Patent number: 12281518Abstract: Composite door systems are provided for use in a protective barrier structure. The composite door systems provide for quick assembly, safety, security, and resistance to physical impacts or threats. The composite door systems may include a shell and a core that can be factory completed or finished on site. The shell may be shipped to the assembly location of the barrier structure, and the core may be formed on site by pouring liquid fill material into a cavity of the shell, which is allowed to cure into a solid fill material. Hardware housings may be operatively coupled to the shell that are made to receive door hardware but resist the liquid full material from filling the hardware housings. The shell, core, and/or hardware housings may provide resistance to damage, such as projectiles to provide enhanced security protection to the occupants or contents of the building structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2023Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: AADG, INC.Inventor: Daniel Brian Glover

Patent number: 12282868Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of assessing driving performance using route scoring, driving data indicative of operation of a vehicle while the vehicle was driven on a driving route may be received. Road infrastructure data indicative of one or more features of the driving route may also be received. A route score for the driving route may be calculated using the road infrastructure data, and a driving performance score for a driver of the vehicle may be calculated using the driving data and the route score for the driving route. Data may be sent to a client device via a network to cause the client device to display the driving performance score and/or a ranking based on the driving performance score, and/or the driving performance score may be used to determine a risk rating for the driver of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Brian Mark Fields, J.

Patent number: 12282899Abstract: A job matching algorithm improves matching a job opening profile to a job-seeker with accuracy and efficiency by breaking down the job opening profile into a data model of standard codes. Job criteria are abstracted as attributes into at least categories of qualifications and characteristics, having an associated assigned weight. Job-seeker profile's corresponding attributes in qualifications and characteristics are multi-dimensionally mapped to those in the job opening profile to calculate an overall score against a threshold score for successful matching. The job-seeker's profile and the job opening's profile may also be re-matched using an elastic analysis to model job seeker's strengths and growth potential for a same or a different job, through adjusting individual weights of each attribute of the qualifications and characteristics of one or both of the job-seeker's profile and the job opening profile to predict risks or successes for the job-seeker in taking the job opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: The Unify ProjectInventors: Stephen J.

Patent number: 12281957Abstract: Acoustic optical integrity detection system architectures and methods can be used to detect optical integrity of an optical component by detecting a discontinuity on and/or in the optical component (e.g., on the optical surface and/or within the bulk of the optical component). In some examples, integrity detection can be used to ensure safety compliance of an optical system, optionally including a laser. Acoustic integrity detection can utilize transducers (e.g., piezoelectric transducers) to transmit ultrasonic waves along an optical surface and/or through the thickness of an optical component. A discontinuity of the optical surface can interact with the transmitted wave causing attenuation, redirection and/or reflection of at least a portion of the transmitted wave. Portions of the transmitted wave energy after interaction with the discontinuity can be measured to determine discontinuity location, type, and/or severity.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael K.

Patent number: 12282604Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing a touch-based augmented reality (AR) experience. During a capture phase, a first user may grip an object. An intensity of a force applied on the object in the grip and/or a duration of the grip may be recorded. A volumetric representation of the first user holding the object may also be captured. During an experience phase, a second user may touch the object, the object may provide haptic feedback (e.g., a vibration) to the second user at an intensity and a duration corresponding to an intensity of the force applied on the object and a duration of the grip of the object. If a volumetric representation of the first user holding the object is captured, touching the object may also cause a presentation of the first user's volumetric body that holds the object.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Rajan Vaish, Sven Kratz, Andrés Monroy-Hernández, Brian Anthony Smith
