Patent number: 11957132Abstract: A method of storing potatoes, the method comprising the steps of: i. providing a plurality of dormant potatoes, wherein the potatoes have been cured after harvesting; ii. treating the potatoes with 1-methylcyclopropene, the treatment comprising exposing the potatoes, which are at a first treatment temperature within the range of from 10 to 30° C., to 1-methylcyclopropene; storing the potatoes at a second storage temperature within the range of from greater than 1 to up to 6° C. for a storage period within a potato store, wherein the storage period extends continuously until at least 1 week after initiation of eye movement in at least one of the potatoes, and wherein during the storage period the potatoes are stored in atmospheric air free of an external supply of ethylene sprout suppressant.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Frito-Lay Trading Company GmbHInventors: Gemma A. Chope, Simon C. McWilliam, Leon A. Terry, Katherine Cools, Roberta Tosetti

Patent number: 10470473Abstract: A method of storing potatoes comprises storing a plurality of endodormant or ecodormant potatoes in a first gaseous environment including carbon dioxide in an amount of from greater than the amount of carbon dioxide present in atmospheric air to up to 5 mol % based on the composition of the first gaseous environment; and in a subsequent storage step storing the potatoes in a second gaseous environment including carbon dioxide in an amount of from 0.03 to 2 mol % based on the composition of the second gaseous environment, the first and second gaseous environments having different carbon dioxide contents. The method may comprise: monitoring the dormancy of the potatoes; in response to eye movement of a potato, changing the first gaseous environment to a second gaseous environment; maintaining a level of carbon dioxide in the second gaseous environment below a selected threshold to control sugar content of the potatoes.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2013Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: FRITO-LAY TRADING COMPANY GMBHInventors: Leon A.

Patent number: 10261867Abstract: A system and method for selecting point-in-time copies of data objects for restore operations. A user operates a mobile device with a touch screen, which is connected to a backup server through a network. The user selects a given data object from a graphical user interface (GUI) to restore from a backup server and selects a point-in-time for restoration. The mobile device searches point-in-time (PIT) indicator data corresponding to PIT backup copies of the given data object. If the mobile device determines there is no PIT indicator for the requested point-in-time, then the mobile device identifies one or more backups that include the given data object, automatically selects one of the one or more backups as a proposed backup for restoration, and automatically adjusts the input of the user on the graphical user interface to identify the selected one of the one or more backups.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Veritas Technologies LLCInventors: Victor Leon Terry, II, Gary Boix

Patent number: 10055184Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing card-based interfaces for enumerable datasets may include (1) identifying computing resources within a computing environment subject to a unified administration, (2) identifying a request to display the computing resources within a graphical user interface, (3) portraying each computing resource within the graphical user interface as a card that includes (i) a button interface element on a front face of the card that, when invoked, presents a radial menu of actions to perform on the computing resource, (ii) a summary description of the computing resource on the front face of the card, (iii) a flipping interface element that, when invoked, flips the card between the front face of the card and a back face of the card, and (iv) a detailed description of the computing resource on the back face of the card. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Veritas Technologies LLCInventors: Timothy Ferrell, Kirk Freiheit, Victor Leon Terry, II
