Abstract: A computing system can implement an on-demand transport service by determining utilization conditions for a plurality of sub-regions of a geographic region. The utilization condition for each sub-region can correspond to a number of available drivers within the sub-region as compared to a number of transport requests comprising pickup locations within the sub-region. Based on the utilization condition for a given sub-region exceeding the predetermined utilization threshold, the computing system can transmit data to the computing devices of a plurality of drivers to display a geofence feature, defined by three or more location data points, that encompasses the given sub-region, and a notification indicating that the given sub-region has a utilization condition that exceeds the predetermined utilization threshold.

Abstract: A computing system can manage a notification database that stores notifications for drivers of a transportation service. The computing system can interface with at least one third party resource to receive event data corresponding to a given event. For a given time interval, the system can selectively notify drivers about the given event at a corresponding event location by determining a utilization condition for a sub-region of the event location and selecting, from the set of notifications, a notification for the sub-region of the event location based on the utilization condition. The system can select a set of driver devices to receive the selected notification based at least in part on the current location of each driver device in the selected set of driver devices relative to the event location, and transmit the selected notification to the selected set of driver devices.

Abstract: A system and method for providing notifications is described. The system accesses a notification database that stores a plurality of notification entries. Each notification entry includes notification text, location information, and condition information. For each of a plurality of devices, information is received that includes a current location of that device and a current status associated with that device. At least one device is determined to meet the condition information of a notification entry based on the received information. A notification corresponding to the notification entry is transmitted to the at least one device.

Abstract: There is provided a seat cover for accommodating a child safety chair upon a seat. The seat cover comprises a lower protective member which is disposable upon a seating portion of the seat. This lower member can accommodate the child safety chair when positioned in a rearward-facing direction to prevent it from permanently compressing the seating portion. The seat cover further comprises an upper protective member that is disposable against a seat-back portion of the seat. This upper member is selectively attachable with and detachable from the lower member. By doing so, the upper member can further prevent the chair from permanently compressing the seat-back portion when it is repositioned in a forward-facing direction and placed in contact therewith.

Abstract: A sports board apparatus, for use with a sports surface and boards, includes posts, a web, and an upper support, each constructed from a roll-formed metal material. Each post has lower and upper ends, and includes two post channels securely nested with one another. Each channel has back and side walls defining a C-shaped channel profile. The web securely engages two posts, and has back and side walls defining a C-shaped web profile. The upper support securely engages two posts adjacent to the upper ends thereof. The upper support, the web, and the posts are secured relative to the boards. The posts are secured relative to the sports surface, with the lower ends adjacent thereto. A method of forming the sports board apparatus includes a post channel roll-forming step, a web roll-forming step, and an upper support roll-forming step.

Abstract: An edge guard for use adjacent an edge. The edge guard comprises a cushion member and an edge attachment. The cushion member includes a first face, a second face, and a cushion edge portion disposed between them. Both faces have inner portions extending away from the cushion edge portion towards end portions. The inner portions are positioned adjacent surfaces surrounding the edge. The edge attachment includes an upper surface, an attached end, and a distal end. The attached end is attached to one of the end portions of the cushion member. The edge attachment is stiffer than the cushion member. The upper surface of the edge attachment is separated a distance from the surface it is positioned adjacent that tapers from a larger distance at the attached end to a smaller distance at the distal end.

Abstract: Provided is a hygienic wipes steamer having a housing assembly with a liquid container and a generally planar heater assembly being supported thereby. The housing assembly may be configured for supporting either a stack of individual sheets of hygienic wipes material or a roll of hygienic wipes material. The individual sheets of both the roll and the stack are preferably arranged in detached relationship to one another and are successively delivered to the heater assembly. A wipes transporter may be further included within the housing assembly and is operative to successively engage the uppermost one of the individual sheets of the stack for transportation to the heater assembly. Alternatively, a roller assembly may be included with the housing assembly and is preferably operative to deliver individual sheets to the heater assembly prior to warming and moisturizing thereof.

Abstract: Provided is a hygienic wipes steamer for warming hygienic wipes. The hygienic wipes steamer comprises a housing assembly contains a liquid container, a roller assembly, a heater assembly and an ejector assembly. The liquid container stores a quantity of liquid. The roller assembly rotatably supports a roll of material and cuts the material into individual hygienic wipes during unwinding of the material. The heater assembly has a heating element and has steam holes formed therealong. The heater assembly is in fluid communication with the liquid container and receives hygienic wipes from the roller assembly. Upon activation of the hygienic wipes steamer, liquid flows into the heater assembly from the liquid container and is transformed into steam when heated by the heating element such that the steam passes through the steam holes and warms the hygienic wipe that is supported by the heater assembly. The ejector assembly ejects the warmed hygienic wipes from the hygienic wipes steamer.

Abstract: A sack for a baby is provided. The sack may be worn by a baby while sleeping to ensure that the baby is kept warm during cold nights. The sack also provides additional protection to the baby from overheating via a heat vent which allows hot air from within the sack to pass therethrough as the inside temperature of the sack rises to an unacceptable level. The heat vent may be covered with a mesh which allows hot air to pass therethrough but prevents a baby's legs and feet from passing therethrough.

Abstract: There is provided a clothing for measuring and displaying a temperature of a baby's body and/or the temperature inside the clothing.
