  • Publication number: 20200160428
    Abstract: Methods and systems for integrating same-day delivery services with an online retailer platform are disclosed. Graphical user interfaces are displayed on a retailer website for browsing and selecting items for purchase. Delivery options are provided including those for same-day delivery. A delivery service can provide available schedule delivery timeframes to be displayed on a GUI of the retailer website. A customer selects a delivery window for delivery of items selected for same-day delivery. The delivery windows are communicated through an integration API. Features presented to the customer during a shopping experience from item selection to checkout can be seamlessly presented to the user from both the retailer and the delivery service. Payment can be managed by the retailer rather than passed through the delivery service.

  • Patent number: 10548356
    Abstract: A swimming garment formed from a stretchable elasticated fabric that, in use, covers at least part of the wearer's thighs, hips and glutes. The garment includes at least two tension bands that have a higher modulus of elasticity than adjacent regions of the stretchable elasticated fabric so that, in use, the tension bands offer greater resistance to stretch than the adjacent regions. A first one of said tension bands follows a path that extends along the outside of a left thigh region of the garment to a left hip region of the garment and inwardly from the left hip region across a left upper glute region of the garment towards a mid-line of the garment. A second one of said tension bands follows a path that extends along the outside of a right thigh region of the garment to a right hip region of the garment and inwardly from the right hip region across a right upper glute region of the garment towards a mid-line of the garment.

  • Patent number: 10472917
    Abstract: A wiper (200a) for a blowout preventer having an adapter ring (102a) and a piston (104a) slideable relative to the adapter ring along an interface can include a base (202) adapted to couple the wiper to the adapter ring and a head (204) coupled to the base. The head can include a first portion adapted to bridge the interface and contact the piston and a second portion adapted to contact the adapter ring and support the first portion. The second portion of the head can be adapted to at least partially resist rotation of the wiper. A blowout preventer can include one or more wipers as shown and described.

  • Publication number: 20190125219
    Abstract: An activity monitor that is worn by a user for monitoring water-based activities. The activity monitor includes at least one motion sensor, a water sensor, a memory, and a processor. The processor is operable to run an algorithm to calculate activity data based on an output from the motion sensor and to save the activity data to the memory. The processor can be triggered to operate to calculate the activity data and to save it to memory by an output from the water sensor to indicate that the monitor is immersed in water.

  • Patent number: 10117779
    Abstract: The present invention relates to goggles, preferably extra-orbital goggles, having an outer surface defined by a pair of lens portions each having an upper and a lower peripheral wall. The upper and lower peripheral walls extend to an upper and lower peripheral edge respectively which, in use, are in contact with the wearers face. The outer surface defined by the upper peripheral walls is convex. This contributes to a goggle outer surface which is a smooth curve.
