Abstract: A tracking server receives GPS data from a location tracking device located in a vehicle. The GPS data describes a path that is representative of a pathway of the vehicle used to complete a trip from a starting location to a destination location. The tracking server identifies noisy GPS data included in the received GPS data and revises a portion of path corresponding to the noisy GPS data. The tracking server may update a map database to include one or more road segments associated with the revised portion of the path. Furthermore, the tracking server may calculate a fare for the trip based on the revised path.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, and an associated apparatus configured to implement such a method, for analysing mark-up language text content, such as might be found on a website or within online user generated content. The method comprises a training phase, in which plurality of schemas are automatically generated from a specified text and a final schema is compiled. This final schema can then be used to compare with other online text content such that content which matched the final schema can be identified, for example for further analysis and comparison.

Abstract: A shoe accessory system and methods can include: an accessory connector having a male accessory mount and a female accessory mount: the male accessory mount including a base, a protrusion mounted above the base, an outwardly protruding lip extending from the protrusion, the outwardly protruding lip having a slope extending down toward an abutment, and the female accessory mount having inwardly extending flanges, the inwardly extending flanges extend in toward a center of the female accessory mount, the inwardly extending flanges spaced apart allowing the protrusion to fit therebetween; a shoe affixed to the male accessory mount; and an accessory affixable to the female accessory mount for allowing the accessory to be placed over the male accessory mount, pressed down, and twisted to lock the accessory onto the shoe.

Abstract: A transport service system determines the accuracy of a map matched trajectory using a forward probability algorithm. A transport vehicle on a trip relays location data to the system. The system uses a map of the corresponding area and the location data to calculate an emission probability, the likelihood of a candidate road being associated with a location data point, and a transition probability, the likelihood of a second state occurring after a first state. The joint probability of the emission and transition probabilities is used to determine a total number of zero forward probability occurrences and an average forward probability associated with the trip. These metrics are used to measure the accuracy of the map matching algorithm for the trip.

Abstract: Method of slowly moving target detection with application for coastal surveillance radars. This method improves the well know other methods and efficiently detects targets with a high accuracy. The proposed method consists of three steps that are: step of generation and processing of signals with complex modulation; step of target clustering and step of detection of slowly moving targets in clutter environments.

Abstract: A map server receives geographic points from a location tracking device located in a vehicle. The received geographic points describe a path that is representative of a pathway of the vehicle used to complete a trip from a starting location to a destination location. The map server identifies candidate geographic points for each received geographic point where each candidate geographic point is associated with a location on a known roadway. The map server determines a graph of the candidate geographic points and identifies different sub-graphs from the graph. The map server iteratively evaluates the sub-graphs to determine a shortest path from the starting location to the destination location without evaluating all the edges in the sub-graphs.

Abstract: A transport facilitation system can receive current location data from driver devices of drivers operating throughout a given region. The system can further receive a pick-up request from a user device of a requesting user within the given region, the pick-up request including pick-up location data. The system can determine a plurality of candidate drivers to service the pick-up request based, at least in part, on the pick-up location data and current location data of the candidate drivers. The system can predict a future location for each of the candidate drivers and select a first driver from the candidate drivers to service the pick-up request based on the predicted future locations. The system may then transmit a transport invitation to the first driver to service the pick-up request.
