Abstract: An online concierge system allows users to order items within discrete time intervals later than a time when an order was received or for short-term fulfillment when the order was received. To account for a number of shoppers available to fulfill orders during different discrete time intervals and numbers of orders for fulfillment during different discrete time intervals, the online concierge system specifies a target rate for orders fulfilled later than a specified discrete time interval and a threshold from the target rate. A trained machine learning model periodically predicts a percentage of orders being fulfilled late, with an order associated with a predicted percentage when the order was received. The online concierge system increases a price of orders associated with predicted percentages greater than the threshold from the target rate. The increased price of an order is determined from a price elasticity curve and the predicted percentage.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and methods for ear canal deformation based user authentication using in-ear wearables. This system provides continuous and passive user authentication and is transparent to users. It leverages ear canal deformation that combines the unique static geometry and dynamic motions of the ear canal when the user is speaking for authentication. It utilizes an acoustic sensing approach to capture the ear canal deformation with the built-in microphone and speaker of the in-ear wearable. Specifically, it first emits well-designed inaudible beep signals and records the reflected signals from the ear canal. It then analyzes the reflected signals and extracts fine-grained acoustic features that correspond to the ear canal deformation for user authentication.

Abstract: An online concierge system displays an interface to a user identifying an estimated time of arrival for an order. To generate the estimated time of arrival for the order, the online concierge system trains a prediction engine to predict delivery time based on a predicted selection time for a shopper to select the order for fulfillment and predicted travel time for the shopper to deliver items of the order to a location identified by the order. The online concierge system generates a policy optimization model that computes an adjustment for the predicted delivery time. The adjustment is determined by solving a stochastic optimization problem with a constraint on a probability of the order being delivered after the estimated time of arrival. The predicted delivery time combined with the adjustment determines the estimated time of delivery displayed to the user to balance between minimizing late deliveries and wait times.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a braking technology of a vehicle, and in particular to a high fault tolerance brake system for a vehicle, a control method for the brake system, and a computer readable medium. The brake system comprises two control modules (211, 212) and an electric brake device (131; 132) provided on each wheel of the vehicle. Each of the electric brake devices (131; 132) may receive brake requests from the two control modules (211, 212) generated in response to a brake demand to brake or release a corresponding wheel. The brake system may further comprise a raw signal acquisition module (311) for acquiring a raw signal indicating the brake demand and directly transmitting the raw signal to at least one of the electric brake devices (131; 132) for verifying the brake requests. The present invention may improve fault tolerance of the vehicle brake system.

Abstract: An online concierge system allows users to order items within discrete time intervals later than a time when an order was received. The online concierge system allocates a specified percentage of an estimated number of shoppers during a discrete time interval to fulfilling orders received before the discrete time interval. An order may include a flag authorizing flexible fulfillment of the order along with a discrete time interval, which allows the order to be fulfilled earlier than the identified discrete time interval. The online concierge system generates groups of multiple orders authorizing flexible fulfillment and determines a cost for fulfilling different groups of orders. The online concierge system identifies a group of orders authorizing flexible fulfillment having a minimum cost for fulfillment by a shopper, allowing for more allocation of shoppers by enabling grouping of orders identifying different discrete time intervals.

Abstract: A computing system can facilitate an on-demand delivery service by receiving menu item requests and transmit corresponding order requests to menu item preparers. The system can execute one or more trained predictive models using a set of current predictive metrics for the menu item preparer to generate probability curves for driver wait time and menu item sit time against a logical cost to the on-demand delivery service. The system may then utilize the curves to determine an optimal arrival time for a selected delivery provider to pick up the menu items for delivery.
