Patent number: 11971946Abstract: Real time, on demand rendered image delivery may be provided using one or more local image servers, image stores corresponding to the local image servers, one or more rendering servers, and a global image store. When a request for an image of three dimensional object is provided to a local image server, that server may respond to the request by determining if is present in its corresponding local image store. If it is not, then the local image server may obtain the image, store it in its corresponding local image store, and then return it. The one or more rendering servers may respond to messages indicating that one or the local image servers are obtaining an image by generating that image based on rendering it using special purpose rendering hardware, storing it in the global image store, and sending a completion message indicating that the requested image had been generated.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: VORA VENTURES, LLCInventors: Chris Beard, Brian Powell

Publication number: 20230014327Abstract: A delivery device delivers a compression plate to a fracture line in a bone. The delivery device includes a body that retains the compression plate in a strained condition, the body including a proximal end, a distal end, and a first beam. The delivery device also includes a cover plate attached to and moveable relative to the body, the cover plate including a second beam. A space is defined between the first beam and the second beam that receives the compression plate. The delivery device also includes a compression clip that retains the compression plate in the space.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Dan Morgan, Matthew Palmer, Matthew Fonte, Robert Devaney, Zachary Day, Chris Powell

Patent number: 11169975Abstract: A recognition quality management system and method is used to determine a final group quality grade (FGQG) for a database containing data structures pertaining to objects, where the FGQG is a single numeric score indicative of the quality of the recognition that has occurred within the database. The FGQG is calculated using a weighted algorithm incorporating at least three components: a string quality score (SQS) that is determined by a string distance calculation; an input quality score (IQS) that is determined from address confidence codes; and a link quality score (LQS) that evaluates a key field to determine grouping quality. The system and method allows for the determination of recognition quality across an entire database rather than using sampling and extrapolation, and thus leads to a higher quality result, and because the system and method is objective it allows comparison of recognition quality across competing recognition quality solutions.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2017Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Acxiom LLCInventors: Chris Powell, John Tindell, Brandy Walsh, Sarah Davis
