Patent number: 11924308Abstract: A computer system can receive user data from a computing device of a user, and based on the user data, determine that the user will utilize a transport service to arrive at a destination location at a specified time. The system can monitor transport provider availability within a proximity of a current location of the user prior to the specified time. The system can then determine a service request time for the user based at least in part on the transport provider availability, and automatically generate the service request for the user at the service request time to match the user to a transport provider.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gang Cheng, Jason Chionh, Jonathan Kantrowitz, Oren Freiberg, Juncao Li, Jie Zhang

Patent number: 8207142Abstract: Zebularine has hypomethylating activity, and can be used to inhibit, reverse, and/or reduce DNA methylation in vivo and in vitro. Methods are provided for treating methylation-linked conditions through the application of 2-pyrimidinone derivatives, such as Zebularine. Compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, comprising such derivatives are also provided. Also provided are kits for use in inhibiting DNA methylation, which kits include an amount of a 2-pyrimidinone derivative.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2002Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignees: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, University of Oregon, University of Miami School of Medicine, University of Sounthern California, University of MiamiInventors: Eric U.

Publication number: 20100297641Abstract: There is disclosed 103 novel methylation-altered DNA sequences (“marker sequences”) that have distinct methylation patterns in cancer, compared to normal tissue. In many instances, these marker sequences represent novel sequences not found in the GenBank data base, and none of these marker sequences have previously been characterized with respect to their methylation pattern in human cancers including, but not limited to those of bladder and prostate. These 103 sequences have utility as diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic markers in the treatment of human cancer, and as reagents in kits for detecting methylated CpG-containing nucleic acids.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2010Publication date: November 25, 2010Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAInventors: ISABEL D.C. MARKL, PETER A. JONES, YOSHITAKA TOMIGAHARA, GANGNING LIANG, HUALIN FU, JONATHAN CHENG

Patent number: 6731314Abstract: A client computer program provides instructions for a processor to locate and retrieve rich media and HTML files for running in a three-dimensional graphical user interface. The program provides instructions for the processor to generate a three-dimensional (3D) graphical user interface on a display. Then, the processor generates a metaphorical user object for navigating and interacting in the three dimensions within the environment via navigational and interactional inputs, respectively, from a user. The processor also integrates an HTML object into the environment, and interacts the user object with the HTML object in response to an interactional input from the user. Preferably, the processor generates one or more additional user objects for additional users. Each of the additional user objects can also interact with the HTML object, the first user object and/or each other within the environment in response to interactional inputs from the additional users.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1999Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Muse CorporationInventors: Gavin Cheng, Jonathan Cheng, Geoffrey F.
