  • Publication number: 20240169290
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11945721
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20080312511
    Abstract: The invention provides a real-time method and computer-implemented system of monitoring animal health comprising sensing at least one physical characteristic by means of an active physical sensor attached to the animal, and sensing at least one activity of the animal by means of an activity sensor attached to the animal; positioning an active activity signal generator in the environment, such that the activity signal generator is associated with an activity, gathering physical characteristic data and activity data, and wirelessly transmitting all such data to a network receiver/converter, in real-time; converting all such data if necessary, and transmitting all such data over a computer network to one or more users, in real-time.
