20140289800 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FILTERING NETWORK TRAFFIC - Protocol status information is used to perform traffic filtering by dropping messages that are not consistent with the protocol status information. In one embodiment, a method involves comparing message information and protocol status information. The message information is associated with a first message. The protocol status information is obtained in response to one or more second messages, which are conveyed according to a protocol used to assign network addresses to clients. The method also involves determining whether to discard the first message, based on an outcome of the comparison of the message information and the protocol status information. For example, it can be determined that the first message should be discarded, if the message information does not match the protocol status information. | 09-25-2014 |

20120204263 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING DOS ATTACKS ON TRUNK INTERFACES - A method of protecting a data network from denial of service (DOS) attacks is described. The method may use various network tools to selectively block or disable portions of a data trunk experiencing a DOS attack, thereby preventing the DOS attack from reaching at least some resources on the network. In one embodiment, a network switch identifies a virtual LAN (VLAN) carrying suspect data on a data trunk. The network switch then adjusts a spanning tree for the network so that one or more ports on the compromised VLAN are blocked or disabled, while non-compromised VLANs are allowed to continue carrying data. Other approaches are also presented for avoiding the loss of valid data when a network blocks one or more VLANs or other portions of a network in response to a DOS attack or other intrusion. | 08-09-2012 |

During a given interval when each of the multiple transport request are open, a pool of candidate drivers is determined within the geographic region that can fulfill one or more of the transport requests within a threshold duration of time. A driver is selected for each of the multiple transport requests. In selecting the driver, the computer system implements an optimization process to minimize an estimated time to pick up for at least one of the multiple transport requests | 06-11-2015 |
20150185041 | DETERMINING LOCATION INFORMATION USING A LOCATION DATA POINT PROVIDED BY A COMPUTING DEVICE - A system and method for determining location information using a location data point provided by a computing device is described. A location data point is received by a system from a client computing device. The system determines whether the location data point is within a predefined region from a plurality of predefined regions configured by a user of the system. If the location data point is within a predefined region, location information corresponding to the predefined region is transmitted to the client device. If the location data point is not within a predefined region, one or more third-party reverse geocoding services can be used that translates the location data point to a street address. | 07-02-2015 |
20150262430 | CONFIGURABLE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS FOR A TRANSPORT SERVICE - 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. | 09-17-2015 |

20140099615 | AUDITORY FEEDBACK DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SWIMMING SPEED - There is provided an auditory feedback swim training device for use by a swimmer. The device includes a flow meter connectable to the swimmer and configured to measure a flow rate of fluid while the swimmer is swimming. A control unit determines a speed or distance of the swimmer from the measured flow rate. A selection tool is in operative communication with the control unit and configured to receive a user input corresponding to desired swimming performance data. An auditory feedback device is wearable by the swimmer while swimming and in operative communication with the control unit. The control unit is configured to derive the desired swimming performance data from the determined speed of the swimmer and generate a feedback signal corresponding to the derived swimming performance data. The auditory playback device is configured to project an audible signal corresponding to the feedback signal while the swimmer is swimming. | 04-10-2014 |
