Publication number: 20220172160Abstract: A method and system for controlling a transfer of liquid from or to a transport vehicle uses a memory module on the vehicle to keep track of vehicle parameters. When a transfer request, having a plurality of transfer parameters, is received, transport vehicle parameters representative of a current condition of the transport vehicle are retrieved. The transfer parameters are compared to the transport vehicle parameters. The transfer proceeds as a result of determining that each comparison of a transfer parameter to a transport vehicle parameter is correct.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2020Publication date: June 2, 2022Applicant: Scully Signal CompanyInventors: Robert McGonagle, Steven Ent, Brian Marshall, Rohan Verma, James Carrington

Patent number: 9927965Abstract: A system and method is provided that facilitates the selection of individually selectable three dimensional objects displayed through a display device. The system may include at least one processor that is configured to determine at least one path that traverses the objects based on at least one motion input received through an input device. The processor may also cause at least two of the objects to be selected in a group while at least one of the objects remains unselected based on an amount of a surface area of each object that was traversed by the at least one path. In addition, the processor may cause at least one operation to be carried out on the group of at least two objects that are selected and not on the at least one object that remains unselected based on whether the objects are selected, responsive to at least one operation input received through the input device.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: SIEMENS PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT INC.Inventors: Dick Baardse, Michael Nelson, James Carrington, Timothy A. Kelker

Publication number: 20170159064Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of molecular biology, specifically relating to small RNA-directed regulation of gene expression. In particular, it relates to methods for down-regulating the expression of one or more target sequences in vivo. The disclosure also provides polynucleotide constructs and compositions useful in such methods, as well as cells, plants and seeds comprising the polynucleotides.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2016Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Alberto Carbonell, James Carrington

Publication number: 20110238540Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to account management including reporting financial transactions to an account holder in a transaction reporting statement and automatic payment of open account balances. Consolidating reporting criteria and/or balance management criteria can be specified to customize reporting and/or payment of purchase transactions. The consolidated reporting criteria can be applied to transactions to identify amalgamable transactions, which can be consolidated into a consolidated transaction. The balance management criteria can include scheduling criteria and payment criteria and can be applied to open account balances to facilitate payment of open account balances.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2010Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: James Carrington, Anant Nambiar, Mike Rethorn, Bob Reany

Publication number: 20100264226Abstract: A payment card has a generally planar body having a first side and a second side, and a plurality of acceptance attributes on the second side. The first side is formed without any acceptance attributes thereon. The first side may include artwork of an issuer of the payment card. The acceptance attributes may include, for example, a signature panel, a cardholder name, a card expiration date, at least one of a bar code and a magnetic stripe, and a card security code. A method of using such a card includes physically presenting the card to a merchant, and viewing, by the merchant, of at least needed ones of the acceptance attributes without the merchant being required to turn the card over.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2010Publication date: October 21, 2010Applicant: MasterCard International, IncorporatedInventors: Margaret Loughran, James Carrington, Edward Olebe, Charles Breuel, Charles Unger

Publication number: 20100088204Abstract: A method includes receiving transaction data associated with a payment transaction. The transaction data includes a payment account identifier. The payment account identifier identifies a payment account. The method further includes obtaining a spending history associated with the payment account identified by the payment account identifier. The spending history reflects a total amount of spending transactions charged to the payment account during a period of time. The method also includes providing an indication of the spending history to an acquirer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2009Publication date: April 8, 2010Inventors: Anant Nambiar, James Carrington, Denise Torreyson, Steven J.

Publication number: 20060174380Abstract: A method to generate siRNAs in vivo is described, as are constructs and compositions useful in the method. The method does not depend on the use of DNA or synthetic constructs that contain inverted duplications or dual promoters so as to form perfect or largely double-stranded RNA. Rather, the method depends on constructs that yield single-stranded RNA transcripts, and exploits endogenous or in vivo-produced miRNAs or siRNAs to initiate production of siRNAs. The miRNAs or siRNAs guide cleavage of the transcript and set the register for production of siRNAs (usually 21 nucleotides in length) encoded adjacent to the initiation cleavage site within the construct. The method results in specific formation of siRNAs of predictable size and register (phase) relative to the initiation cleavage site. The method can be used to produce specific siRNAs in vivo for inactivation or suppression of one or more target genes or other entities, such as pathogens.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: James Carrington, Edwards Allen

Patent number: 5939541Abstract: The present invention provides a method for enhancing the expression of genes in plants by supplying a virally encoded booster sequence comprising the 5' proximal region of the potyvirus genome to the plant. The booster sequence enhances the expression of foreign genes or endogenous plant genes in plants by employing any known methodology of expressing introduced genes in plants. The booster sequence may be used to enhance expression of any gene, including foreign genes or endogenous plant genes, introduced by means of stable transformation into the genome of the plant or introduced by expression from a plant viral expression vector.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1997Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: University of South CarolinaInventors: Vicki B.
