| 20130327285 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A GENERATOR - A generator set for a transport refrigeration unit that is operable at a first frequency and a second frequency. The generator set includes a generator and a prime mover. The generator set is controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) that is coupled to a controller. The ECU is configured to monitor the engine operation condition to obtain an engine operation condition value; whereas the controller is configured to receive the engine operation condition value and compare the value with an engine operation condition threshold. When the engine operation condition value, for example, exceeds the engine operation condition threshold, the controller instructs the ECU to operate the engine at a first speed; and when the engine operation condition value, for example, is below the engine operation condition threshold, the controller instructs the ECU to operate the engine at a second speed that is slower than the first speed. | 12-12-2013 |

The system and method may include for example detecting at a communication node having a plurality of antennas, a preamble transmitted by a co-channel neighboring node operating in compliance with IEEE 802.11 standard within a clear channel assessment (CCA) range of the communication node; and setting uplink transmit weights of the antennas of the communication node, to isolate the communication node from the neighboring node after the neighboring node has transmitted the preamble, to allow the communication node to access the co-channel, by keeping a transmitted signal level of the communication node as received by the neighboring node, below the CCA signal level at one or more of the antennas of said neighboring node. The system may for example implement the method in software running on a baseband processor. | 03-12-2015 |

| 20130073319 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DETERMINING COMPOSITE HAZARD INDEX - An apparatus, method and computer program storage device determine a composite hazard index. An interface receives a first risk score for a first hazard and a second risk score for a second hazard. The first risk score is in a first range of scores and the second risk score is in a second range of scores. A processing circuit emphasizes at least some scores in at least one of the first range of scores and the second range of scores. The processing circuit also normalizes the first risk score with respect to the first range of scores and second range of scores, and normalizes the second risk score with respect to the first range of scores and second range of scores. The processing circuit also combines a normalized first risk score with a normalized second risk score to form at least a component of a composite risk index. The first risk score and second risk score being specific to a common property. | 03-21-2013 |
| 20130077819 | BUILDING FOOTPRINT EXTRACTION APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A system, method and computer program product cooperate to extract a building footprint from other data associated with a property. Imagery data of real property is input to a computing device, the imagery data containing a plurality of parcels. A processing circuit detects contrasts of candidate man-made structures on a parcel of the plurality of parcels. The candidate man-made structures are then associated with the parcel. A building footprint is then extracted by distinguishing a man-made structure on said parcel from natural terrain, recognizing that man-made structures when viewed from above generally show a strong contrast from background terrain. Remaining candidate man-made structures are removed by observing that they having features inconsistent with predetermined extraction logic. | 03-28-2013 |
| 20150019262 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING A FLASH FLOOD RISK SCORE - Computer-based systems and methods are disclosed for modeling and predicting flash flood risks for real estate properties. In some embodiments, the systems and methods can predict flash flood risks for real estate properties by considering a variety of factors, including watershed hydrology characteristics, land surface characteristics, meteorological characteristics, and/or property characteristics. In some embodiments, the systems and methods can improve determination of investment metrics or automated valuations by considering flash flood risks in determining the investment metrics or automated valuations. | 01-15-2015 |
