  • Patent number: 11970824
    Abstract: Bridge systems and methods for constructing bridges having overhang surfaces employing generally rectangular, precast, prestressed concrete panels. One method includes delivering a plurality of generally rectangular, precast, prestressed concrete panels to an installation site, and delivering one or more support beams to the installation site, each support beam having a support and a base. The concrete panels are positioned on the supports of the one or more support beams with an overhang panel section and a traffic panel section. The concrete panels are then connected to the support beams by positioning steel reinforcement in block outs or voids, pouring unsolidified concrete into the voids, and curing the unsolidified concrete to form an overhang traffic surface. Bridges constructed employing the precast, prestressed concrete panels and methods. Other bridge systems employ prestressed concrete L-walls and double-T members, where weight-bearing L-walls have pockets for webs of the double-T members.

  • Patent number: 11972499
    Abstract: A home cost analysis server is configured to train an image processing program to identify features of homes, receive user input including a prospective home, and access a first database storing metadata and images associated with homes, including the prospective home, available for purchase. The server is also configured to input images of the prospective home to the machine-learned image processing program, which outputs a feature of the prospective home, access a second database storing historical ancillary costs, and perform a lookup in the second database to retrieve comparable historical ancillary costs associated homes having a comparable feature to the outputted feature. The server is further configured to analyze the metadata associated with the prospective home, the outputted feature, and the comparable historical ancillary costs to determine ancillary home costs associated with the prospective home, and display the ancillary home costs and an overall monthly cost for the prospective home.

  • Patent number: 11967406
    Abstract: Methods are provided for the surveillance and monitoring of a patient's medical care when the patient is treated at two or more medical organizations having different medical record systems. Patient information is received from a first medical organization and populated into an active risk assessment array that monitors the patient's risk for developing a particular disease or condition. Patient information is then received from a second medical organization and populated into the array. It is determined that actionable criteria have been met, and in response, a notification or alert is sent to the medical organizations indicating that the patient is at risk.

  • Publication number: 20240096316
    Abstract: A speech-processing system may provide access to one or more virtual assistants via an audio-controlled device. A multi-agent component of a device may be used to coordinate control of device process(es) regardless of the invoked agent and without necessarily sharing information between agents and corresponding speech-processing system(s). Device-state information may be sent from the multi-agent component to a speech-processing system to interpret a user command. If the command relates to a device process control it may be routed to a device skill and to the multi-agent component of the device. The multi-agent component may track a device state and may inform a particular speech-processing system if a process related to the particular speech-processing system has been controlled.

  • Patent number: 11920814
    Abstract: A method of controlling an agricultural facility for housing a plurality of animals includes the step of regulating the environment within the agricultural facility with an automated building operational system. An automated thermal event controller is operationally coupled with the automated building operational system and generates a thermal event signal in response to a thermal event in progress, whereby the automated thermal event controller, upon receipt of the thermal event signal indicating that the thermal event is in progress, activates an alarm state. In the alarm state, the automated thermal event controller: sends an alarm signal to a system administrator; places the automated building operational system in a safety-mode condition for a first predetermined time interval; and places the automated building operational system in a normal-mode operational condition after the first predetermined time interval and if a confirmatory signal is not yet then received from the system administrator.
