Patent number: 11948200Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating current roof conditions and potential underwriting risk using insurance claim data. Historical claims for confirmed weather-damaged homes may be clustered by claims stemming from one or more weather events to determine potential areas where damage has occurred, but a claim has not yet been filed. In certain implementation, claims for weather-related vehicle damage may be utilized to predict weather-related roof damage.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Prasanth Kambhatla, John Beal, George Hosfield, Veli-Heikki Vesanto, Daniel Bang

Patent number: 11809810Abstract: Techniques are described for optimizing the display of hierarchically organized data by dynamically rendering portions visible within a display area of a web browser. Using a web page file corresponding to a web page that includes the display of a visual tree structure representing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data and client-side executable logic, an application running at the client device displays the web page including the visual tree structure and one or more first tree nodes corresponding to first JSON objects from a first portion of the JSON data. In response to input requesting display of one or more second JSON objects from a second portion of the JSON data not currently displayed in the visual tree structure, the application modifies one or more elements of the web page to update display of the visual tree structure to include one or more second tree nodes corresponding to the second JSON objects.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Trenton John Beals, Nuri Amari

Patent number: 11734008Abstract: Examples described herein relate to customization of courses of action for responding to incidents in information technology (IT) environments. An incident management service executes incident response monitoring, identification and remediation across an IT environment for one or more entities that may have their own configuration of computing assets (computing environment) within the IT environment. A course of action outlines remediation actions for responding to specific types of incidents within an IT environment. A course of action is customized for implementation within a particular computing environment associated with an entity. Customization of a course of action comprises generation and implementation of sets of instructions that are usable to tailor remedial actions for execution in computing environments of different entities.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Trenton John Beals, Glenn Gallien, Govind Salinas, Sourabh Satish

Patent number: 10214889Abstract: An in-toilet leak detector is disclosed, as are communication systems for reporting toilet leaks. The leak detector comprises an inlet that receives water from the toilet's fill tube and diverts it through a flow tube. A capacitive sensor is located between the inlet and an opening of the flow tube from which water flows into the overflow tube of the toilet tank. A housing is connected to the flow tube and the inlet and contains a controller and other electronics, including one or more transceivers. The leak detector measures the duration of water flow and establishes an alert if the water flow is shorter or longer in duration than a calibrated normal duration. The transceivers connect the leak detector to a computer network, and leak alerts are communicated to a server or servers so that they can be forwarded directly to those responsible for fixing the toilets.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Leak Beeper, LLCInventors: James A Brackett, Sr., John Beal, Timothy Bottger

Patent number: 9983024Abstract: Certain embodiments include receiving load data from an energy generation (EG) system, where the load data is provided by a load meter, and where the load data corresponds to a predetermined time period. The predetermined time period may be during peak daylight hours (e.g., between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M). The method includes receiving EG data from the EG system, where the EG data corresponds to EG generation by an EG circuit over the predetermined time period, and determining if an inverse relationship exists between the load data and EG data. The method includes determining that the load meter is installed upstream from the EG circuit if an inverse relationship between the load data and EG data exists, and determining that the load mater is installed downstream from the EG circuit if an inverse relationship between the load data and EG data does not exist.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: SolarCity CorporationInventors: Eric Daniel Carlson, Trenton John Beals, Jean Elizabeth Theurer
