Abstract: A method of determining a physical location for an address. The method includes receiving from a first global positioning system on a vehicle a first set of global positioning data indicative of a vehicle location. The method may also receive from a second global positioning system on a portable electronic device a second set of global positioning data indicative of a portable electronic device location. The method may also receive a set of location metadata associated with a picture. The method determines a residence location from the first set of global positioning data, the second set of global positioning data, or the set of location metadata. The method then associates the physical location to the address.

Abstract: A fire suppressing insulation. This insulation will create a barrier that blocks a fire to protect a structure from damage and will assist in suppressing the fire. Also, a fire suppression system including two walls, such as an interior wall and an exterior wall or two interior walls. The walls are spaced apart from each other by a divider to define an interior volume. At least a portion of the interior volume includes fire suppressing insulation that will form a fire suppressing intumescent barrier between the walls when exposed to the heat of a fire.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include at least one building component detection sensor device configured to be deployed within (or proximate to) a building comprised of a plurality of building components. The at least one building component detection sensor device is configured to detect data relating to at least one building component of the plurality of building components. In addition, a building component property determination system includes a processor configured to execute instructions stored in memory to determine one or more properties of the at least one building component based at least in part on the data detected by the at least one building component detection sensor device.

Abstract: A system for dispensing flame retardant foam on the exterior of a structure. The structure has an opening that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto the roof. The system includes a foam distribution system having a foam expansion chamber and a roof plenum for delivery through the roof opening. Foam solution and compressed air are combined in a conduit and supplied to the foam expansion chamber. The structure may have at least one wall. In that case, the system may have a wall plenum for delivery of flame retardant foam from the foam expansion chamber through a first wall-associated opening. Each such wall will have an opening associated with the wall that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto that wall.

Abstract: A system may include a router that may receive a plurality of data packets from one or more devices that communicatively couples to the router. The system may also include at least one processor that identifies an identity of a device based on a data packet received by the router from the device, generate an insurance policy that includes the device in response to identifying the identity of the device, and sends a notification indicative of the insurance policy to a computing device in response to generating the insurance policy.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device, method, and system for presenting marketable information stored in a database of a remote server. The remote server provides a web page via a network. The web page includes a module that scrolls marketable information from a database where the marketable information corresponds to an identity of the use requesting the web page. The system includes a subscriber computing device that receives a web page via the network. The subscriber computing device includes a display device that displays the web page along with the scrolling marketable information in the module. The subscriber computing device can provide a request and information to purchase an item associated with the marketable information that was presented by the module in the web page. The remote server can process the request and information to purchase an item corresponding to the marketable information requested by the subscriber computing device.

Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal display (FLCD), which comprises a cell including a layer of chiral smetic ferroelectric liquid crystal material contained between two substrates and at least one alignment layer for determining the surface alignment of the molecules in the liquid crystal material, is manufactured as follows. After selection of a suitable material for the alignment layer, the cell is filled by introducing liquid crystal material between the substrates to which the alignment layer is applied. After filling of the cell, a heat treatment is applied to the cell by raising the cell to an elevated temperature and maintaining the cell at that temperature for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: In order to promote the formation of the C2 state during manufacturing of a ferroelectric liquid crystal display comprising a cell including a layer of chiral smectic ferroelectric liquid crystal material contained between two substrates. The manufacturing method includes the steps of (a) heating the liquid crystal material and (b) whilst allowing the liquid crystal material to cool from an elevated temperature, which is close to the phase transition temperature to the chiral smectic phase, allowing pressure to the liquid crystal material within the cell by means of rollers in such a manner as to produce mass flow of liquid crystal material within the cell so that the liquid crystal material preferentially adopts the C2 state on cooling to the device operating temperature. This avoids formation of both the C1 and C2 states in the manufactured display which would otherwise result in a patchy appearance, and allows faster switching at lower voltages.
