  • Patent number: 11961337
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology encompass solutions for automatically requesting a backup vehicle for passengers of an autonomous vehicle provisioned ride-hailing service. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology includes steps for collecting diagnostic data relating to at least one AV operation, and analyzing the diagnostic data to determine if the AV needs maintenance. Moreover, in response to a determination that the AV needs maintenance, the process can include steps for automatically requesting a backup service for a passenger of the AV. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20180032317
    Abstract: The disclosure includes methods and systems implemented at least in part by a machine for defining and generating graphics for one or more interactive elements to be used in an interactive user interface. Methods can include inputting into a graphical user interface a first full screen graphic and defining a first data area that represents a first interactive element within the first full screen graphic. Methods can also include defining an input area that represents an input interactive element within the first full screen graphic and defining a first event to occur when a user selects the input interactive element. In some embodiments, the first event corresponds to an event for the first interactive element.

  • Patent number: 9785326
    Abstract: The disclosure includes methods and systems for defining and generating graphics for one or more interactive elements to be used in an interactive user interface. Some embodiments include inputting into a graphical user interface a full screen graphic that includes an image illustrating a graphic in a first state. Embodiments may also include selecting an area of the image and defining the area as an interactive element. Additionally, some embodiments may include automatically linking tracking data to the interactive element for analytics and reporting.

  • Publication number: 20090055454
    Abstract: A circuit and method are provided for storing a data word in a latch and determining the number of consecutive equal value bits within the data word. The data word consists of bits stored in unique bit positions and having a least significant bit position and a most significant bit position. The data word is examined to determine the number of consecutive bits having the same numeric value. The invention first corrects for any single bit anomaly within the consecutive equal value sequence, counts the number of consecutive bits having this equal value using logic that examines only every other bit position of the stored data word and provides a numeric value representing this number of consecutive equal value bits.

  • Publication number: 20070166447
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of separating components from milk. The invention also relates to compositions prepared from the separated components. The present invention relates to nutritional milk compositions and products which are designed to include per serving size a specified percentage range of one or more components separated from milk. The compositions of the present invention can optionally include non-essential but nutritionally functional components. The complete nutritional milk compositions of the present invention can be provided as unflavored milks, flavored milks, ice creams, yogurts and milk powders.

  • Patent number: 7144831
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a nonwoven fabric having a combination of a planar background element and projection elements to form a three-dimensional pattern, and a plurality of durable sub-millimeter orifices that extend at least partially through the depth of the three-dimensional pattern. The three-dimensional image of the non-apertured nonwoven fabric enhances the treatment, cleaning or cleansing performance due to pronounced surface projections that come in contact with the object to be treated or cleaned, and provide air passageways that are parallel to the plane of the substrate. Incorporation of sub-millimeter orifices in the nonwoven fabric, which extend through at least part of the nonwoven fabric, allow for transmission of fluids, as well as applied or embedded chemistries, from one side or surface of the substrate, or from a region internal to the nonwoven fabric, to the side which is in communication with the formed orifice.
