  • Publication number: 20200082650
    Abstract: A computing system can receive local device data transmitted from a computing device associated with a first vehicle while the first vehicle is providing transport for a rider. Based on the local device data, the computing system can detect that a vehicle collision event has occurred. Based on detecting the vehicle collision event, the computing system can obtain trip information identifying a destination location for the rider, and transmit a transport invitation to a computing device of a driver of a second vehicle to provide transport for the rider from a location of the vehicle collision event to the destination location.

  • Patent number: 10540832
    Abstract: A network computing system receives local device data from a mobile computing device of a person within a vehicle. The local device data may include sensor data from one or more sensors of the mobile computing device, and location data determined from a position-determination resource of the mobile computing device. The network computing system may detect a vehicle collision event based on the local device data. Additionally, the network computing system may determine a classification of the vehicle collision event based on the local device data.

  • Patent number: 5186610
    Abstract: A drilling mud water recovery apparatus for water collecting on drilling mud precipitated out of the mixture includes a buoyant pump assembly free floating on a layer of water above drilling mud. The pump assembly is connected with a source of electrical energy through electrical controls for a predetermined timed operation of the pump and protecting the pump motor against high and low voltages above or below a predetermined value and a current interrupting function in the event of an electrical short.
