Patent number: 10021000Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the provisioning of a device using an embedded cable modem media access control (MAC) address. An optical network unit (ONU) may include an embedded cable modem, wherein the embedded cable modem has a dedicated MAC address. Provisioning servers may provide identical configuration files to a virtual cable modem at an optical line termination (OLT) and the embedded cable modem at the ONU. The embedded cable modem MAC address, along with an associated Internet protocol (IP) stack, enables traditional DOCSIS cable modem provisioning and management over a passive optical network.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Wade E. Carter, Janet Taylor Bean, Daniel Torbet, Michael J. Emmendorfer

Publication number: 20140221206Abstract: The invention provides a herbicidal composition comprising a mixture of: (a) polymeric microparticles containing a first herbicide, wherein the first herbicide is a synthetic auxin herbicide (e.g. dicamba, MCPA or 2,4-D) or an acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor herbicide (e.g. triasulfuron, tribenuron-methyl, iodosulfuron-methyl, mesosulfuron-methyl, sulfosulfuron, flupyrsulfuron-methyl, or pyroxsulam); wherein the first herbicide, when in a salt-free form and when not contained within polymeric microparticles, antagonises the herbicidal activity of pinoxaden; and (b) pinoxaden; wherein the polymeric microparticles are controlled-release matrices, within which is the first herbicide, and which function in such a way as to control and/or slow down the release of the first herbicide from the polymeric microparticles into a liquid (e.g. aqueous) medium when the polymeric microparticles are placed (e.g. dispersed) in and in contact with the liquid medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2012Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: SYNGENTA LIMITEDInventors: Carol Formstone, Martine Ingrid De Heer, Philip Taylor, Sian Janet Taylor

Patent number: 8541040Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing protein microparticles in dilute organic acid solutions and in the absence of an alcohol such as ethanol. The microparticles are formed by dissolving a cereal prolamin protein in a concentrated organic acid solution with agitation and then diluting the solution with an aqueous solution. Protein microparticles having vacuoles are thus formed. The protein microparticles may be used to form powders, films, coatings, matrices, scaffolds and the like. Complete films can be formed from the protein microparticles of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2013Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: University of PretoriaInventors: Janet Taylor, John Reginald Nuttall Taylor

Patent number: 7524943Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences commonly designated CJAS1 comprising a novel gene from plants. The novel gene encodes a protein that is involved in seed formation and is associated with plant defense. The invention further relates to the use of the nucleotide sequence in the sense or antisense orientation to inhibit the expression of the plant gene corresponding to the CJAS1 sequence as a means to alter seed metabolism in plants, particularly cruciferous plants, more particularly Brassica species, to generate seeds with reduced fiber content and/or altered seed coats. The invention also relates to similar genes expressed in other plant species. The invention also relates to the discovery that the CJAS1 gene is involved in proanthocyanidin (PA) formation.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2007Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: National Research Council of CanadaInventors: Zhifu Zheng, Tina Uchacz, Janet Taylor
