20130282626 | CHOICE MODELLING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Choice experiments are a type of survey which can be used to model user behaviour, in which survey respondents are presented with a choice of combinations of features and forced to one set of features. A computational system for performing choice modelling is described. This system comprises a user interface module, that allows an end users to specify what they set of features they wish to investigate (the attribute space), and constraints. A design generator module is used to generate an experimental design that matches the user defined attribute space. A range of different designs can be generated and compared to identify the optimum design. The design generator allows the user to specify their exact problem, rather than forcing them to modify their problem to match a known experimental design. An online survey assembly module is used to generate survey templates and a data collection and sampling uses the templates to display treatments to the respondents. A model generation model analyses the collected data, and a model explorer module is provided to allow the user to explore the results. The system has the advantage of making choice modelling accessible to a wider range of users, and enables users considerable freedom and scope to investigate problems of specific interest. | 10-24-2013 |

Based on the estimation, the damage assessment module generates a report on the roof damage. The report may be used to determine the financial cost of the damage and/or determine whether the roof should be replaced or repaired. In addition to eliminating the need for an estimator to physically climb onto a roof for evaluation purposes, the damage assessment module improves the consistency and accuracy associated with estimating damage to a roof. | 09-18-2014 |

20110189446 | Process and System for Fabrication of Patterns on a Surface - The invention provides a system and process of patterning structures on a carbon based surface comprising exposing part of the surface to an ion flux, such that material properties of the exposed surface are modified to provide a hard mask effect on the surface. A further step of etching unexposed parts of the surface forms the structures on the surface. The inventors have discovered that by controlling the ion exposure, alteration of the surface structure at the top surface provides a mask pattern, without substantially removing any material from the exposed surface. The mask allows for subsequent ion etching of unexposed areas of the surface leaving the exposed areas raised relative to the unexposed areas thus manufacturing patterns onto the surface. For example, a Ga+ focussed ion beam exposes a pattern onto a diamond surface which produces such a pattern after its exposure to a plasma etch. The invention is particularly suitable for patterning of clear well-defined structures down to nano-scale dimensions. | 08-04-2011 |
