Publication number: 20240169290Abstract: Aspects of the technology relate to providing service area maps for an autonomous vehicle transportation service having a fleet of vehicles. For instance, each vehicle of the fleet is associated with a polygon corresponding to a service area for that vehicle. A first location may be received from a client computing device, and a set of vehicles of the fleet of vehicles that are currently available to provide transportation services may be identified based on the first location. The polygons associated with each of the set of vehicles may be used to determine a first polygon having a geographic area. A first portion of map information corresponding to the geographic area of the first polygon may be identified, and the first portion may be provided to the client computing device for display to a user such that the portion represents a currently available service area for the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: David Margines, Tacettin Guney, Saksiri Tanphaichitr, Jeffrey Min, Laurens Feenstra, Peter Pawlowski, Dirk Haehnel

Patent number: 11945721Abstract: A hydrogen feed stream comprising oxygen and one or more impurities selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, argon, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and water, is purified using a cryogenic temperature swing adsorption (CTSA) process with high overall recovery of hydrogen. The CTSA is regenerated using an inert gas to prevent an explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen from occurring.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Shubhra Jyoti Bhadra, Jeffrey R. Hufton, Timothy C. Golden, Aaron Raymond Scott, Quan Min Shao, Vishrut Garg
