Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for an event management platform that include integrated services that are conventionally provided as add-on features or even provided by third party servicers in conventional approaches. The system also delivers functionality not availability in any conventional approach. The system and method deliver event management for both online and in-person event execution. Ticketing operation is integral in the platform and can even be provided without notorious ticket service fees. Further embodiments automatically integrate an ambassador platform configured to deliver promotion, tracking, marketing, and attribution functions with little or no input required from an event organizer. For example, pre-registration services can be implemented with little or no input, and similarly, ambassador teams can be linked by the system to an event and used to drive participation.

Abstract: The process for constructing a three dimensional model of the living space or interior space of a house or building from a floor-plan drawing of the house or building using special imaginary “building blocks” that are scalable cuboids and/or scalable triangular prisms to completely fill in the living space or interior space detailed on a two-dimensional floor plan of the house or building to create the overall three-dimensional model of the living space or interior space. This invention is paired with other software programs, wherein this invention is first used to determine the surface area and description/type of each segment of the total exterior surface of the conditioned shell, living space, or interior space of the house or building, which is then entered into other software programs in order to determine the optimum size of HVAC system and/or the optimum size and structure of air ductwork or ducting and/or other energy modeling calculations.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an oxygen sensor heater. In one example, a method may include applying a less than maximum duty cycle of voltage to the oxygen sensor heater during an engine cold start (e.g., when a temperature of the oxygen sensor is less than its light-off temperature) and adjusting the applied duty cycle of voltage to maintain a constant amount of power. In this way, the oxygen sensor may be heated at a constant rate even as a resistance of the oxygen sensor heater increases, decreasing an amount of time before the oxygen sensor reaches its light-off temperature.
