  • Patent number: 10938960
    Abstract: A communication method and system configured to facilitate integration of complex automation systems composed of disparate components that may run with different processes are distributed over a network or are embedded devices. The system/method allows for a client to rapidly access functionality exposed by a service within a client-service system employing a distributed application structure utilizing an augmented object-oriented model of multiple member types. The system/method allows interconnected nodes to communicate through message passing and remote procedure calling so as to reduce latency within a system composed of distributed resources.

  • Patent number: 10850440
    Abstract: This invention relates to a roofing, cladding, or siding module, comprising an underlapping region extending from a head edge of the module and an exposed region extending from a foot edge of the module. The length of the foot edge defining the length of the module. The underlapping region is adapted to be substantially covered by the exposed region of an adjacent or overlapping module when installed on a building surface. The module is formed of at least one layer of extruded material. The layer so formed comprises at least 40% w/w filler and/or reinforcement, and one or more polymer(s).
