Publication number: 20100114666Abstract: System and method for optimizing composition of a pool from which members are selected to serve on market research panels are described. In one embodiment, the system includes a database comprising a plurality of member profiles and survey data associated with the members and a datamart for periodically scanning the database to discover events and subsequently logging each of the discovered events in an event log. The system further includes an offense module for periodically evaluating the event log to determine whether one of the discovered events comprises an offense committed by one of the members and logging the offense in an offense log and an audit module for performing an audit of the one of the members and logging results of the audit in an audit log.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: eREWARDS, INC.Inventors: Harold Milton Brierley, Stephen Allen Myers, Sean Warren Eidson, James Sterling Harter, James F.

Publication number: 20100101469Abstract: Left and right main hoppers offset laterally from each other on opposite sides of the centerline of a seeding machine provide an operator access area between the hoppers. A third hopper located forwardly of and between the two main hoppers has a capacity less than that of each of the main hoppers for refuge or male seed. The hoppers are sized to maximize productivity. In one embodiment, first and second hoppers communicate with downstream conduit structure, and valve structure selects one or the other of the first and second hoppers for delivery of the material. The valve structure can be operated remotely and can be map based. Alternatviely, selectively blockable nozzle structure is located in the first and second hoppers. Easily changeable connector structure facilitates row pattern selection and hose routing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2010Publication date: April 29, 2010Inventors: Donald Keith Landphair, Christopher Allen Myers, Patrick Eugene Pinkston, Richard Hugo Clark, Chris Warren Foster, Chad Erik Braden, Robert Wallace Martin

Patent number: 7024939Abstract: A method for inducing strain on a workpiece includes the step of providing a testing apparatus having a first set of teeth and a second set of teeth. The workpiece is placed adjacent to the first or second set of teeth. The second set of teeth is disposed on a movable carriage which linearly reciprocates thereby allowing the first and the second sets of teeth to engage and disengage each other. A commanded position by time is provided to the carriage while the actual position by time of the carriage is measured. The first set of teeth are in communication with at least one load cell such that when the first set of teeth engage the second set of teeth, the load applied by the carriage is measured. The actual position by time data and the load data are manipulated to produce vast information pertaining to the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2004Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Barry Jay Anderson, Michael Joseph Lamping, Eugene Paul Daut, Randall Allen Myers, George Stephen Reising, Anand Rudra Venkitaraman

Patent number: 6994038Abstract: A product-on-demand delivery system for agricultural product overcomes the problem of over pressuring near application units in order to achieve sufficient pressure to feed further application units. The invention provides two or more main hoppers, each hopper pressurized to a different level by a fan that charges the air nozzles on the hoppers. The near row application units have product delivery hoses that are coupled to a first hopper. The far row application units have longer product delivery hoses that are coupled to a second hopper. The fan charging the second hopper is configured to pressurize the second hopper to a higher pressure than the pressure of the first hopper. The invention provides separate product-on-demand delivery systems to better control the product flow to the row application units on the machine. A product-on-demand delivery system is also provided that can dispense two different products from two main hoppers operated at different pressures.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2004Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Nathan Albert Mariman, Matthew Brian Hagen, Christopher Allen Myers
