Publication number: 20240078136Abstract: A system and method are provided for operating a pool of workers within a distributed computing system, wherein each of multiple computers host one or more workers. Each computer also hosts ledgers for one or more originators of tasks that are submitted to the pool for processing. A ledger identifies tasks from the corresponding originator that have been submitted to the pool and that have not yet been completed. When an originator submits a new task, the system (e.g., a coordinator) identifies a maximum number of concurrent tasks permitted the originator and determines, with reference to the originator's ledger, whether the task can be submitted to the pool without exceeding the limit. If so, the task is assigned to an idle worker (if any) and is added to the originator's ledger. After completion, the task is removed from the ledger. Obsolete or stale entries are periodically purged from originators' ledgers.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Zendesk, Inc.Inventors: Zhi Wei Mervyn Chng, Vatsal B.

Publication number: 20210403008Abstract: A method for predicting a trajectory of a target vehicle in an environment of a vehicle. The method includes the steps of a) capturing states of the target vehicle, capturing states of further vehicle objects in the environment of the vehicle and capturing road markings by a camera-based capture device; b) preprocessing the data obtained in step a), wherein outliers are removed and missing states are calculated; c) calculating an estimated trajectory by a physical model on the basis of the data preprocessed in step b); d) calculating a driver-behavior-based trajectory on the basis of the data preprocessed in step b); and e) combining the trajectories calculated in steps c) and d) to form a predicted trajectory of the target vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicant: Dr. Ing. h.c.

Patent number: 8662508Abstract: An improved scooter incorporates a novel or novelty illumination or lighting effect. Scooters have undergone an upsurge in popularity in recent years, e.g. because of innovation such as folding scooters and micro-scooters. There is provided a scooter or other self or foot propelled vehicle or the like having a platform for supporting a user, the platform having an upper surface having illumination. The platform comprises a foot-plate, and is at least part transparent or translucent. The platform comprises a first portion extruded from metal and a second portion, which is at least part transparent or translucent, and preferably made from a plastics material.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2006Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: H Grossman LimitedInventor: Martin Grossman

Patent number: 8562005Abstract: A scooter (110) includes a platform (116) that has an upperside and an underside. First and second walls (146, 148) depend from the underside of the platform (116) and away from the upperside of the platform (116) so as to define a space (142) between the walls (146, 148). The first wall (146) defines a void (140) that has a length that is substantially equal to the length of the space (142). At least one illuminatable means (112) is provided on the platform (116). A control box (144) for the illuminatable means (112) is provided between the first and second walls (146, 148) and within the space (142). The scooter (110) is a collapsible microscooter.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2011Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: H. Grossman LimitedInventor: Martin Grossman
