Patent number: 10055747Abstract: A consumer portal enables consumers to review data collected about those consumers in a privacy-protected manner, through authentication using personally identifiable information (PII) and a linking service supported by a marketing database. Once consumers review this data, they may then edit this data or determine whether they wish it to be used for marketing purposes. They are also presented with various opt-out facilities. The consumer portal is accessible by computers, tablets, smartphones, and other computing devices with Internet-access capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Acxiom CorporationInventors: Rochelle Sherman, Joshua Freeman, Jennifer Barrett Glasgow, David Nash, Ann Kennedy

Patent number: 9100630Abstract: A perimeter around a detected object in a frame of image data can be generated in a first coordinate system. The perimeter can be converted from the first coordinate system into a second coordinate system having the same aspect ratio as the first coordinate system. A first metadata entry can include dimensions of image data in the second coordinate system. A second metadata entry can provide a location and dimensions of the converted perimeter in the second coordinate space. Additional metadata can indicate matching objects between frames, position of an object relative to other objects in a frame, a probability that an object is correctly detected, and a total number of objects detected across multiple frames of image data.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: David William Singer, Courtney Ann Kennedy

Patent number: 7354776Abstract: A method and kit for processing and testing powdered samples are provided herein. The powdered sample is combined with a fluid to produce a slurry or liquid suspension, and the slurry is contacted with an immunochromatographic test strip containing detectable reagents that are immunoreactive with an analyte to be detected in the sample. The method is particularly useful for the analysis of agricultural products or crops, such as the identification of recombinant grains.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2000Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Strategic Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Tara Ann Kennedy, Alan Bruce McQuillin

Patent number: 7263257Abstract: A first embodiment of the invention provides a Gires-Tournois etalon (DGTE) 20 comprising a cladding mode suppressed optical fibre 22, including an etalon section 24 in which a weakly reflective optical waveguide grating 26 and a strongly reflective optical waveguide grating 28 are provided. The two gratings 26, 28 are chirped fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs). The chirped FBGs 26, 28 are arranged to together define an etalon cavity. Another aspect of the invention provides a dispersion compensator 60 comprising two DGTEs 62, 64 according to the first embodiment of the invention. The DGTEs 62, 64 have a linearly varying dispersion over a selected optical bandwidth. The first DGTE 62 has a positive dispersion slope and the second DGTE 64 has a negative dispersion slope. The magnitudes of the dispersion slopes of the two DGTEs 62, 64 are substantially equal, so that the dispersion compensator 60 has a constant dispersion across the selected bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2002Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Aston UniversityInventors: Catherine Anne Sugden, Xuewen Shu, Lee Ann Kennedy, Kevin Christopher Byron

Patent number: 7255887Abstract: Provided is a use for Bowman Birk Inhibitor (BBI), as administered in Bowman Birk Inhibitor Concentrate (BBIC), for the treatment of autoimmune diseases in a patient, wherein the disease is characterized by chronic inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis; and more particularly for the treatment of those diseases that are characterized by chronic neuroinflammation and/or demyelination, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). In addition, the present invention provides methods for using BBI/BBIC to reduce, inhibit, suppress or prevent the chronic inflammation in such patients; and more particularly, to reduce, inhibit, suppress or prevent the chronic neuroinflammation and demyelination that occurs when the patient's nerve tissues are affected by the disease.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2003Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: The Trustees of the University of PennsylvaniaInventors: Abdolmohamad Rostami, Ann Kennedy
