Publication number: 20240078251Abstract: The systems and methods described here can reduce the storage space required (memory and/or disk) to store certain types of data, provide efficient (fast) creation, modification and retrieval of such data, and support such data within the framework of a multi-version database. In some embodiments, the systems and methods can store each field of a set of records as a vector of values, e.g., a data vector. A set of records can be represented using a vector id vector, or “vid” vector, wherein each element of the vid vector contains a reference to the memory location of a data vector. A header table can store associations between labels and “vid” vectors that pertain to those labels. Identical data vectors can be re-used between different record sets or vid vectors needing that vector, thus saving space.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Robert N. WALKER, James R. CROZMAN, Jansen Donald KRAY, Mosa To Fung YEUNG, James Gordon DAGG

Patent number: 11128839Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of devices, methods, and software for image processing to identifying conditions of interest within SSTs, such as ATMs and self-checkout POS terminals. Conditions of interest may include media misalignment within media cassettes, such as currency, and items within an SST reject bin that have not been removed when the SST is being serviced. One method embodiment includes receiving an image from an imaging device located within an SST, the image including a view of at least one area of interest within the SST. This method further includes processing the image to detect presence of a condition of interest within at least one of the at least one areas of interest and generating and providing an alert of a detected presence of the condition of interest with regard to at least one of the areas of interest.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Derek Pont, Gordon Walker

Publication number: 20200253163Abstract: The application discloses a multi-chamber, multi-formulation fluid delivery system, comprising a multi-chamber applicator in fluid communication with multi-chamber packaging. Applicators according to the instant disclosure have reduced squeeze-strength requirements, and are useful for dispensing fluids, including medicaments, to animals, including livestock animals. The multi-chamber packaging provides separate storage for formulations containing incompatible active ingredients, and is suitable for use with the multi-chamber applicator. The application also discloses methods for using the system to simultaneously deliver multiple active ingredients, at least some of which are not suitable for co-formulation, thus reducing the time, economic burden and animal stress involved with applying multiple, separate formulations to animals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2019Publication date: August 13, 2020Applicant: Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA Inc.Inventors: Todd Luepke Prescott, Rodney Gordon Walker, Gareth Nigel Lauchlan, David Andrew Trow

Patent number: 10588103Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to synchronization for standalone long term evolution (LTE) broadcast. In one aspect, a method is provided which may be performed by a wireless device such as a base station (BS). The method generally includes providing unicast coverage to one or more user equipments (UEs) in a unicast coverage area within a larger coverage area, transmitting unicast data in one or more subframes, and transmitting synchronization signals within one or more of the broadcast subframes, wherein the broadcast signals are transmitted as single frequency network (SFN) transmissions synchronized with transmissions from one or more other base stations providing unicast coverage within the larger coverage area.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Shimman Arvind Patel, Yongbin Wei, Peter Gaal, Alberto Rico Alvarino, Gordon Walker, Wanshi Chen, Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Juan Montojo

Patent number: 10583252Abstract: A trigger operated syringe (100) for intramammary injection of antibiotics has a fluid containing syringe cartridge (203) activated by a plunger (206) which is inserted into the syringe cartridge (203A) and expels fluid when the trigger (205) is pulled. A syringe cartridge holding mechanism (223) holds the syringe cartridge in place until the trigger (205) is released and the plunger (206) retracted. Single syringe cartridge (203) and multiple syringe cartridge (204) versions are disclosed. The plunger moves in a direction which is effectively perpendicular to the direction of movement of the trigger, allowing for ease of injection to a cow's teats, and ejection of the spent cartridges.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM ANIMAL HEALTH USA INC.Inventors: Robert William Lachlan Holmes, Rodney Gordon Walker, Todd Donald Ebbett, Colin Anthony Standing, Peter Robert Williams, Giovanni Ciampa, Michael Rossignuolo, Robert John Smith

Publication number: 20180363073Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the removal of contaminants from a liquor, the process comprising: introducing a metal or ammonium hydroxide into the liquor; introducing the liquor into a reaction vessel; bubbling a carbon dioxide gas comprising at least 25% carbon dioxide through the liquor within the reaction vessel; and separating the precipitate formed by the carbonation of the metal hydroxide from the liquor, the precipitate comprising at least some of the contaminants from the liquor; wherein, on average, the liquor is resident within the reaction vessel for a period of no more than about 60 minutes. The invention also relates to a process for the removal of contaminants from a liquor, the process comprising: introducing a metal or ammonium hydroxide into the liquor and bubbling a carbon dioxide gas comprising at least 25% carbon dioxide through the liquor to fom1 a precipitate by carbonation in a period of no more than about 60 minutes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: John Kerr, Anthony Baiada, Robert Jansen, Matthew Shue, Gordon Walker
