G06Q 10/00
G06Q 99/00
US Classification:
705 741, 705 742, 705319, 705 721, 705 713
Abstract:
Systems and methods for evaluating a worker in performing crowd sourced tasks and providing in-task training are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for selecting a job distributed through a job distribution platform for workers to work on, for use to generate a test task, the job being associated with a known correct result, associating a manipulated result, known to be an incorrect result for the job, with the job to generate the test task, and/or presenting the job with the manipulated result as the test task to a worker for evaluation of work quality of the worker. The job distribution platform crowd sources tasks online to workers to work on via their respective computing devices.

US Patent:
8626545, Jan 7, 2014
Filed:
Oct 17, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/275284
Inventors:
Christopher R. Van Pelt - San Francisco CA, US
Ryan Cox - San Franciscio CA, US
Alex Sorokin - San Franciscio CA, US
Michael Juster - San Franciscio CA, US
Assignee:
CrowdFlower, Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
G06Q 10/00
G06Q 99/00
US Classification:
705 713, 705 714, 705 721, 705 739, 705 741, 705 742, 705317, 705319
Abstract:
Systems and methods of a job distribution platform for aggregating performance data in a worker profile for workers in performing crowd sourced tasks are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of generating and storing performance data when a worker performs one or more tasks distributed online to their respective computing devices by a job distribution platform which crowd sources tasks over a network to remote workers. The tasks can span current jobs and a history of previous jobs distributed to the worker and the job performance data for the worker is collected for current and previous jobs. New jobs can be assigned to a worker selected based on performance data of the worker.

Cleaning Feature For Electric Charging Connector

US Patent:
8627534, Jan 14, 2014
Filed:
Apr 20, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/090952
Inventors:
Christopher Hugo Van Dyke - San Francisco CA, US
Scott Ira Kohn - Redwood City CA, US
Vineet Haresh Mehta - San Francisco CA, US
Troy A. Nergaard - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Tesla Motors, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
B08B 9/00
B08B 1/00
US Classification:
15 211, 15 971, 15106, 15118, 134 6, 134 8
Abstract:
A contamination cleaner for a socket of a charging connector used with a charging station for an electric vehicle wherein the charging connector mates to a charging coupler of the electric vehicle during charging includes a housing mechanically configured generally similarly to the charging coupler enabling the housing to mechanically mate to the charging connector; and a cleaning contact, coupled to the housing and complementary to the socket, for engaging the socket and removing surface contaminants from the socket whenever the housing mechanically mates to the charging connector.
