  • Patent number: 12254251
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to the export and translation of space models. A computing platform may receive data indicating a request to export a space model to a design tool, and the space model may be defined in a plurality of data formats. In response to receiving the data indicating the request to export the space model to the design tool, the computing platform may generate drawing files based on the space model by: 1) selecting, based on the design tool, a data format, 2) extracting format-specific data from the space model, where the format-specific data is defined in the data format, and 3) generating the drawing files using the format-specific data extracted from the space model, where the drawing files are generated according to the data format. The computing platform may send the drawing files generated based on the space model.

  • Patent number: 12210806
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to geometry model generation. A computing platform may receive a plurality of drawing models corresponding to different space designs. The computing platform may identify a plurality of design parameters associated with each drawing model of the plurality of drawing models corresponding to the different space designs. The computing platform may train a machine learning engine based on the plurality of drawing models corresponding to the different space designs and the plurality of design parameters associated with each drawing model of the plurality of drawing models corresponding to the different space designs, which may produce at least one geometry model corresponding to the plurality of drawing models. The computing platform may store, in a database storing one or more additional geometry models, the at least one geometry model corresponding to the plurality of drawing models.

  • Patent number: 11971581
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a protected cable connector assembly. The protected cable connector assembly includes a cable gland body, a gland nut, a grommet, an optical fibre cable, a protected connector and a protective grip. The cable gland body includes a first threaded portion, a second threaded portion and an unthreaded portion. The gland nut includes internal threads. In addition, the internal threads of the gland nut engage with threads of the first threaded portion of the cable gland body. Further, a total length of the gland nut is about 17.87 millimeters. The grommet is positioned partially inside the cable gland body. The protected cable connector enables the optical fibre cable to terminate into an optical fibre distribution box.
