Publication number: 20240065458Abstract: A storage system is configured for adjustable suspension from fixed points on a vertical wall, such as from fixed tie-down loops that are rigidly and permanently affixed to the wall of a shipping container. The system includes a plurality of pivotable arms that may have attached thereto shelves or other planar panels and may be variably positioned to provide vertical storage panels, flat work surfaces (such as a desk surface), or upwardly angled support posts, for example, for hanging items such as cables, ropes, pipe sections, and the like. A suspension assembly for the storage system enables hanging suspension of the system at any desired location along the length of the vertical wall, despite the location of the fixed loops from which the system is ultimately suspended.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Steven Pryor, Jodi Shaw, Brian Kavanagh, Lawrence Berger, Gregg Sheddy, Corey Salemi, Jeff Bowers, Matt Mangosing, Michael Elling Zimmerman

Publication number: 20240031636Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for dynamic synchronization of media streams from remote users. A latency matrix between all participants is generated and participants within acceptable synchronization windows are grouped together. Earlier media streams are buffered and started in synchronization with later streams locally at each client device. To provide an improved experience for earlier or lower-latency clients, additional media streams may be generated (e.g. synthesized, played back from recordings, or dynamically generated based on locally input media). Accordingly, each user is provided with a collaborative experience in substantial synchronization.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: TogetherSound LLCInventors: Brian Shaw, Steve Melnick

Publication number: 20240001661Abstract: Composite panels and methods of preparation are described herein. In some embodiments, the composite panel can include a first fiber reinforcement, a polyurethane composite having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the first surface is in contact with the first fiber reinforcement; and a cementitious material adjacent the first fiber reinforce-opposite the polyurethane composite. The polyurethane composite can be formed from (i) one or more isocyanates selected from the group consisting of diisocyanates, polyisocyanates, and mixtures thereof, (ii) one or more polyols, and (iii) a particulate filler. The fiber reinforcement can be formed from a woven or non-woven material, such as glass fibers. The composite panel can further include a material, such as a second fiber reinforcement and a cementitious layer, in contact with the second surface of the polyurethane composite. Articles comprising the composite panels are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Westlake Royal Building Products Inc.Inventors: Russell HILL, Amitabha KUMAR, Hamed LAKROUT, Li AI, Russ MAJORS, Brian SHAW, Robert F.

Publication number: 20230196439Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a system for generating recommendations for a user. The system may obtain account data associated with a user. Based on the account data associated with the user, the system may access a machine learning model to determine a propensity for conversion to sustainability. The propensity for conversion to sustainability may be based on one or more purchases by the user of one or more sustainable items. Further, the propensity for conversion to sustainability may be based on one or more purchases by one or more similar users of one or more sustainable items. The system can generate recommendations for the user and the recommendations may include at least one recommendation for a sustainable item based on the propensity for conversion to sustainability.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventor: Brian Shaw Ames

Patent number: 11526848Abstract: A system and method for end-to-end transaction management, for example, for a structured finance market. The system and method digitizes and deconstructs complex interconnected transaction documents. The system creates transparency around the complexities of the transactions, generating significant efficiencies for existing market participants and enabling access to previously hidden and/or inaccessible data. In some embodiments, the platform supports a selected ecosystem (compared to specific use-cases within a market vertical) with a seamless integration of frameworks and schemas for the organization and structure of provisions, analytical tools extracting the required data, and the creation of metrics to informatively assess and calibrate the market. The system advantageously creates a digital language providing a tool, which will further enable the digitization of the finance ecosystem.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: NAMMU21, INC.Inventors: Someera Fazal Khokhar, Joel Jerome Jarvis, Brian Shaw, Darcy Binder, Daniel Ayoub, Adam Tyler Pugh, Kusmina Gerasimina Laura Djohan Spender, Jason Simmons, Jordan Shelley, Paul Degrote
