  • Publication number: 20220360936
    Abstract: The present application discloses an improved transportation matching system, and corresponding methods and computer-readable media. According to disclosed embodiments, a transportation matching system receives a session indicator and device-based location. The system utilizes the received request and device-based location to identify and analyze historical transportation matching system information. The system then generates a confidence score based on this information that indicates a level of confidence that the device-based location is a pickup location associated with the request. If the generated confidence score exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system provides display components to a requestor computing device that enable confirmation of the transportation request with a single user interaction.

  • Patent number: 10820148
    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for determining an estimated target pickup location for a corresponding transport request at a particular location, such as associated with a particular geohash. A requestor may send a request that is associated with a location that does not reflect the requestor's intent regarding where they would like to be met by the provider (i.e., “picked up”). GPS inaccuracies may cause the request location to inaccurately indicate where the requestor will be; for example, the request location may be inside a building while the requestor is waiting on a curb around a far side of the building. The target pickup location allows for a requestor and a provider to meet more efficiently, reducing delay for the provider and improving the efficiency of the system by preventing provider system resources from being taken from other service areas and decreasing provider downtime upon matching.

  • Patent number: 9335933
    Abstract: Described are systems and apparatuses to mitigate the timing margin loss caused by inter-symbol interference (ISI) in high speed input/output (I/O) interfaces. Data dependent jitter (DDJ) compensation techniques that may be utilized in the transmission or receiving circuitry of the I/O interface, including capturing bit data values of a data signal prior to an identified data transition, and delaying/advancing the transmission/reception the data signal or a corresponding clock signal based on these bit data values.

  • Publication number: 20160119024
    Abstract: Described is an apparatus which comprises: a first buffer to receive a first signal from a first transmission media; a second buffer to receive a second signal from a second transmission media separate from the first transmission media; a first summing node coupled to the first buffer, the first summing node to receive output of the first buffer; and a first digital adjustment circuit which is operable to drive a first adjustment signal to the first summing node when a transition edge of the second signal is detected.

  • Patent number: 8907737
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for configuring logic to implement a signal modulation. In an embodiment, the logic includes a finite impulse response (FIR) module comprising circuitry. The selection circuitry may be operable to concurrently receive signals from latch circuitry of the FIR module and, based on the signals, to select an input group of the selection circuitry and to output a voltage identifier. In another embodiment, configuration logic is operable to set an operational mode which determines a total number of concurrent input signals, received by the FIR module, which the FIR module will use to select an input group for generating an output representing a voltage level.
