  • Patent number: 9633472
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer-implemented methods for providing a master model for data about a spatial region. An example method includes identifying a master model associated with a spatial region, the master model including a plurality of pixels, each pixel corresponding to a particular portion of the spatial region and including a length and a width for the particular portion of the spatial region; identifying a data set including values of a physical property of at least a portion of the spatial region for a particular time; determining, based at least in part on the data set, a set of values of the physical property including a value for each pixel in the master model; and storing the set of values of the physical property as a value for each pixel.

  • Patent number: 7092974
    Abstract: The graphic file management system of the present invention provides users with the ability to control the complexity, flow, and quality (performance, ease of use, and scalability) of managing and usage of graphic files across enterprises. In particular, the system of the present invention allows for automated and dynamic repurposing (maintenance, use and manipulation) of large amounts of digital graphic data or files. The system comprises a server which can manipulate graphic files and establishes links to each graphic file, and a database on which the server stores the links. The server can create other formats of a particular graphic file and allows for amendments to graphic files to be tracked.
