  • Patent number: 12289519
    Abstract: A package in which an onboard computing system and a plurality of sensor devices are embedded. The package includes a plurality of cameras that are positioned against sidewalls of the package in order to capture image data of the external environment. When the computing system determines the package has arrived at a predesignated set of coordinates corresponding to a target property for which an appraisal is to be performed, the cameras are activated and begin collecting image data. The image data is transmitted to a remote server which will store the image data for review by insurance personnel.

  • Patent number: 9113858
    Abstract: Devices and systems are described for treating intraluminal locations such as in a patient's lung. The device has an elongated shaft with an inner lumen, preferably defined by an inner tubular member, formed of heat resistant polymeric materials such as polyimide. The device also has an outer surface formed of heat resistant material. High temperature vapor is directed through the inner lumen into the intraluminal location to treat tissue at and distal to the location. An enlarged or enlargeable member, such as a balloon, is provided on a distal portion of the shaft to prevent proximal flow of the high temperature vapor upon discharge from the device.

  • Patent number: 8922458
    Abstract: A system and method distributes data and power in a robust manner for a large scale LED display. Master modules of the display are capable of receiving a data stream on any one of four data ports. The master modules extract the data for its module and an associated group of slave modules from a data stream received on one port and send the received data stream to three other master modules via the other three data ports. Unregulated D.C. power is distributed from one or more power hubs to the master modules which in turn distribute regulated D.C. power to their associated slave modules.

  • Publication number: 20100036847
    Abstract: A method of validating XML data comprises (a) registering a plurality of validators that are each responsible for validating a certain XML set of rules, (b) creating common XML data structures to be shared between the validators, (c) invoking registered validators and granting access to common XML data structures, and (d) reporting validation results for each of the validators. Two or more validators having similar pattern validation structures may share the common XML data structure of a data builder. Furthermore, the validators may be invoked in the order in which they are registered in step (a) and granted access to the common XML data structures that are built in step (b). In addition, the step of reporting the validation results may include formatting the validation results as error messages generated by each validator and outputting the error messages via an outputter.
