  • Patent number: 11188986
    Abstract: Rooms, structures, vehicles, and other objects can be accurately diagrammed, often without performing a physical on-site inspection. Photographs of a room, structure, vehicle, or other object are uploaded to a computer having a processor. A base calibration measure is determined for a room, structure, vehicle, object, or component thereof, depicted in the photographs using at least one known dimension for items observable in the photographs. The base calibration measure is then used to determine dimensions of other areas, items, or objects depicted in such photographs, and to create at least one scale diagram of the subject matter of the photographs. Damages areas of the structure/vehicle/object can be assessed from the scale diagram. The scale diagram can then be used to calculate appropriate insurance payment amounts for damage claims.

  • Publication number: 20060180346
    Abstract: The drilling and plating of high aspect ratio blind via holes in a multilayer printed circuit board are disclosed. A via hole is drilled through a sub-composite structure. The walls of the via hole are plated with a conductive material, and the hole is filled with a conductive medium. The sub-composite structure proceeds through the remainder of the processing that is necessary to manufacture the printed circuit board up to the completion of the solder mask step. The conductive medium of the via hole is drilled out to achieve a hole size that is of the desired diameter as required by the printed circuit board design.
