Patent number: 11455666Abstract: Illustrative embodiments are directed to methods and computer systems for reporting unusual or anomalous usage a commodity by consumers. A computer system retrieves a set of usage-information datasets corresponding to a set of consumers, each dataset including past usage of the commodity during at least one of a completed billing period and a current usage of the commodity during the current billing period. The computer system establishes a set of report-trigger conditions for the current billing period, each of the report-trigger conditions corresponding to a consumer. The computer system may monitor usage or spending of the set of consumers to determine, for each consumer, whether an estimated usage established for each consumer fulfills the consumer's report-trigger condition. Once the report-trigger condition is fulfilled, the computer system outputs a report to the consumer.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: OPower, INC.Inventors: Janet Yu, Tom Mercer, Eric Chang, Richard Tyler Curtis, Daniel J.

Patent number: 9283273Abstract: A stable lyophilized protein formulation is described which can be reconstituted with a suitable diluent to generate a high protein concentration reconstituted formulation which is suitable for subcutaneous administration. For example, anti-IgE and anti-HER2 antibody formulations have been prepared by lyophilizing these antibodies in the presence of a lyoprotectant. The lyophilized mixture thus formed is reconstituted to a high protein concentration without apparent loss of stability of the protein.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: GENENTECH, INC.Inventors: James Andya, Jeffrey L. Cleland, Chung C. Hsu, Xanthe M. Lam, David E. Overcashier, Steven J. Shire, Janet Yu-Feng Yang, Sylvia Sau-Yan Wu

Patent number: 8103694Abstract: A method of storing and managing BOMs of different owners in the same environment. One or more BOMs have an owner. An owner's BOM may include confidential information such that unrestricted access to the confidential information is limited to the owner and any designates of the owner. In particular, one embodiment of the invention maintains a list of items that include the items in the BOMs of the different owners. A unique identifier is used for each item of the list. The item identifiers thus form one namespace. BOMs of different owners share data including confidential data within the same namespace.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2009Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Arena Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Michael Topolovac, Eric Larkin, Janet Yu

Patent number: 8046379Abstract: A system for securely uploading and downloading data from a client to a remote data storage location under control of a remote application program. The data is stored in encrypted form so that the data server has no access to the data. The data is associated with a bill of material (BOM) and may be accessed by users without providing access to the data space of the client. Also disclosed is a method and computer program so automatically assign access privileges to one or more users of data in a bill of material stored in a shared database such that the step of refining a role for the user for a data item automatically assigns access privileges for the user for the data and other related data items. Also described is linking BOMs to provide peer-to-peer access and views to different users. Also described is a method and software program that provides of propagation of data through the supply chain via one or more bills of materials.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2009Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Arena Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Janet Yu, Eric Larkin, Michael Topolovac

Publication number: 20060084276Abstract: A method for patterning a resist protection oxide (RPO) layer and a structure formed therefrom are disclosed. The method forms a RPO layer over a substrate. A patterned photoresist layer is formed over the RPO layer. A process is performed for bombarding a surface of the RPO layer by using ions which substantially do not chemically react with the RPO layer. A portion of the RPO layer is removed. The patterned photoresist layer is then removed. Accordingly, a RPO structure formed by the method described above is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventors: Janet Yu, Fu-Kai Yang
