  • Publication number: 20250166155
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using computer vision methods for asset evaluation. A computing platform may receive historical images of a plurality of properties and corresponding historical inspection results. Using the historical images and historical inspection results, the computing platform may train a roof waiver model (which may be a computer vision model) to output inspection prediction information directly from an image. The computing platform may receive a new image corresponding to a particular residential property. Using the roof waiver model, the computing platform may analyze the new image to output of a likelihood of passing inspection. The computing platform may send, to a user device and based on the likelihood of passing inspection, inspection information indicating whether or not a physical inspection should be performed and directing the user device to display the inspection information, which may cause the user device to display the inspection information.

  • Patent number: 12051114
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using computer vision methods to forecast damage. A computing platform may receive historical images comprising aerial images of residential properties and historical loss data corresponding to the residential properties. Using the historical images and the historical loss data, the computing platform may train a computer vision model, which may configure the computer vision model to output loss prediction information directly from an image. The computing platform may receive a new image corresponding to a particular residential property, and may analyze the new image, using the computer vision model, which may directly result in a likelihood of damage score. Based on the likelihood of damage score, the computing platform may send likelihood of damage information and one or more commands directing a user device to display the likelihood of damage information, which may cause the user device to display the likelihood of damage information.

  • Publication number: 20210392833
    Abstract: A container gardening structure has a grow tray with multiple growing stations that extend a radially from a central point of the grow tray. A light fixture has multiple lighting elements disposed above the grow tray to radiate light to the grow tray and extending outwardly from a central axis for the light fixture, with the central axis extending upward from the grow tray through the grow tray central point, and the lighting elements extend along the light fixture such that a distance from lighting elements to the grow tray increases in length from a lowest lighting element to a highest lighting element. The light fixture and grow tray move relative to each other such that the growing stations are moved away from lights that are disposed closer to the grow tray and toward lights that are disposed further from the grow tray.

  • Patent number: 9484624
    Abstract: A reflection controller for modifying electromagnetic reflections from a surface includes a conducting patch being positioned proximate to an electromagnetically reflecting surface. The floating conducting patch includes an electrical conductor at a floating potential positioned on a dielectric substrate where at least one of a dielectric thickness, dielectric constant, or the dimensions of the electrical conductor are chosen to reduces retro-reflection of incident radiation.

  • Patent number: 8868006
    Abstract: A bi-directional signal interface includes a first waveguide that propagates a first traveling wave. The first waveguide has one end that is coupled to a RF input port that receives a RF transmission signal and another end that is coupled to a RF bi-directional port that receives a RF reception signal and that transmits the RF transmission signal. A second waveguide is positioned proximate to the first waveguide. The second waveguide has one end that is coupled to an output port that passes the received RF reception signal. A non-reciprocal coupler couples fields from the first waveguide to the second waveguide so that the RF reception signal from the bi-directional port couples from the first waveguide to the second waveguide in a substantially non-reciprocal manner and then passes through the output port, and the RF transmission signal from the RF input port passes through the first waveguide to the RF bi-directional port.

  • Patent number: 8433163
    Abstract: A bi-directional signal interface includes a carrier signal source that generates a carrier traveling wave at an output. A first traveling wave structure includes a first and a second waveguide having an input that is coupled to the output of the carrier signal source. The first and second waveguide propagate the carrier traveling wave. A second traveling wave structure includes an outgoing signal port that receives an outgoing signal and a bi-directional signal port that receives an incoming electrical signal and provides the outgoing signal. The first and second traveling wave structures have an electromagnetic interaction region with a geometry that is chosen for a desired outgoing-to-incoming signal isolation. A detector having an input coupled to the output of the first traveling wave structure generates an electrical signal related to the incoming electrical signal.

  • Publication number: 20110287720
    Abstract: A signal canceller includes a dual-drive electro-optic modulator having separate first and second electrical inputs. The first electrical input is coupled to a first portion of a first signal and the second electrical input is coupled to a second signal and to a second portion of the first signal. A laser generates an optical beam that propagates from the optical input to an optical output of the electro-optic modulator. The dual-drive electro-optic modulator modulates the optical beam with the first and second portions of the first signal and with the second signal. The modulation cancels at least some the first signal and generates a modulation signal with reduced first signal modulation component.
