International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715255, 715243, 715256, 715269

Abstract:

The invention is directed to a system and method for automatically enabling the font size for text in a web page to be maintained as intended across different types of platforms and without disabling the native controls for adjusting font sizes. If a web page that employs the invention is selected for display, the type of platform, i. e. , particular operating system and browser application, for displaying the web page is automatically determined. Once the platform is determined, the invention automatically provides the platform with predetermined small, big, and default font sizes that enable the display of the text at the same size(s) as intended for the web page. Research is performed for the different types of platforms to predetermine font sizes for small, big and default text that will enable the display of text as intended by the author of the web page at a similar size on each platform.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 10

Abstract:

The present invention relates to systems and methods for preloading one or more content items. The method according to one embodiment comprises receiving a content item at a client device in response to a first request from a user, determining a context for the user and preloading one or more components into a cache on the basis of the determined context for the user. Components from the cache are loaded in response to a second request from the user.

Abstract:

A system and method are provided for generating and transmitting push notifications in connection with a transport service. Push notification triggers can be configured by a user via an application-based user interface corresponding to an application specific to the transport service. A user profile associated with the user can be accessed to detect one or more preconfigured push notification triggers, and thereafter transport service activity can be dynamically monitored for trigger events. Such trigger events can cause the system to generate and transmit push notifications to the user's mobile device.

Matthew Sweeney - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/02
G06Q 10/00

Abstract:

A system and method for arranging a transport service is described. A system can receive a request for transport service from a user device. The request can include a requested pickup location data point. The system determines a predetermined location data point associated with the requested pickup location data point. The first predetermined location data point can be different from the requested pickup location data point. The system selects a driver to perform a transport service for the user based, at least in part, on the requested pickup location data point, and transmits the predetermined location data point to a driver device of the selected driver.

Abstract:

A system and method for providing position information of a transit object to a computing device is provided. Global positioning satellite (GPS) information of a transit object can be periodically received. For each of some of the GPS information, one or more candidate points of a transit system can be identified based on the GPS information. Using the one or more candidate points, a most likely path of travel can be determined. Additional position points along the most likely path of travel can be extrapolated and transmitted to a computing device.

John Bares - San Francisco CA, US
David LaRose - San Francisco CA, US
Matthew Sweeney - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G05D 1/00
G01C 21/34

Abstract:

An event is detected that impairs a confidence level of the autonomous vehicle in progressing through a current route. In response to detecting the event, the autonomous vehicle communicates information about the event to a remote source of guidance. The autonomous vehicle can receive instructions from the remote source of guidance on how to handle the event. The autonomous vehicle can then implement the instructions to handle the event while it operates.

Abstract:

A positionable tool support device is mounted near a work surface for supporting a tool for a user. The tool support device includes a surface mount to secure the tool support device to a support surface. A gravity-balancing articulated arm assembly is coupled to and extends from the surface mount. The gravity-balancing articulated arm assembly is selectively adjustable about both vertical and horizontal axes. A rigid support extension is coupled to the gravity-balancing articulated arm assembly for selective rotation relative to the gravity-balancing articulated arm assembly. A flexible tensile member is coupled to and extends, in a relaxed state, vertically downward from the rigid support extension. The tensile member is coupled to the tool.
