Patent number: 10203212Abstract: A system for and a method of determining that a detoured trip is to be presented to a potential passenger. The method comprises receiving a rideshare request; generating a rideshare request parameter; and accessing, from a database, trip filtering parameters associated with trips. The method further comprises determining that at least one of the trips is a candidate for which a detour route is to be computed based on an analysis of the rideshare request parameter and a corresponding trip filtering parameter associated with the at least one of the trips; causing to compute, for the at least one of the trips determined as being the candidate for which the detour route is to be computed, a detoured trip; and determining that the detoured trip is to be presented to the potential passenger by analyzing the deviation value of the detoured trip and the deviation threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: COMUTO S.A.Inventors: Frederic Gabriel Mazzella, Francis Gerard Nappez, Mathieu Mehdi Louafi, Nicolas Georges Erwin Schwartz

Patent number: 9832322Abstract: Techniques to transform network resource requests to zero rated network requests are described. Some embodiments are particularly directed to techniques transform network resource requests on a cellular network to zero rating by replacing the destination of the request with a zero-rated source for the network resource. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a data store and a network access component. The data store may be operative to store a plurality of zero-rating rewrite rules. The network access component may be operative to receive a network request from an application component on the mobile device, the network request for access to a network resource; compare the network resource to the plurality of zero-rating rewrite rules to identify a zero-rating rewrite rule matching the network resource; transform the network request to a zero-rated network request for the network resource using the identified zero-rating rewrite rule; and perform the zero-rated network request.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2017Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Shaheen A Gandhi, Luiz Fernando Scheidegger, Breno Pompeu Roberto, Peter Avelino Ruibal, Marcus Erwin Schwartz

Patent number: 7174954Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a plurality of parallel-oriented plates or layers securely fixed between two outer walls or frames to define between adjacent plates an area of sealed passages for two heat exchanging fluids, channel or duct means for conducting a hot medium and a cold medium respectively over the layers such that the flow of hot and cold medium takes place in an in-line and a counter-flow fashion, and an external return bend means providing a transfer of the respective medium from one layer to another. Each of the channel means are defined by a pair of layers disposed one next to the other, by straight or directional baffle means, and an internal return bend means located between the adjacent layers.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1995Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Inventors: Erwin Schwartz, Peter Lipert
