  • Systems and methods for creating duplicate keys
    Patent number: 12276494
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of replicating or copying keys. More specifically, the present invention relates to creating a copy of a master key based on a captured image of the master key by using a laser scanning of the master key and decoding the master key based on the captured image. The present invention identifies a set of target key information based on the image of the master key to provide for the cutting of a duplicate key blade copy using a key scanning and cutting system located at a retail or end location. Additional key information may also be captured along with the image of the master key.

  • Label propagation in a distributed system
    Patent number: 12277174
    Abstract: Data are maintained in a distributed computing system that describe a graph. The graph represents relationships among items. The graph has a plurality of vertices that represent the items and a plurality of edges connecting the plurality of vertices. At least one vertex of the plurality of vertices includes a set of label values indicating the at least one vertex's strength of association with a label from a set of labels. The set of labels describe possible characteristics of an item represented by the at least one vertex. At least one edge of the plurality of edges includes a set of label weights for influencing label values that traverse the at least one edge. A label propagation algorithm is executed for a plurality of the vertices in the graph in parallel for a series of synchronized iterations to propagate labels through the graph.

  • Building ridge vent system
    Patent number: 12276438
    Abstract: A ridge vent system is provided including a ridge vent having opposing exterior sidewalls that each define multiple fastener recesses that extend inward from the exterior sidewalls and downward from a top plate. The ridge vent can include ventilation elements within the exterior sidewalls and/or fastener recesses. The ridge vent can include an air permeable filter membrane that can be secured to bottom walls of the fastener recesses to impair environmental elements from entering a structure therethrough, yet still provide air flow out the vent. The ridge vent can be in sheet or roll form, depending on the application. The ridge vent can provide enhanced attic ventilation and/or airflow through the ridge vent, while still providing fastener recesses that facilitate rapid and efficient application of fasteners therethrough.

  • Methods for purifying and recycling lead from spent lead-acid batteries
    Patent number: 12278352
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods by which lead from spent lead-acid batteries may be extracted, purified, and used in the construction of new lead-acid batteries. A method includes: (A) forming a mixture including a carboxylate source and a lead-bearing material; (B) generating a first lead salt precipitate in the mixture as the carboxylate source reacts with the lead-bearing material; (C) increasing the pH of the mixture to dissolve the first lead salt precipitate; (D) isolating a liquid component of the mixture from one or more insoluble components of the mixture; (E) decreasing the pH of the liquid component of the mixture to generate a second lead salt precipitate; and (F) isolating the second lead salt precipitate from the liquid component of the mixture. Thereafter, the isolated lead salt precipitate may be converted to leady oxide for use in the manufacture of new lead-acid batteries.
