Patent number: 10611015Abstract: An apparatus for holding a hood of a vehicle open during e-coat application and painting. The apparatus includes a support incorporating first and second pairs of legs attached to spaced locations on right and left sides of an engine compartment. The two pairs of legs are connected at an upper portion of the legs. A hood support bar is connected to the upper portion of both the first and second pairs of legs and extends transversely across the engine compartment. A hood striker receiving bracket may be provided on the hood support bar. The apparatus is adjustable to position the hood striker receiving bracket in a range of vertical, transverse and longitudinal locations. The adjustability of the apparatus provides a flexible hood support that reduces thermal distortion or sag due to thermal load.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Shunmugam Baskar, Michael J.

Patent number: 10614385Abstract: Methods and systems for enforcing host standards in a reservation system. In one embodiment, a reservation system provides two methods of communication between a potential guest and a host, hard communications and soft communications. The reservation system associates both types of communication with threads, each thread associated with the host and an associated reservation. The reservation system determines suspension metrics for each host based on the communications of the threads they are associated with. When the suspension metrics associated with a host satisfy one or more suspension criteria, the reservation system issues a suspension to the host.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Airbnb, Inc.Inventors: Lenny Rachitsky, Martin Anh Dung Nguyen, Vaughn Quoss, David Michael Holtz, Daniel Nathan Hill, James Allen Ostrowski, II, Nelson Aurel Gauthier

Patent number: 10567479Abstract: Particular embodiments of a gateway computing device may provide a provisioning service for access credentials for a restricted network. The gateway computing device may receive, from a client device, a request for the access credentials, wherein the request was sent over an open network using a restricted-packet-size protocol designed to limit power usage by devices sending messages using the protocol. The gateway computing device may segment data comprising the access credentials into a plurality of packets, wherein the plurality of packets conform to the restricted-packet-size protocol. Finally, the gateway computing device may send, over the open network to the client device, the segmented data using the restricted-packet-size protocol.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Eran Tal, Martin Rehwald, Francislav Penov, Siyin Yang, Damian Kowalewski, Georgiy Yakovlev, Anupma Chhabra, Zachary Chee-Ping Lawrence, Rizwan Ahmad, Dung Nguyen Tien, Angelica Estefania Escareno, Aidymar Bigio
