  • Patent number: 12235639
    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for unmanned aerial vehicle flight for performing an inspection of land, property, structures or other objects. Automated aerial surveys allow a UAV to obtain aerial data without human manual control of a UAV. For certain aerial surveys, a UAV is not capable of completing the survey without refueling, or exchanging out used batteries for fresh batteries. For such aerial surveys, a method and system is needed to allow an operator to automatically perform an aerial survey while determining battery usage and replacement. Also, in circumstances where manual control of the UAV is needed, contingency-based software controls may be needed.

  • Patent number: 12079567
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems to generate and display interactive graphical user interfaces that receive data inputs from users while emulating a chat session. A server retrieves a set of prompts associated with an electronic form; displays, within a webpage, a first element corresponding to a prompt and a second element having at least one input element configured to receive an input from a user interacting with the webpage. When the user interacts with an input element, the server relocates the first element and dynamically revises the second element by relocating the second element and displaying inputted values received from the user interacting with the at least one input element of the second element. The server then displays a third element comprising next prompts of the electronic form.

  • Patent number: 5244008
    Abstract: A valve lockout assembly for preventing mistaken operation of a valve includes an outer hub and an inner collar that are concentrically disposed about the actuating shaft of a valve. The outer hub engages the valve cover which prevents the hub's rotation. The inner collar, which is coupled to the actuating shaft, is also coupled to the hub at selected angular positions corresponding to fully opened and closed positions of the valve.
