Patent number: 9506811Abstract: Methods and systems for determining a temperature of goods in a temperature controlled unit are disclosed. Raw temperature data is received for a first iteration. The raw temperature data indicates an air temperature inside the temperature controlled unit at the first iteration. A property value for a good stored in the temperature controlled unit is obtained. Based on the raw temperature data for the first iteration and the property value for the good, a first adjusted stored goods temperature is determined for the good. The first adjusted stored goods temperature for the good represents a first internal temperature of the good. Additional iterations are performed, where raw temperature data is received for a second iteration. Based on the raw temperature for the second iteration and the property value for the good, a second adjusted stored goods temperature is determined.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: American Pharma Technologies, LLCInventors: Michael Richard Rusnack, Casey Alexander Harris, Marc Roger Hayden, Michael Altree

Publication number: 20160237000Abstract: The oligomerization of ethylene using a chromium catalyst having a heteroatomic ligand may be used to provide oligomerization products that are selective towards hexene and/or octene. However, such processes also typically produce some polymer as an undesirable by product. The present invention is directed towards improvements in the selective oligomerization of ethylene.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2016Publication date: August 18, 2016Applicant: NOVA Chemicals (International) S.A.Inventors: Isam Jaber, Ian Ronald Jobe, P.

Publication number: 20160240049Abstract: A gaming system which includes a bonus event associated with a bonus event time period or bonus event time window. The bonus event utilizes a plurality of bonus event component sequences, wherein each bonus event component sequence is associated with a plurality of time periods or windows which collectively (when accounting for any overlaps) forms the bonus event time period. In these embodiments, upon the triggering of the bonus event, the gaming system provides one or more awards in association with each bonus event component sequence. That is, for the single occurrence of a bonus event triggering event, the gaming system determines a plurality of winners for a plurality of different time periods that are each associated with the bonus event.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2016Publication date: August 18, 2016Inventors: Casey Alexander Harris, Wei Zang

Patent number: 9150968Abstract: High-surface-area carbon nanostructures coated with a smooth and conformal submonolayer-to-multilayer thin metal films and their method of manufacture are described. The manufacturing process may involve initial oxidation of the carbon nanostructures followed by immersion in a solution with the desired pH to create negative surface dipoles. The nanostructures are subsequently immersed in an alkaline solution containing non-noble metal ions which adsorb at surface reaction sites. The metal ions are then reduced via chemical or electrical means and the nanostructures are exposed to a solution containing a salt of one or more noble metals which replace adsorbed non-noble surface metal atoms by galvanic displacement. Subsequent film growth may be performed via the initial quasi-underpotential deposition of a non-noble metal followed by immersion in a solution comprising a more noble metal.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Brookhaven Science Associates, LLCInventors: Radoslav R.

Patent number: 8699207Abstract: High-surface-area carbon nanostructures coated with a smooth and conformal submonolayer-to-multilayer thin metal films and their method of manufacture are described. The preferred manufacturing process involves the initial oxidation of the carbon nanostructures followed by a surface preparation process involving immersion in a solution with the desired pH to create negative surface dipoles. The nanostructures are subsequently immersed in an alkaline solution containing a suitable quantity of non-noble metal ions which adsorb at surface reaction sites. The metal ions are then reduced via chemical or electrical means. The nanostructures are exposed to a solution containing a salt of one or more noble metals which replace adsorbed non-noble surface metal atoms by galvanic displacement. The process can be controlled and repeated to obtain a desired film coverage.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2009Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Brookhaven Science Associates, LLCInventors: Radoslav Adzic, Alexander Harris
