  • Patent number: 12320257
    Abstract: An aggregate slinger for an underground void stabilization system, the aggregate slinger comprising a vertically extending shaft and a number of dispersing members. The vertically extending shaft is inserted through a ground hole into an underground void and rotated about a vertical axis in the ground hole. The dispersing members are configured to extend radially from a lower end of the vertically extending shaft in the underground void so that the dispersing members radially spread aggregate descending into the underground void from the ground hole to form a radially enlarged support column of aggregate in the underground void.

  • Publication number: 20240207287
    Abstract: Biocompatible microparticles include an ophthalmically active cyclic lipid component and a biodegradable polymer that is effective, when placed into the subconjunctival space, in facilitating release of the cyclic lipid component into the anterior and posterior segments of an eye for an extended period of time. The cyclic lipid component can be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. Or, the cyclic lipid component can be encapsulated by the polymeric component. The present microparticles include oil-in-water emulsified microparticles. The subconjunctivally administered microparticles can be used to treat or to reduce at least one symptom of an ocular condition, such as glaucoma or age related macular degeneration.

  • Publication number: 20240078359
    Abstract: Apparatus operative via executable software to quantify building metrics using artificial intelligence analysis of a design plan. 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 is used to 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 enforcing fire safety and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

  • Patent number: 11797733
    Abstract: Artificial Intelligence systems receive two dimensional design plans (e.g., physical, or electronic documents) that are processed to mimic the perception, learning, problem-solving, and decision-making formerly performed by human workers assessing the design plans for compliance with an applicable code. AI analysis converts vector images into patterns that are conducive to machine learning and generates a dynamic interface that allows a user to interact with the AI findings. The AI assesses 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 enforcing fire safety and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

  • Patent number: 11461310
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for performing by a node of a network of nodes for maintaining at least part of a distributed ledger maintained by the network of nodes is described. The method comprises maintaining at least part of the distributed ledger. The at least part of the distributed ledger is configured to store records and associated verification data for the records. The verification data for a record identifies: (i) a sequence of nodes in the network which received the intended record during a verification procedure; and (ii) the respective event state assigned by each node of the sequence of nodes to the intended record during the verification procedure.
