  • Publication number: 20190066003
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide systems and methods for confirming the identity of a passenger and changing destination of a vehicle. This may include receiving dispatching instructions to pick up a first passenger at a pickup location and to drop off the first passenger at a first destination as well as authentication information for authenticating a first client computing device of the first passenger. Once the client device is authenticated and a second passenger enters the vehicle, the vehicle is maneuvered towards the first destination. While doing so, a location of the vehicle is compared to location information received from the client computing devices. A notification is sent to a dispatching server based on the comparison and a second destination location is received in response. The vehicle is then maneuvered towards the second destination instead of the first destination.

  • Publication number: 20190057209
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide systems and methods for recognizing an assigned passenger. For instance, dispatching instructions to pick up a passenger at a pickup location are received. The instructions include authentication information for authenticating a client computing device associated with the passenger. A vehicle is maneuvered in an autonomous driving mode towards the pickup location. The client device is then authenticated. After authentication, a set of pedestrians within a predetermined distance of the vehicle are identified from sensor information generated by a sensor of the vehicle and location information is received over a period of time from the client device. The received location information is used to estimate a velocity of the passenger. This estimated velocity is used to identify a subset of set of pedestrians that is likely to be the passenger. The vehicle is stopped to allow the passenger to enter the vehicle based on the subset.

  • Publication number: 20140134021
    Abstract: A circulation pump for a domestic appliance, including a motor body, a motor, a hydraulic body attached to the motor body and including an inlet and an outlet, and a closure mechanism or member attached to the hydraulic body, a hydraulic chamber where the fluid flows, which is delimited between the hydraulic body and the closure mechanism or member. The pump includes an impeller housed in the hydraulic body and rotating, causes a substantially circular flow of the fluid in the hydraulic chamber, and a stationary element suitable or configured for aiding in discharging the fluid from the pump. The stationary element may be attached to at least one of the elements demarcating the hydraulic chamber and may be arranged in the hydraulic chamber such that it blocks or resists against the flow of the fluid.

  • Patent number: 8260148
    Abstract: A transmitting device includes a housing, a multichannel transmitter optical subassembly, a microcontroller, and a DVI connector. The housing has only one optical port, where the only one optical port is adapted to receive only one optical fiber. The multichannel transmitter optical subassembly is mechanically associated with the housing. The microcontroller is electrically associated with the multichannel transmitter optical subassembly. The DVI connector is mechanically associated with the housing. The transmitting device is adapted to convert at least four electrical TMDS signals into optical paths that are transmittable over the only one optical fiber. A receiving device is similar to the transmitting device, however, in contrast to the transmitting device, the receiving device includes a multichannel receiver optical subassembly, and wherein the receiving device is adapted to convert multiple colored wavelengths into at least four electrical TMDS signals.

  • Patent number: 7938928
    Abstract: A method and device are described for the reproduction of a certain image, previously digitalized and separated into a number of pixels and optimized into a number of colors below a certain limit, with the help of a specific software application. The method includes the construction of individual colored elements that correspond to each of the colors selected for the image, where these elements or pixels consist of small cubic parts made of glass or similar. The method and the device include the means for extracting said pixels from the individual containers and positioning them sequentially for the formation of successive rows which, placed next to each other, form the desired image. The desired image or mosaic is completed with the support for the pixels made of an appropriate material, where the pixels are bound to each other and/or to the support by means of a process of adhesion or the application of heat in an oven up to the temperature at which the material softens.

  • Patent number: 7497718
    Abstract: A modular system of routing clip subcomponents having compatible interlocking features allows for as-needed assembly of multiple clips and extensions, thereby eliminating the need for specialized standoff brackets and clipping devices when routing vehicle wires, hoses, tubes, cables, harnesses, and the like. Generally molded from high-impact and decay resistant polymers, the elements of the modular system are inexpensive to manufacture and simple to assemble by hand.
