  • Patent number: 11879743
    Abstract: A device for identifying a shift in a point of interest (POI). The device may receive location information of the POI, determine a geographical coordinate of the POI based on the location information and using map data, determine a routable attribute of the POI based on the geographical coordinate and using updated map data, identify a shift in the POI between the map data and the updated map data based on an inconsistency between the routable attribute and the map data, determine an aggregate score based on the routable attribute and the inconsistency between the routable attribute and the map data when the shift in the POI is identified, and cause an action to be performed based on the aggregate score.

  • Publication number: 20220274879
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a gypsum board and a method of making such gypsum board. For instance, the gypsum board comprises a gypsum core, a first facing material, and a second facing material wherein the first facing material and the second facing material sandwich the gypsum core. The gypsum core comprises a first gypsum core section and a second gypsum core section each comprising gypsum, wherein the first gypsum core section comprises a polyol compound and has a density higher than a density of the second gypsum core section.

  • Patent number: 11402222
    Abstract: A device receives, from another device, a request for navigational instructions for a vehicle. That request includes data that identifies stops for the vehicle. The device receives route restriction data that identifies route restrictions that include a set of waypoints. The device selects, by analyzing the route restriction data, particular waypoints to include in the stops. The device determines an initial route through the stops that include the particular waypoints. The device obtains fuel selection data to use to identify fuel stops. The device identifies a subset of the fuel stops that are near the initial route. The device selects a fuel stop, to include in the stops, based on at least one of: fuel data, fuel cost data, weather data, or traffic data. The device determines a final route that includes the stops, and provides, to the other device, the final route to permit the vehicle to be navigated.

  • Patent number: 11015945
    Abstract: A device can determine route information associated with a route of a vehicle, identify a point of interest (POI) based on the route information, and identify a portion of the route that has a shortest distance to the POI. The device can determine one or more paths from the POI, and determine whether the portion of the route is included in an initial portion of a path of the one or more paths. The device can determine whether the POI is located to a right of the portion of the route, and perform one or more actions to cause the route information and information regarding the POI to be provided to a user device associated with the vehicle based on whether the portion of the route is included in the initial portion of the path, and whether the POI is located to the right of the portion of the route.

  • Patent number: 10845207
    Abstract: A user device can receive boundary information that identifies a restricted region; identify one or more map boundaries of the restricted region based on the boundary information; identify traversing roads of the restricted region based on geographic information survey (GIS) information; flag the traversing roads for exclusion from route determination; receive a navigation request identifying at least one of an origin or a destination; determine a route that does not include a flagged traversing road; and provide navigation information identifying the route.

  • Publication number: 20180297724
    Abstract: This description relates to an extensible space-based infrastructure platform having modules that can be launched in a stowed configuration, placed in orbit, and then deployed to extend the modules away from each other for an integrated infrastructure platform configuration. This infrastructure platform provides power, timing, communications, data management, attitude control, and other vital and non-vital services to docked payloads. Multiple payloads can be launched into orbit, maneuvered into position, and docked with the space-based services platform. Each docked payload utilizes the infrastructure of the space-based services platform and its interconnected network of docked payloads. Multiple space-based platforms can be docked together to provide a larger space-based infrastructure platform with a broader array of services available to all docked payloads and users.
