Patent number: 11854404Abstract: A system computes a timing interval between high-capacity vehicles (HCVs) for each of a plurality of HCV corridors within a geographic region, each respective HCV corridor of the plurality of HCV corridors including a start area. For each respective HCV corridor, the system transmits, via a network communication interface, (i) first data to a first computing device associated with a first HCV, the first data indicating the start area of the respective HCV corridor, and a first start time for the first HCV, and (ii) second data to a second computing device associated with a second HCV, the second data indicating the start area of the respective HCV corridor and a second start time for the second HCV, wherein the first start time for the first HCV and the second start time for the second HCV are based on the computed timing interval for the respective HCV corridor.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Kuhn, Eoin O'Mahony, Miraj Ramhematpura, Mustafa Sahin, Lior Seeman, Philippe Sekine, Vishnu Srinivasan Sundaresan, Meisam Vosoughpour, Danhua Guo, Robert Paine

Patent number: 11482111Abstract: A computing system computes a timing interval between high-capacity vehicles (HCVs) for each HCV corridor within a geographic region to control rates of HCVs entering and exiting each of the HCV corridors. For each of the HCV corridors, the computing system schedules a first HCV to provide a transport service along the corridor beginning at a first starting time, transmits first schedule data for the corridor to the first HCV, schedules a second HCV to provide the transport service along the corridor beginning at a second starting time after the first starting time according to the timing interval for the corridor, and transmits second schedule data for the corridor to the second HCV.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2019Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Kuhn, Eoin O'Mahony, Miraj Ramhematpura, Mustafa Sahin, Lior Seeman, Philippe Sekine, Vishnu Srinivasan Sundaresan, Meisam Vosoughpour, Danhua Guo, Robert Paine

Patent number: 10729113Abstract: A spear-fishing tip that combines the strengths of the two most prevalent tips: barbed and slip tip. The tip features the superior hold of the slip tip and the durability of the barb. The tip has a detachable side-located barb which passes through a fish with the spear tip and then pulls away from the tip to remain on the side of the fish opposite that of penetration. The barb includes a longitudinal slot on one side that enables it to lie flush against the side of the tip when impaling a fish and protects it from being damaged during impact. The barb is tethered to the user or the shaft and includes slots received securely on pins radially protruding from the shaft. The slots have rearward openings to allow for detachment when protrusions on a rear end of the barb catch on the flesh of the fish as the tip is pulled from the fish.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Inventors: Jordan N Marshall, Robert Paine

Patent number: 7757513Abstract: An ice storage and bagging system for automatically bagging ice and dispensing the bagged ice to a customer. The ice storage and bagging system generally includes a storage bin to store a plurality of ice cubes, an ice dispensing machine to transfer the plurality of ice cubes from the storage bin and a bagging system to receive the plurality of ice cubes from the ice dispensing machine to within a bag, wherein the bag is filled with a predetermined amount of the ice cubes. A delivery system transfers the filled bag of ice cubes from the bagging system to a customer and a purchasing system activates the ice dispensing machine to fill the bag with the plurality of ice cubes to be delivered to the customer in an automated manner. The ice may also be formed via a forming machine prior to being stored within the storage bin to completely automate the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2008Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Inventor: Robert A. Paine
