Patents by Inventor David C. HENSON

David C. HENSON has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20220129797
    Abstract: Example embodiments provide systems and methods for formulating and evaluating a construction composition (such as a mixture for concrete, asphalt, mortar, etc.). According to exemplary embodiments, a predictive model, artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithm, etc., may be trained using historical performance data and current deployment information. Based on a job specification that identifies various requirements for the construction composition and a set of available inputs (e.g., raw materials, mixing techniques, etc.), the model, AI, or algorithm, may output one or more formulations that meet or best approximate the requirements. The formulations may be provided to a simulation to estimate or predict their performance. The performance characteristics of the output formulation(s) may be displayed. Optionally, the system may control mixing machinery to produce the formulation.

  • Publication number: 20220119318
    Abstract: Example embodiments provide systems and methods for performing quality control of a construction composition. According to exemplary embodiments, a predictive model, artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithm, etc., may be trained using historical performance data and current deployment information. Based on a job specification that identifies various requirements for the construction composition and a set of available inputs, the AI/ML/model may output one or more formulations that meet or best approximate the requirements, and an initial batch of the construction composition may be produced. During or after deployment of the construction composition, information about the composition's performance may be received and applied to the AI/ML/model. The system may make real-time updates to the construction composition to improve the consistency or performance of the construction composition, within predefined acceptable change parameters.
