Patent number: 11441190Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for the identification and treatment of ovarian cancers, such as small cell ovarian cancers, in particular small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), which ovarian cancers are characterized by reduced SMARCA4 gene expression and/or protein function and, as a consequence, are sensitive to growth and/or survival inhibition by one or more compounds that restore SMARCA4 gene expression and/or protein function.Type: GrantFiled: January 1, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTERInventors: Douglas A. Levine, Michael F. Berger, Robert A Soslow, Petar Jelinic

Patent number: 10549925Abstract: An apparatus is for conveying cases from an upstream end to one of a first downstream end and a second downstream end. The apparatus includes a conveyor and a diverter assembly that receives the case and dispenses the case toward the first downstream end or the second downstream end. The diverter assembly is pivotable to thereby direct the case toward the first downstream end or the second downstream end, and the diverter assembly is configured to clamp the case to thereby stop conveyance of the case as the diverter assembly pivots and also pivot the case to clear an obstruction presented by an adjacent conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2019Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Cannon Equipment LLCInventors: Douglas Levine, Mark Ronald Rosa, Gregory Lawrence Nordling

Publication number: 20190381540Abstract: A case washer for use in a dairy processing machine has an enclosure through which the cases are conveyed, a plurality of nozzles that spray a fluid into the enclosure to thereby remove debris from the cases as the cases are conveyed through the enclosure, and a funnel that receives the fluid and the debris from the enclosure. A sidehill screen assembly receives the fluid and the debris from the funnel. The sidehill screen assembly has a screen along which the fluid and the debris are conveyed such that the fluid percolates through the screen and the debris is collected on the screen and the debris falls off the screen under force of gravity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2019Publication date: December 19, 2019Applicant: Cannon Equipment LLCInventor: Douglas Levine

Publication number: 20190352101Abstract: A system for loading containers onto a transport structure includes a slip sheet configured to receive the containers. The slip sheet is moveable from a first position in which the containers are received onto the slip sheet and a second position in which the slip sheet is vertically above the transport structure. A first brace member is adjacent to the second end of the slip sheet and a second brace member is adjacent to the first end of the slip sheet when the slip sheet is in the second position such that when the slip sheet is moved in a second direction from the second position to the first position the second brace member is configured to prevent the containers from moving in the second direction with the slip sheet and the containers vertically fall off the slip sheet onto the transport structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Applicant: Cannon Equipment LLCInventors: Douglas Levine, Mark Ronald Rosa, Gregory Lawrence Nordling, Phillip E. Levine, Sagar D. Bhogle

Publication number: 20190352047Abstract: A system for loading containers onto a pallet or a dolly includes a conveyor configured to convey the pallet or the dolly from an upstream end to an opposite downstream end. The conveyor has a first conveyance device configured to convey the pallet and a second conveyance device configured to convey the dolly. The second conveyance device is vertically below the first conveyance device such that the pallet is conveyed above the second conveyance device. A loading system is configured to receive, organize, and load the containers onto the dolly or the pallet conveyed by the conveyor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Applicant: Cannon Equipment LLCInventors: Douglas Levine, Mark Ronald Rosa, Gregory Lawrence Nordling, Phillip E.

Patent number: 10414595Abstract: Various continuous chain conveyors, parts for same (e.g., chain guides, chain drives, etc.), packaging and handling equipment and systems and related methods are disclosed herein. In one form, a chain conveyor comprising a primary continuous chain having a first portion configured to carry objects along a path and a return portion, a motor operably coupled to the primary continuous chain so as to induce movement of the chain, a first sprocket engaging the return portion of the primary continuous chain, wherein movement of the return portion causes the first sprocket to rotate, a second sprocket coupled to the first sprocket by a drive shaft, wherein rotation of the first sprocket causes the second sprocket to rotate, and an auxiliary chain operably coupled to the second sprocket such that rotation of the second sprocket causes movement of the auxiliary chain.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Cannon Equipment LLCInventors: Douglas Levine, Mark R. Rosa

Publication number: 20190276243Abstract: A conveyor for conveying and supporting a chain includes a frame member having a first slot and a second slot spaced apart from each other along the frame member and a liner configured to support the chain relative to the frame member. A first fastener and a second fastener are spaced apart from each other and extend from the liner toward the frame member such that the liner is installed onto the frame member by moving the first fastener into the first slot and sliding the liner along the frame member until the second fastener is aligned with the second slot and can be moved into the second slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2018Publication date: September 12, 2019Applicant: Cannon Equipment LLCInventor: Douglas Levine

Patent number: 8099415Abstract: Job listings retrieved from external sources are pre-processed prior to being stored in the search engine production database and duplicate records identified prior to storage in a production database for the search engine. Inter-source and intra-source hash values are calculated for each job listing and the values compared. Job listings having the same intra-source hash are judged to be duplicates of each other. Descriptions whose intra-source hash values do not match, but whose inter-source hash values match are judged to be duplicate candidates and subject to further processing. Suffixes for each such record are stored to a data structure such as a suffix array and the records searched and compared based on the suffix arrays. Records having a pre-determined number of contiguous words in common are judged to be duplicates. Duplicate records are identified before the data set is stored to the production data base.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2006Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Simply Hired, Inc.Inventors: Tong Luo, Peter Michael Weck, Antony Sequeira, Neelesh Tendulkar, Shai Bentov, James Douglas Levine
