  • Publication number: 20230068511
    Abstract: A method includes evaluating a transaction using a first swarm member to generate a first cooperative prediction related to the transaction. The first cooperative prediction is based, at least in part, on a first affinity value of the first swarm member to one or more other swarm members. The method also includes evaluating the transaction using a second swarm member to arrive at a second cooperative prediction related to the transaction. The second cooperative prediction is based, at least in part, on a second affinity of the second swarm member to one or more other swarm members. A swarm prediction related to the transaction is generated based on both the first cooperative prediction and the second cooperative prediction.

  • Patent number: 10954982
    Abstract: A construction nailing screw is configured to be used in like manner as traditional nails but rotate during driving through threading, providing retention of the construction nailing screw in the construction material(s), and the ability to be removed from the construction material(s) by reverse rotation. The construction nailing screw is characterized by a shank with a head on one longitudinal end, and a tip on another longitudinal end, with external threading that provides minimal friction during installation and mild resistance during removal, and two cutouts extending along the exterior of the shank and through the external threading. The head allows both a manual installation tool and an automatic installation tool to strike the head and drive (install) the nailing screw. The external threading has an upper side with a high pitch relative to the longitudinal axis of the shank, and a lower side with a low pitch relative to the longitudinal axis of the shank.

  • Patent number: 10817626
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to design-model management associated with an architectural layout. A set of architectural objects may be ingested from a data source. In response to ingesting the set of architectural objects, a set of spatial zones may be determined. The determination can be made based on the ingestion of the set of architectural objects. In response to determining the set of spatial zones, a design-model of the architectural layout may be established. The establishment of the design-model can be based on the set of spatial zones.

  • Patent number: 10685148
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to managing a set of spatial zones associated with an architectural layout. A first spatial zone of the set of spatial zones is detected. The first spatial zone has a first spatial zone size value. By comparing the first spatial zone size value with a threshold spatial zone size value, it is determined to convert the first spatial zone. Based on proximity, a group of conversion candidates is identified from the set of spatial zones. Based on the first spatial zone and the group of conversion candidates, a second spatial zone is determined using an architectural criterion. Using the second spatial zone, a design-model of the architectural layout is established.

  • Patent number: 10565324
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to managing a set of candidate spatial zones. The set of candidate spatial zones are associated with an architectural layout. A cluster of architectural segments is detected in a data source. The cluster of architectural segments represent a set of architectural features of the architectural layout. Based on the cluster of architectural segments, a set of junctures is identified. Using the set of junctures, a set of contours is determined. Based on the set of contours, the set of candidate spatial zones is generated.

  • Patent number: 10515158
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to managing a group of geometric objects. The group of geometric objects is correlated to a set of spatial zones associated with an architectural layout. A set of contours is detected. The set of contours has a set of junctures. The set of junctures is based on a cluster of wall segments. The cluster of wall segments represent a set of walls of the architectural layout. Based on the cluster of wall segments, a set of wall edges is resolved. The set of wall edges interrelate with the set of contours. Based on the set of wall edges, the group of geometric objects is determined. The group of geometric objects represent the set of walls. Using the group of geometric objects, a design-model of the architectural layout is established.

  • Patent number: 9650088
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a frame having opposed compartments to receive a lubricating liquid for providing lubrication to a corresponding motor-powered chain drive. The chain drive is usable to drivingly move a continuous track or a set of wheels for moving the work vehicle. The continuous track and the set of wheels are interchangeably receivable by the frame, the frame remaining virtually identical whether receiving the continuous track or the set of wheels.
