  • Patent number: 11922340
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating and transmitting push notifications in connection with a transport service. Push notification triggers can be configured by a user via an application-based user interface corresponding to an application specific to the transport service. A user profile associated with the user can be accessed to detect one or more preconfigured push notification triggers, and thereafter transport service activity can be dynamically monitored for trigger events. Such trigger events can cause the system to generate and transmit push notifications to the user's mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20230200565
    Abstract: A leveling assembly including a levelling bit with a first portion that engages a screw head of a levelling screw in a base of a gondola assembly and a second portion that countersinks around a portion of the leveling screw. The levelling assembly further includes an alignment measuring system configured to measure alignment of slots in the gondola assembly. The alignment measuring system includes a first bar attached to a retractable cord and a second bar movable along the cord. The first bar is shaped for insertion into a first slot of a first upright and the second bar is shaped for insertion into a second slot of a second upright. The cord is shaped to extend along a face of a third upright between the first and second upright when the first bar is inserted into the first slot and the second bar is inserted into the second slot.

  • Publication number: 20220044186
    Abstract: A system can arrange a transport service for a rider. The system can receive, from a first computing device of a first rider, a request for a transport service. The request can include a first pickup location and a first destination location. Based on the first pickup location and the first destination location, the system can determine a plurality of candidate drivers that are each currently assigned to provide a transport service for a respective rider. The system can perform a selection process to select a driver from the plurality of candidate drivers by, for each candidate driver, determining a set of possible travel sequences in which that candidate driver can provide both the transport service for the respective rider and the transport service for the first rider and computing a score for each possible travel sequence.

  • Patent number: 10691700
    Abstract: A replicated storage system allocates tables to storage clusters to balance the usage of resources in the replicated storage system. The replicated storage system determines the query load of the stored tables and generates candidate table allocations based on the query loads. The candidate table allocations are generated based on table allocation criteria based on the popularity of the tables or whether the tables are related to other tables. The replicated storage system determines resource parameters for each candidate table allocation and generates a resource usage score for each candidate table allocation based on a utility function that is weighted based on priorities of the resources used by the replicated storage system. The replicated storage system selects a table allocation from the candidate table allocations based on the resource usage scores of the candidate table allocations and allocates table replicas to the storage clusters.
