  • Publication number: 20180075415
    Abstract: A method of matching a job-seeking driver with a driving job is implemented with the aid of a data-processing system including a computer memory and a job-match algorithm. The data-processing system receives data relating to driver jobs for which drivers are sought and stores in the computer memory a uniquely-identifiable job-data file corresponding to each driver job for which data has been received. Additionally, the data-processing system receives driver-related data associated with job-seeking drivers and stores in the computer memory a uniquely-identifiable driver-data file corresponding to each job-seeking driver for which data has been received. A stored job-date file is algorithmically matched with a stored driver-data file based on a predetermined set of job-match threshold criteria. Information relating to a stored job-date file to which a driver-date file is algorithmically matched is rendered available to the driver associated with the driver-date file through an output interface.

  • Patent number: 7104672
    Abstract: A light source arrangement for substantially enhaning the lighting intensity of the light beams emitted from the light source therefore includes a lens body and an illumination unit. The lens body has an illumination portion defining a light projecting surface and at least a diffraction portion defining a light diffraction surface inclinedly extended at a diffraction angle, wherein a diffraction density of the illumination portion is different from that of the diffraction portion. The illumination unit is covered by the lens body for radially generating light towards the illumination portion. When the light reaches the light diffraction surface of a diffraction portion at an angle larger than the diffraction angle, the light is substantially reflected at the light diffraction surface back towards the light projecting surface, such that the light from the illumination unit is converged to project at the light projecting surface of the lens body.
