  • Patent number: 11842304
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a ride-hailing platform. The ride-hailing platform includes one or more processors and a memory. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including obtaining, from multiple transportation providers, multiple ride-sharing routes for multiple ride-sharing vehicles. The operations include obtaining a ride-hailing request including one or more disability settings for a user, a location of the user and a destination of the user. The operations include determining that a first ride-sharing vehicle should transport the user based on the one or more disability settings of the user. The operations include altering a first ride-sharing route to transport the user from the location of the user to the destination of the user and providing the altered first ride-sharing route to a driver of the first ride-sharing vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11589679
    Abstract: A retractable storage device for an armrest of a chair, including a vertically extending arm assembly including a first distal end and a second distal end, a horizontally extending arm assembly including a first distal end and a second distal end, a middle connector, and a storage container. The second distal end of the vertically extending arm assembly is pivotally secured to the middle connector, and the first distal end of the horizontally extending arm assembly is pivotally secured to the middle connector. The retractable storage device is moveable between a stowed position and a raised position. The storage container is coupled to the second distal end of the horizontally extending arm assembly, where the storage container is stowed beneath the armrest when the retractable storage device is moved to the stowed position.
