Publication number: 20240187817Abstract: Location-based virtual queuing of vehicles is described. A request to join a virtual queue may be received from a user application. In response to receiving the request, the server may determine, using a geo-fencing feature, if the user computing device running the user application is within a first predetermined distance of a queue location, where the queue location is a destination of the requesting user vehicle. Then, in response to receiving confirmation that the requesting vehicle user is within the first predetermined distance, the server may automatically create and add a reservation message to a data structure that includes a plurality of reservation messages. Also, in response to the creating the reservation message, the server may provide the requesting user application a notification with the position within a queue managed by the data structure and an estimated wait time that is generated using information stored within the data structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: The City and County of San FranciscoInventors: Humphrey Loe, David Morales, Angus Davol, Kimberly Villalobos, Aayush Bhandari, Ian Law, Sanjay Mehta

Publication number: 20240013106Abstract: A management system for a Permitting Authorities (PA) or their appointed designee to monitor and track application-based commercial ground transportation (ABCT) providers activities within electronically-enabled geo-fenced areas associated with the PAs, all without the need for specialized hardware such as transponders or other tracking equipment. ABCT Providers transmit location and/or transaction information for ABCT Vehicles within geo-fenced areas associated with the PAs to a clearinghouse. The clearinghouse parses the location and/or transaction information to identify the corresponding PA. The clearinghouse transmits the received information to the corresponding PAs in near real-time and periodically creates invoices for each PA based on the activities taken place within the respective goes-fenced areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: The City and County of San FranciscoInventors: Ian Law, Humphrey Loe

Patent number: 11200672Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for modeling neural architecture. Regions of interest of a brain of a subject can be identified based on image data characterizing the brain of the subject. the identified regions of interest can be mapped to a connectivity matrix. The connectivity matrix can be a weighted and undirected network. A multivariate transformation can be applied to the connectivity matrix to transform the connectivity matrix into a partial correlation matrix. The multivariate transformation can maintain a positive definite constraint for the connectivity matrix. The partial correlation matrix can be transformed into a neural model indicative of the connectivity matrix.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2021Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignees: Ohio State Innovation Foundation, The Penn State Research Foundation, University of North Carolina, University of San FranciscoInventors: Skyler Cranmer, Bruce Desmarais, Shankar Bhamidi, James Wilson, Matthew Denny, Zhong-Lin Lu, Paul Stillman

Publication number: 20140110350Abstract: This invention offers an effective method of inhibiting the growth of toxic bloom algae caused by cyanobacteria Mycrocystis aeruginosa in freshwater environments comprising administering an effective amount of 5,6-dichlorogramine to the freshwater. Also, the invention offers an effective method of inhibiting the growth of toxic bloom algae caused by M. aeruginosa comprising administering an effective amount of 5,6,7-trichlorogramine to the freshwater. Both compounds, 5,6-dichlorogramine and 5,6,7-trichlorogramine, may be administered individually or in combination to the freshwater. Both compounds are individually very potent and only need to be administered at a very low concentration to be effective at inhibiting the growth of M. aeruginosa in freshwater environments. Both 5,6-dichlorogramine and 5,6,7-trichlorogramine are each individually effective at inhibiting M. aeruginosa at low concentrations, between about 0.01 mg/L and about 0.05 mg/L, or more specifically at a concentration of about 0.03 mg/L.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2012Publication date: April 24, 2014Applicant: San Francisco State UniversityInventors: Yuhua Ge, Zheng-Hui He, Weiming Wu

Patent number: 8142454Abstract: A system for auto-anastomosing a region of the body using magnetic members that may be individually delivered to different locations in the body. The magnetic members have a polar alignment that generates an attractive force to compress tissue in the region between them. The tissue in the region necroses as a result of the compressive force such that tissue surrounding the necrosed tissue heals together to form an anastomosis. A cutting member may be coupled to either the first or second magnetic member to create a temporary opening in the tissue.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2008Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: The Regents of the University of California, San FranciscoInventors: Michael R.

Patent number: 8043290Abstract: Methods and apparatus for incrementally manipulating an internal body member of a patient are disclosed. The apparatus has a magnetic implant adapted to be received on a location of the body member, a platform external to the patient, and a magnetic member coupled to the platform, wherein the magnetic member generates a magnetic force between the implant and the platform to incrementally manipulate the body member. The implant and external magnetic member are preferably rare earth magnets or an array of rare earth magnets, and are configured to generate an attractive or repulsive force between the implant and the platform to reposition, reorient, deform, or lengthen the body member.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: The Regents of the University of California, San FranciscoInventors: Michael R.

Patent number: 7932043Abstract: Methods of preparing monoclonal antibodies that differentially bind to a single conformer of a protein of interest are described. Passive immunization using these antibodies as well as use of conformer-specific antibodies as diagnostic reagents for the purpose of stratification of patient populations with regards to disease outcome, drug efficacy or drug sensitivity is also disclosed as well as active immunization with the protein conformer. In the screening techniques, detection can be for example by tissue immunostaining, western blotting or solution IP. A specific mab termed 7VC which shows conformation specificity to CtmPrP, a prion protein conformer that triggers neurodegeneration under specific assay conditions of pH and copper concentration, is described. A second specific antibody termed 19B10 shows conformation specificity for NtmPrP, a prion protein conformer that downregulates total PrP expression and effects cell differentiation.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2003Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: The University of California at San FranciscoInventors: Carsten Korth, Vishwanath R.
