  • Patent number: 11694279
    Abstract: Systems implement a software platform that creates dynamic user device pools that facilitate in-person engagement between and among platform users as well as the participation in local events and activities. The system includes a profile server that communicates with one or more user computing devices, such as smartphones. The provider server determines a pool area that can be predefined or determined based on a geometric area surrounding a user computing device. The provider server determines the user devices within the pool area and obtains profile data associated with the user devices where the profile data represents information personal to the platform users. The provider server applies user relationship information and privacy settings to filter the profile data before transmitting the profile data to user computing devices for display. Platform users communicate with other users in the pool area according to permissions settings that safely limit the types of permissible communications.

  • Publication number: 20200384628
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an advanced system of handgrip apparatus including a hollow housing defining a handgrip surface and forming an enclosure and a rigid surface for the slip free holding of assembly. The shock dampening hand grip wraps around various diameters of raw stainless steel or powder coated railings commonly used on all types of recreational boats. When applied to a railing, grab bar, T-Top or ladder, the inner EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) copolymer foam provides an adhesive surface which prevents the grip from sliding up or down or side to side. The present technology presents an ergonomic hand grip with a predetermined length to propose a superior support, vibration dampening and impact absorption, thereby reducing fatigue for the users' hand.
