US Patent Issued to Schnackel Engineers on Feb. 3 for "Efficient routing of systems through building structures" (Florida Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,541,625, issued on Feb. 3, was assigned to Schnackel Engineers Inc. (Omaha, Neb.).

"Efficient routing of systems through building structures" was invented by Gregory R. Schnackel (Miami).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system uses a storage efficient data representation to route an object of variable cross-sectional area through a bounded three-dimensional space containing obstructions of varying size and complexity. The system uses the of triangular representations of the surfaces of the space in which the systems are to be routed. The system creates a computationally efficient 3D model that accurately represents the physical constraints...
