  • Patent number: 11960797
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for managing retractable privacy partitions to dynamically subdivide spaces in buildings into sub-spaces (or rooms). Retractable privacy partitions are distributed throughout a given space in a building such that the retractable privacy partitions can completely retract into a surface of the given space (for example, the floor or ceiling) such that when they are fully extended, the retractable privacy partitions create separate rooms within the given space, and when fully retracted, the retractable privacy partitions do not significantly impede movement or sightlines throughout the given space. Further disclosed are techniques to manage the retractable privacy partitions based on properties indicative of demand for rooms of various sizes within the given space. Some embodiments further disclose retractable privacy partitions including switchable glass to provide additional flexibility through dynamic opacity along with dynamic extension/retraction of the partitions.

  • Publication number: 20220067458
    Abstract: A method for mapping sensor data to a plurality of properties comprises acquiring sensor data from a sensor, and training a first classification model using data values of sample sensor data to identify patterns for each of the plurality of properties. Each of the patterns corresponds to a different one of the plurality of properties. The method further comprises training a second classification model using a mapping of variables to property types of the sample data to identify associations between the variables and the plurality of properties, and associating subsets of the sensor data with the plurality of properties by processing the sensor data with the first classification model and the second classification model.

  • Publication number: 20220017126
    Abstract: A crossbeam for measuring deformation velocities of a surface of a material under a dynamic load includes a crossbeam body, a first type of velocimeter and a second type of velocimeter-mounted on the crossbeam body. The crossbeam body is mounted on a measurement carrier. The measurement carrier is configured to move along the surface of the material and apply a dynamic load to the surface. The first type of velocimeter is configured to measure the vertically resilient deformation velocity of the surface behind an action force of the dynamic load. The second type of velocimeter is configured to measure the vertical downward deformation velocity of the surface in front of the action force of the dynamic load. The vertically resilient deformation velocity and the vertically downward deformation velocity of the surface can be simultaneously and quickly obtained by the first and second types of velocimeters.
