Abstract: Methods and apparatus operative to quantify building metrics using artificial intelligence analysis of a design plan and apply the quantified building metrics to smoke control practices. A design plan is represented using multiple dynamic components. Each dynamic component may include a parameter changeable via the user interactive interface. The dynamic components may be arranged in a user interactive interface to form a first set of boundaries, including a respective length and area, and defining at least a portion of a first unit. AI may determine a longest path of egress and a supportable occupancy load that may be used to determine compliance with parameters of a given code. The AI may assess whether a building described in the design plans complies with a relevant code set forth by an authority having jurisdiction. Codes may include, for example, codes relating to smoke control and fire safety.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing fixed-layout display components embedded as part of a screen display of a device. In preferred embodiments, fixed-layout components may be utilized and managed independently of the remaining programmatically generated screen display functionality. A fixed-layout component may comprise a plurality of elements and be associated with user interactivities. Each element may be related positionally, dimensionally and display sequence to an overall component and to other elements comprised such that a computed relative position, size and dimension aspect ratio of component items and the item display sequence is maintained programmatically and visually relative to each other irrespective of a screen size or orientation when the fixed-layout component is part of an overall display of a device. The fixed-layout elements may further be operable to display dynamic data which may be logically associated with data comprised within the overall fixed-layout component.

Abstract: A marine navigation compass-protractor having a transparent base and a three-hundred sixty degree (360°) directional scale on a top surface is disclosed. The transparent base allows it to be placed on a map while still viewing map details. The center of the compass protractor has a plurality of rotating arms that numerically depict the direction and engine thrust characteristics of marine vessels jointly performing navigational tasks. Another arm provides a bearing/heading indication. The marine navigation compass-protractor enables an operator of a marine vessel better perform navigational decisions.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided for pumping operations that may be used to form perforations in the casing of a well, clean perforations and drill drain holes through perforations. A plunger is placed in a reference perforation and the pumping operations may be performed through a nozzle at a known location with respect to the reference perforation. The nozzle may be attached to a flexible hose to drill a drain hole or may be inserted in a body on the bottom of a tubing string. Addition apparatus and method are provided to insure that the plunger or plungers are maintained in a reference perforation or perforations when pumping operations are carried out through tubing.
