Patent number: 11279539Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to cargo assemblages that may include containers of rolled products stacked on pallets in an underhung or partially underhung configuration and secured thereto with film and methods of producing such cargo assemblages. The load may include containers of absorbent paper product arranged in stacked layers from a bottom layer of containers to a top layer of containers. The load and the pallet are sized such that the load defines a footprint that is smaller, at least in some portions, than a footprint of the pallet to create an underhung or partially underhung configuration. A film may be applied to connect the load with the pallet and to connect neighboring stacked layers together. The film may be wrapped around the pallet and/or layers of containers with a wrap profile having different characteristics, such as for example, containment forces; tensions; numbers of layers, and/or locations of layers with respect to the load, the pallet, and/or each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Mark A.

Publication number: 20210263186Abstract: A computer system provides location-based weather services. Weather data is processed to determine one or more weather values for a location. The one or more weather values are compared to baseline weather data for the location to identify a weather event, wherein the weather event is identified in response to determining that the one or more weather values deviate from a corresponding one or more baseline values of the baseline weather data by a threshold amount. A request is received from a user device for weather information for the location. Information relating to the weather event is provided to the user device. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for providing location-based weather services in substantially the same manner described above.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2020Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Rodney Thompson, Douglas George Dempster, James John Politis, Ronald Harris, Tanya Simkhovich, Frederick Scott Eliot

Patent number: 11078984Abstract: A damping system includes a spool about which a tension line is wound. The line's first end is coupled to a first structure subject to forces causing unwanted movement thereof. A damper is coupled to a second structure not subject to the unwanted movement of the first structure. The damper is coupled to the spool for engagement with the spool to slow a rotational speed thereof when the spool rotates in a first direction. The damper is disengaged from the spool when the spool rotates in a second direction in opposition to the first direction. A device, coupled to the line's second end and to the second structure, applies a tension force to the line's second end. The tension force is exceeded when the first structure moves to place the line in tension, and is not exceeded when the first structure moves to place the line in compression.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2020Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Inventors: Frederick Scott Gant, Robert E.

Publication number: 20200226686Abstract: A portfolio allocation system receives liability data indicating expected future obligations of a pension plan and determines a current value of the future obligations using one or more discount methods. The portfolio allocation system applies a liability risk model to calculate risks associated with the current value. The risks include an interest rate portion and a credit spread portion. The portfolio allocation system determines a proportion of plan capital to dedicate to hedging each of the interest rate portion and the credit spread portion and determines a benchmark for securities to obtain based on the determined proportions. The benchmark may be provided for display to a user in a user interface. The user interface may also include controls for identifying and obtaining securities that are consistent with of the benchmark.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2020Publication date: July 16, 2020Inventor: Frederick Scott McDermott
