Patent number: 11970409Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Revive Environmental Technology, LLCInventors: Lindy E.

Patent number: 11915170Abstract: In some examples, a processor may access past order information for a plurality of merchants to determine, for an upcoming time period, a number of orders predicted to be received by the merchants. The processor may determine geographic locations of delivery agent devices, each associated with a respective delivery agent. The processor may compare, for the upcoming time period, a number of active delivery agents with the number of orders predicted to be received. Based at least on determining a predicted shortage of active delivery agents for the upcoming time period, the processor selects a first delivery agent of the plurality of delivery agents to pick up a first order from a first pickup location of a first merchant and a second order from a second pickup location of a second merchant, and sends a message to a first delivery agent device associated with the first delivery agent.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: DOORDASH, INC.Inventors: Jesse Lee Reiss, Ajit Kalidindi Varma, Jeffrey Frank Iacono, Richard David Din

Patent number: 11429907Abstract: Some examples include a processor that accesses past order information for a plurality of past orders received in the past for a plurality of merchants and delivered by delivery agents. Further, for an upcoming time period, based on the past orders received by individual merchants over a past period of time, the processor may determine a predicted number of orders to be received for an upcoming time period for the individual merchants. The processor may execute delivery agent management logic to compare, for the upcoming time period, a number of active delivery agents with the predicted number of orders, and may send a message to a first delivery agent device associated with a first delivery agent to cause one of: activation of the first delivery agent from inactive status to active status, or deactivation of the first delivery agent from active status to inactive status.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2021Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: DOORDASH, INC.Inventors: Jesse Lee Reiss, Ajit Kalidindi Varma, Jeffrey Frank Iacono, Richard David Din
