  • Publication number: 20230385762
    Abstract: A system receives an order from one or more user client devices associated with an account of the system, and transmits a first notification to the one or more user client devices that an order is ready for pick up at a pickup location. The system receives location data from a particular user client device of the one or more user client devices. The system determines an outer geofence based in part on a running average time or wait time at the pickup location in a recent time period, a size of the order, or a historical wait time associated with the account. In response to receiving an indication from the particular user client device that a user associated with the particular user has entered the determined outer geofence, the system transmits a second notification to a runner client device.

  • Patent number: 4844614
    Abstract: An interchangeable beam splitter holder includes a retainer which holds the beam splitter, and a front door and rear door which are both hingedly connected to the retainer. The doors are movable between a closed position, in which the doors substantially cover the beam splitter, and an open position, in which the doors are pivoted upwardly so that the beam splitter is exposed. The beam splitter holder also has three adjusting screws with ends which are adapted to abut against pivot points in the interferometer to thereby align the beam splitter. The beam splitter holder also has three spring plungers which abut against surfaces within the interferometer to push the ends of the adjusting screws against the three pivot points in the interferometer.
