Patent number: 11655597Abstract: A pavement composition includes a recycled hot mix asphalt (HMA) sheet mix composition including more than 50% and up to 100% recycled fines mixed with a rejuvenating agent. The recycled fines of the HMA sheet mix are separated from a reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) composition and substantially all of the recycled fines are capable of passing through a sieve having an opening size of ? inch (9.5 mm). Pavement systems include an existing pavement layer and a thin-lift overlay made of the recycled HMA sheet mix on the existing pavement layer. Pavement systems also include a three-layer system including a leveling course layer, an interlayer, and a surface course layer in which the leveling course layer and/or the surface course layer include a recycled HMA sheet mix composition.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: MANHOLE ADJUSTING INC.Inventor: John Corcoran

Publication number: 20180011898Abstract: Disclosed is a computer implemented data collection method and system. In one aspect the method includes: transferring a message indicative of a form question of a form via a communication service for presentation in a conversational format upon a data entry processing system; receiving, via the communication service, a response in a conversational format from the user operating the data entry processing system; attempting to interpret the response using an expert system; in the event that the response data is interpreted as an answer, recording the answer as part of form instance data; and in the event that the response cannot be interpreted by the expert system, facilitating a data collection user to conduct a portion of the data collection session via the data collection processing system, wherein input is subsequently received from the data collection user to continue interpreting further responses during the form collection session.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2016Publication date: January 11, 2018Applicant: AVOKA TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTDInventors: Derek John CORCORAN, Willem Jeroen SWIEBEL, Parth PANDYA
