Publication number: 20240125028Abstract: Indigo-dyed garments are treated with an anti-ozone agent to prevent ozone-related degradation of the garments before laser finishing. Without treatment, the garments can exhibit color loss (e.g., color change or fading) from exposure to ozone in the atmosphere. The indigo-dyed garments with anti-ozone treatment can serve as base templates in a laser finishing process flow. The anti-ozone treatment of the base templates can include a rinse including an ascorbic acid or vitamin C constituent during a base preparation process. Then quantities of these base templates can manufactured and stored for periods of time without exhibiting ozone-related degradation effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: James Barton Sights, David Love, Elizabeth O'Neill, Benjamin Bell, Jennifer Schultz, Christopher Schultz, Debdulal Mahanty, Sachith Devendra Samarasinghe, Chatura Atukorala, Jeff Zens

Publication number: 20240099408Abstract: Delayed finishing of apparel products, such as by way of laser finishing, allows an operating model that reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduce product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Improved aspects include design, development, planning, merchandising, selling, making, and delivering. The model uses fabric templates, each of which can be used to produce a multitude of finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: James Barton James, David Love, Elizabeth O'Neill, Jeff Zens

Patent number: 8700993Abstract: Techniques for interacting with a client process on a mobile device connected to a network over a wireless link includes managing information at a mobile applications server executing on a platform connected to the network. The information includes device profile information about the mobile device. First data is received from an application. The first data describes graphical elements for display on the mobile device. It is determined whether the first data exceeds a capacity of the mobile device based on the device profile information. If it is determined that the first data exceeds the capacity, then a subset of the first data is formed that does not exceed the capacity of the mobile device. The subset of the first data is sent to the client process. If it is determined that an external converter does not convert using a particular format, then a first description of graphical elements is converted internally into a second description using the particular format.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jyotirmoy Paul, Jeff Barton, Anit Chakraborty, Siva Dirisala

Patent number: 8372542Abstract: An improved Ni—Zn cell with a negative electrode substrate plated with tin or tin and zinc during manufacturing has a reduced gassing rate. The copper or brass substrate is electrolytic cleaned, activated, electroplated with a matte surface to a defined thickness range, pasted with zinc oxide electrochemically active material, and baked. The defined plating thickness range of 40-80 ?In maximizes formation of an intermetallic compound Cu3Sn that helps to suppress the copper diffusion from under plating layer to the surface and eliminates formation of an intermetallic compound Cu6Sn5 during baking to provide adequate corrosion resistance during battery operation.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: PowerGenix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Feng Feng, Jeffrey Phillips, Samaresh Mohanta, Jeff Barton, Zeiad M.

Publication number: 20120018669Abstract: Active material for a positive electrode of a rechargeable alkaline electrochemical cell is made with nickel hydroxide particles or cobalt-coated nickel hydroxide particles treated with strongly oxidizing reagents such as alkali metal persulfate in alkaline solution. The active material also may be made with cobalt-coated nickel hydroxide particles having a high percentage of cobalt(III) on a surface or an average cobalt oxidation state of about 3 measured across the particles. The treated nickel hydroxide or cobalt-coated nickel hydroxide decreases the cobalt solubility in the alkaline electrolyte and increases the high-rate charge and discharge capability. The lower cobalt solubility decreases cobalt migration that can increase self discharge and lead to premature failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2011Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: POWERGENIX SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Mingming GENG, Samaresh MOHANTA, Jeffrey PHILLIPS, Zeiad M.

Patent number: 7200809Abstract: Techniques are provided that allow mobile devices to use database applications without having to specifically design the database applications to support all forms of mobile devices. In particular, techniques are provided in which the data coming out of a database application is formatted into Extended Markup Language (XML). The XML is the same regardless of which client is to receive the data. Prior to supplying the data to a client, the Extended Style Sheet (XSL) is applied to the data to format the data into the format required by the client.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2000Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jyotirmoy Paul, Jeff Barton, Anit Chakraborty, Siva Dirisala

Patent number: 7188183Abstract: Techniques for interacting with a client process on a mobile device connected to a network over a wireless link includes receiving a first request at a state machine executing on a first platform connected to the network. The first request is associated with the client process, and is for a service from an application. A first method of the application is invoked with first data in response to the first request. Second data for the client process is received from the application in response to invoking the first method. A first response is based on the second data. The first response is sent for the client process. The method includes managing information about a plurality of requests associated with the client process. The application executes on a second platform connected to the network. Both the first and second platforms are distinct from the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jyotirmoy Paul, Jeff Barton, Anit Chakraborty, Siva Dirisala

Patent number: 7051080Abstract: Techniques for interacting with a client process on a mobile device connected to a network over a wireless link to navigate an application includes managing information at a mobile application server executing on a platform connected to the network. The information includes first data describing a graphical element for display on the mobile device. The first data also includes a first reference to the graphical element and a second reference to a page associated with requesting a service from a first application. Second data, based on the first data, is sent to the client process for rendering the graphical element on the mobile device. The second data includes the first reference. Third data is received indicating the first reference in response to a user of the mobile device selecting the graphical element. In response to receiving the third data, the page from the first application is requested based on the second reference.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jyotirmoy Paul, Jeff Barton, Anit Chakraborty, Siva Dirisala

Patent number: 7013329Abstract: Techniques for interacting with a client process on a mobile device connected to a network over a wireless link include receiving, at a mobile interactions server, a first message from the client process. The first message indicates a first action by a user of the mobile device. The first action is related to a first graphical element displayed on the device for requesting a service from an application. Based on the first message, it is determined whether the action is associated with an event type of a plurality of predetermined event types. If it is determined the action is not associated with the event type, then, without invoking any method of the application, first data is generated. The first data describes any change in the first graphical element. The first data is sent to the client process for changing the display of the first graphical element.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: March 14, 2006Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jyotirmoy Paul, Jeff Barton, Anit Chakraborty, Siva Dirisala
