal fixation system. Generally, surgical devices of the invention include a translating member and an attachment device. The translating member can be attached to a bone engaging element implanted in a vertebra, such as a pedicle screw or hook or the like. The translating member can be driven with a driving device to translate the bone engaging element with respect to a component of a spinal fixation system such as a connector or the like. The bone engaging element can be translated to an attachment position with respect to the connector or other component. An attachment device can then be used to attach the bone engaging element to the connector with a fastener such as a nut or the like.
