Publication number: 20240004680Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for CPU core off-parking. In one example implementation, a performance test is executed for a CPU core that is part of a first mapping of virtual processors to logical CPU cores. A set of performance indicators is received for the CPU core. Based on the set of performance indicators, a determination is made regarding whether to off-park the CPU core. If it is determined that the CPU core is to be off-parked, a second mapping of virtual processors to logical CPU cores is created, where the CPU core to be off-parked is not part of the second mapping. The second mapping is then implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter JIANG, Drew CROSS, Taylor Marie POTHAST, Bruce J.

Publication number: 20230252579Abstract: A damage assessment module operating on a computer system automatically evaluates a roof, estimating damage to the roof by analyzing a point cloud of a roof. The damage assessment module identifies individual shingles from the point cloud and detects potentially damaged areas on each of the shingles. The damage assessment module then maps the potentially damaged areas of each shingle back to the point cloud to determine which areas of the roof are damaged. Based on the estimation, the damage assessment module generates a report on the roof damage.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Bryan Allen Plummer, Drew Cross, Nathan L.

Publication number: 20230196475Abstract: A damage assessment module operating on a computer system automatically evaluates a property, estimating damage to the property by analyzing a point cloud of a property. The damage assessment module identifies individual point clusters or segments from the point cloud and detects potentially damaged areas of the property surface by identifying outlier points in the point clusters. The damage assessment module may be used to determine the financial cost of the damage and/or determine whether the property should be replaced or repaired. In addition to eliminating the need for an estimator to visit the property in person, the damage assessment module improves the consistency and accuracy associated with estimating damage to a property.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Bryan Allen Plummer, Drew Cross, Nathan L.

Patent number: 9098655Abstract: A damage assessment module operating on a computer system generating a model undamaged roof shingle includes using a method based on the average nearest-neighbor distance. The damage assessment module identifies a set of points comprising a first point cloud representing a first shingle and a set of points from a second point cloud representing a second shingle. The damage assessment module then calculates an average nearest-neighbor distance for the set of points. Based on the average, the damage assessment module calculates a threshold distance. The damage assessment module then stores the set of points to memory as a point cloud representing a model roof shingle that can be later retrieved and compared to point clouds of individual shingles. The damage assessment module improves the consistency and accuracy associated with assessment of the roof and eliminates the need for the estimator to use subjective assessment results, which can be inadequate.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Bryan Allen Plummer, Drew Cross, Nathan L.
