Abstract: An aerial image system may generate images of structures providing views that might otherwise be difficult to obtain. These images may be used to determine various characteristics of the structure, which may then be processed for a variety of tasks including product marketing, claim processing and post-claim analysis. The images may be analyzed by the aerial image system or by a ground-based processing system to determine the structural characteristics such as roof age, roof type and roof pitch. In some examples, image analysis techniques such as edge detection and contrast determination may assist in determining the requisite data. Additionally or alternatively, the processing system may direct or control one or more image capture devices to obtain desired images.

Abstract: A cooling assembly includes an evaporator containing a primary cooling medium, a passive condenser, and a heat exchanger. When a secondary cooling medium is provided to the heat exchanger, the primary cooling medium in the gas phase switches from being received by the passive condenser to the heat exchanger without operating any valves located between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger. The primary cooling medium circulates between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger by natural circulation and gravity without a pump in the flow path of the primary cooling medium between the heat exchanger and the evaporator and between the passive condenser and the evaporator to circulate the primary cooling medium.

Abstract: A device operative to transfer power and communicate wirelessly includes a drive-sense circuit (DSC), memory that stores operational instructions, and processing module(s). The DSC generates a drive signal based on a reference signal and provides the drive signal to a first coil via a single line and via a resonating capacitor, and simultaneously senses the drive signal via the single line, to facilitate electromagnetic coupling to a second coil to transfer power wirelessly to another device. The DSC also detects electrical characteristic(s) of the drive signal including whether a communication signal is transmitted from another device and generates a digital signal representative thereof.

Abstract: In some aspects, a user device may initiate a biometric measurement operation relating to a user of the user device. The user device may monitor, using a pressure sensor of the user device, whether a pressure at an interface between a body of the user and the user device is within a range used for obtaining data for a biometric measurement. The user device may provide an indication of whether the user is to adjust the pressure based on whether the pressure is within the range. The user device may obtain the data for the biometric measurement. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: A valve configured to seal against a valve seat. The valve and valve seat are configured to be installed within a fluid end. A recess is formed within the valve for receiving a seal. A shape of the recess and a shape of the valve are designed to reduce wear to the seal during operation.

Abstract: A plurality of data objects is generated from a data stream received for constructing a backup image. A stream size of the data stream is determined. For each multi-threaded put operation used to write a data object of the plurality of data objects to a cloud storage, a maximum number of threads is determined into which the data object can be separated into a number of parts for simultaneous transmission to the cloud storage. A part size of each part is determined. A number of multi-threaded put operations is determined for writing the plurality of data objects to the cloud storage based, at least in part, on the stream size, the maximum number of threads into which the data object can be separated, and the part size. The plurality of data objects is stored into the cloud storage using the number of multi-threaded put operations.
