  • Patent number: 11922509
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting, extracting, and categorizing structure data from aerial imagery following a major weather event are provided. The system processes digital images and weather data to automatically detect, extract, and categorize structure data following a major weather event. After receiving an indication of a region of interest (“ROI”) from a user, the system retrieves weather mapping data for the ROI and retrieves information related to attributes of structures within the ROI from a machine learning subsystem. The system then cross-references the property data, the weather data, and the structure attributes and assigns a risk rating to the structures within the ROI. Finally, the system generates and delivers a data package to the user.

  • Patent number: 5690301
    Abstract: A Stud Mounted Reel Support System for facilitating efficient spooling of wire from a wire spool by removably attaching to a conventional stud without a fastener inserted thereby elevating the wire spool off of the floor increasing the workable surface area of the floor. The inventive device includes an upper cuff secured around the rear edge of the conventional stud, a connecting bar secured at one end to the upper cuff, a lower cuff secured around the front edge of the conventional stud and secured to the end of the connecting bar opposite of the upper cuff thereby firmly gripping the conventional stud, a horizontal cantilever arm secured at one end to the lower cuff and where a wire reel rotatably surrounds the horizontal cantilever arm, and a flange at the tip of the horizontal cantilever arm thereby retaining the wire reel in position during rotation.
