Fire-resistant overlays, panels, and processes for making and using same. The fire-resistant overlay can include a fiber mat that can include a plurality of fibers secured to one another. The fire-resistant overlay can include a coating disposed on at least one of a first and a second side thereof. The coating can include a blowing agent and an at least partially cured intumescent resin. When a side of the fiber mat that includes the coating disposed thereon is subjected to a modified ASTM D6413-99 test, where the test is modified by using a run time of 5 minutes instead of 12 seconds, a char can be produced. The char can have a density of about 0.05 g/cm3 to about 0.2 g/cm3, a length of about 8.8 cm to about 10.2, a height of about 1.25 cm to about 2.5 cm, and an expansion ratio of about 10 to about 17.5.

SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR DYNAMIC GENERATION OF QUOTE DATA OBJECTS USING MACHINE LEARNING
Embodiments provide for dynamic generation and updating of quote data objects using machine learning. An example apparatus is configured to receive a quote request and parse the quote request to extract one or more quote parameters. The example apparatus is further configured to determine, based at least in part the one or more quote parameters and by querying a plurality of repositories that are each updated periodically or in real-time, available inventory associated with the product identifier, and to determine a set of alternative quote values for the product identifier. The example apparatus is further configured to generate, using a first trained machine learning model and based at least in part on the available inventory and the set of alternative quote values, a first quote feature for the quote request and a confidence score, and to cause transmission of a quote data object to a user device.
A fastener sleeve is described, including a collating sleeve body and a plurality of cylindrical sheaths in the collating sleeve body, each cylindrical sheath engageable with a fastener. A sheathing panel is also described, including at least one barrier overlay secured to a panel, a plurality of fasteners engaged in the barrier overlay and the panel, a plurality of sealing cylindrical sheaths surrounding a portion of each fastener and positioned between the fastener and the barrier overlay, such that the sheathing panel has at least one of the following properties: a water vapor transmission rate of at least 7.0 grams/m2/24 hours at 73°F and 50% relative humidity (RH), a water vapor permeance of at least 1.3 perms at 73°F and 50% RH, or an air infiltration rate of less than 0.2 L/s-m2 at 75 pascals. A method of engaging the fasteners with the panel is also provided.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for automated quote generation and order management for building products using machine learning. Example methods may include determining, by one or more computer processors coupled to memory, a request for a quote for a first building product, determining available inventory of the first building product, and determining a set of customer alternative price values for the first building product. Some methods may include generating, using a first machine learning algorithm and based at least in part on the available inventory and the set of customer alternative price values, a first price value for the quote of the first building product, and causing a message to be sent to a user device, the message including the quote, an expiration time, and a purchase option to trigger purchase of the first building product.
