  • Patent number: 10417584
    Abstract: A system and method are provided which obtain a travel itinerary for a user, the itinerary identifying a trip, including a scheduled flight to a destination. A scheduled flight is monitored to detect when the scheduled flight arrives at the destination. Upon the scheduled flight arriving at an airport of the destination, one or more notifications are sent to a mobile computing device of the user. Information can be provided with the notifications for an on-demand ground transportation service. The information may include a location at the airport where the user can be picked up in connection with receiving the on-demand transportation service, and a timing indicator to indicate when the user should make a request to receive the on-demand transportation service based on a real-time determination of a number of available service providers in a vicinity of the airport.

  • Publication number: 20190001027
    Abstract: A Quaternary Mg—Zn—Ca-based alloy and a heat treatment process for producing bioresorbable bone fixation implants are described thereof. The mechanical and biocorrosion properties of the fabricated Mg-based alloy were improved by combining careful selection of the alloy's chemical composition and subsequent post-shaping process (heat treatments). Heat treatment process is more privileged especially after fabricating the part into its final shape such as in additive manufacturing (3D-printing) and powder metallurgy. In this way, it is possible to produce biocompatible, strong and less corrosive patient-specific bone fixation hardware. Also, such heat-treated Mg—Zn—Ca-based parts can be further coated with various types of biocompatible ceramic coatings for slower and more tailored biocorrosion rates.
