Patent number: 10753729Abstract: A device for detecting and determining deformations on a structure surface containing diffractive stress indicator elements comprises a portable computing device having a camera, a processor, a memory, and a display screen, and a casing for conformably enclosing the portable computing device. In one embodiment, the casing includes an elongated light source, a first window positioned to provide access to the display screen of the portable computing device, and a second window positioned to allowing the light source to emit a band of light outside of the casing, and a port hole aligned with the camera of the portable computing device. When the device is positioned proximate to the structure, the elongated light source emits a band of illumination onto the diffractive stress indicator elements, the diffractive elements diffract the emitted radiation and the camera of the portable computing device receives at least a portion of the diffracted radiation.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignees: Saudi Arabian Oil Company, BlueBridge Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Enrico Bovero, Hawraa Bin Saad, Timothy Briggs, Daniel Linehan

Publication number: 20200149297Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods, devices and systems for insulation, e.g., of cavities associated with walls, ceilings, floors and other building structures, with foam insulation. In one aspect, the disclosure provides a method for providing a cavity of a building with a predetermined amount of foam insulation. The method includes actuating a valve to begin dispensing foam insulation into the cavity, the actuation being performed by a user, the actuation by the user fixing a start time and/or a zero volume of a time and/or volume meter; then, dispensing the foam insulation from the insulation dispenser into the cavity as the time and/or volume meter counts time and/or volume dispensed; then when a predetermined time after the start time elapses or a predetermined volume of the foam insulation beyond the zero volume is dispensed as measured by the time and/or volume meter, actuating the valve to stop dispensing the foam insulation into the cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2019Publication date: May 14, 2020Inventors: Sizhu You, Dennis Michaud, Jerome Arul, Timothy Briggs, Kyle Pina, Jonathan Wilson, Douglas Lamm, Amy Potts, Derek Riemer, Nick Casco, Mitch Brosnan, Denise Andreozzi
