  • Patent number: 11966555
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for measuring a workspace is provided. The method includes capturing a workspace that is virtually represented on a user interface display of a computing apparatus that image-captured the workspace. The user inputs, via the user interface, a value of a known measurement of a length represented in the virtual workspace. Through the user interface, along the virtual workspace, the user identifies virtual end boundary points of the length associated with the known measurement. The user then defines a defined space within the virtual workspace by placing additional virtual boundary points. The system calibrates from the inputted value and the virtual end boundary points of the known measurement all the remaining measurements of the surface area, which can be used to render a map display and calculate surface area, volume, or any other geometric aspects of the defined space.

  • Patent number: 11223704
    Abstract: In server/client architectures, the server application and client applications are often developed in different languages and execute in different environments specialized for the different contexts of each application (e.g., low-level, performant, platform-specialized, and stateless instructions on the server, and high-level, flexible, platform-agnostic, and stateful languages on the client) and are often executed on different devices. Convergence of these environments (e.g., server-side JavaScript using Node.js) enables the provision of a server that services client applications executing on the same device. The local server may monitor local events occurring on the device, and may execute one or more server scripts associated with particular local events on behalf of local clients subscribing to the local event (e.g., via a subscription model).

  • Patent number: 10908285
    Abstract: This disclosure describes an automated mobile vehicle that includes one or more distance determining elements configured to detect the presence of objects and to cause the automated mobile vehicle to alter its path to avoid the object. For example, a distance determining element may be incorporated into one or more of the motors of the automated mobile vehicle and configured to determine a distance to an object. Based on the determined distance, a path of the automated mobile vehicle may be altered.

  • Patent number: 10346789
    Abstract: Described is an airborne fulfillment center (“AFC”) and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”) to deliver items from the AFC to users. For example, the AFC may be an airship that remains at a high altitude (e.g., 45,000 feet) and UAVs with ordered items may be deployed from the AFC to deliver ordered items to user designated delivery locations. As the UAVs descend, they can navigate horizontally toward a user specified delivery location using little to no power, other than to stabilize the UAV and/or guide the direction of descent. Shuttles (smaller airships) may be used to replenish the AFC with inventory, UAVs, supplies, fuel, etc. Likewise, the shuttles may be utilized to transport workers to and from the AFC.
