Abstract: A mapping method that matches customer service requests with the service providers. The Service providers share trip details, preferred costs for additional time/distance required to be traveled reach the service destination, and fulfill the customer service requests during the trip. The service providers can set multiple parameters in combination with the additional time/distance deviations from the trip schedule. The additional travel time/distance is calculated based on the estimated traffic, route availabilities at the time of the trip. The trip parameters also can be extracted from navigation applications such as a Google map and receive a service request based on additional time/distance preferences.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to obtain a first logical page and to obtain a first namespace address corresponding to a second logical page from the first logical page. The processing device is further configured to obtain the second logical page based at least in part on the first namespace address and to identify a given entry of a plurality of entries of the second logical page based at least in part on index information contained in the first logical page. The processing device is further configured to determine that the given entry comprises data other than a second namespace address corresponding to the first logical page and to add the second namespace address corresponding to the first logical page to the given entry based at least in part on the determination that the given entry comprises data other than the second namespace address.

Abstract: A linear gearbox with a linear shaft reciprocating inside its casing. The linear shaft moves in a reciprocating manner. The output shaft is operationally coupled to the input shaft. With the use of two one-way locking mechanisms & a few gears, the reciprocating movements of the linear shaft can be converted into one-directional rotational motion of the output shaft. The output shaft of the linear gearbox can be connected to a generator and spin the generator in a uni-rotational direction and generate electricity with a minimum energy loss. The linear gearbox generator can be used to harvest energy from ocean waves. Ocean waves' energy can be harvested into a unidirectional rotational motion coupled with a generator, which generates electricity.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved sunshade configuration over the prior art. A Zig-Zag clamping mechanism for connecting two endpoints of each flexible metal loop can provide an additional flexibility and strength. The hollow enclosure is clamped in with two opposite pressure points being offset to one-another which provides an secure clamping.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for maintaining a back pointer from a physical layer block (PLB) to a virtual layer block (VLB) in a multi-level hierarchical file system. A generation number may be maintained in the VLB, wherein the generation number may indicate when data is moved from the PLB to another PLB. An object may be reconstructed in the multi-level hierarchical file system based upon, at least in part, at least one of the back pointer and the generation number.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for setting a preferred alignment value to a size of an address space mapped by one or more root pages. An allocation request may be received for the address space. A binary buddy allocation scheme may be executed to allocate an extent for the allocation request based upon, at least in part, the preferred alignment value.

Abstract: A compatibility guidance method to provide guidance to online customer about automotive accessory, parts for an online marketplace and in-store provides a combination of make, model and year of a machinery for customer to confirm particular universal automotive accessory's compatibility with given combination of vehicle during online shopping. By this process of providing compatibility guidance from premeasured data of vehicles saves a customer hassle of measuring and checking compatibility themselves. For in-store purchases a potential customer can be directed to a webpage where the potential customer can find compatibility guidance for a an automotive accessory, replacement automotive parts such as wiper blade, air filter or maintenance recommendation, related parts and tools required to perform specific repair or maintenance.

Abstract: A protective case for an electronic device is provided. The protective case is made of non-stretchable material. The edges of the protective case have one or more slits in the corner regions. These one or more slits provide flexibility enough to insert an electronic device in the protective case, while providing protection to the electronic device in an event of an accidental fall.

Abstract: Basically the Advanced Wind Energy Generator is a vertical wind mill with moveable doors. By closing the doors on apparatus moving with wind, it can harvest more wind energy. Same doors will open as soon as they travel against blowing wind which will minimize the drag. This system will make moveable door wind mill quite yet effective.

Abstract: A contacting process for an online marketplace is provided. The contacting process includes scanning a scan-able code in an online marketplace environment running on a handheld device of a user. The scan-able code is associated with a predefined seller of a predefined product. The user automatically login to the online marketplace environment using pre-stored login credentials stored in the handheld device. This enables contact between the user and the predefined seller.

Abstract: A compatibility guidance method for a universal automotive accessory for an online marketplace provides a combination of make, model and year of a vehicle for customer to confirm particular universal automotive accessory's compatibility with given combination of vehicle during online shopping. By this process of providing compatibility guidance from premeasured data of vehicles saves a customer hassle of measuring and checking compatibility themselves. For in store purchases a potential customer can be directed to a webpage where the potential customer can find compatibility guidance for a universal automotive accessory.

Abstract: There are several types of sunshades available in market to cover view through window partially or fully. Typically, such sunshades have a fabric sewed on a flexible wire loop to keep the fabric erect against a window. A Sunshade is placed against glass windows to block sun rays. Conventionally, two adjacent sunshades are used to cover most of the area of a car front or rear windshield. However, conventional sunshades are unable to fully block sun ray and leave substantial uncovered portion at borders of the sunshade on a car window especially on a car windshield because they do not have any fabric sewed outside of flexible loop region. This new type sunshade has extra borders to cover uneven surfaces at borders of the window its being placed against.
