Patent number: 9480210Abstract: The present invention deals with new type of broccoli plant suitable for the industrial manufacture of broccoli heads and florets. The invention relates to broccoli plants producing a head that is flat, comprises multiple individualized florets and protrudes above the leaves making it easy to harvest by machine. The invention further deals with methods and uses of the broccoli plants, heads and florets for the manufacture of broccoli processed and/or packaged food products.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Syngenta Participations AGInventors: John Denison Hewitt, Xiaoguang Liang, Mathieu Sanvoisin, Emmanuel Deschamp, Jiagang Si, Wenhua Lv

Patent number: 9344756Abstract: A system and method for transmitting files from a sender to a receiver in a television distribution system, for example, a cable television distribution network, is provided. The files are transmitted without the need for transmitting a directory over an out of band communications link. In an exemplary embodiment, a filename corresponding to a file to be transmitted is provided to a transform. The transform calculates a PID based on the filename. The calculated PID is incorporated into the MPEG2 data stream carrying the corresponding file contents. When an application program running in the receiver requests a file, the filename of the requested file is provided to a transform operating in the receiver. The transmitter and receiver transforms are identical. The transform provides a corresponding PID at its output. The PID is used to tune a PID filter on the receiver end such that the requested file is selected from the incoming MPEG bit stream for processing by the processor.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2009Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: COX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: James Parnell, Matthew Schrier, John Denison, John Wurtz

Patent number: 7527308Abstract: The present invention provides a modular bumper shell comprising an attachment member adapted for attachment to an energy-absorbing vehicle bumper substructure, and at least one outer member affixed to and at least partially covering the attachment member. The outer member is at least partially visible to an observer following vehicle assembly. The present invention also provides a method of assembling a modular bumper shell by providing an attachment member adapted for attachment to an energy-absorbing vehicle bumper substructure, providing at least one outer member, and attaching the outer member to the attachment member. The present invention further provides a method of changing the appearance of a vehicle bumper by providing a modular bumper shell including at least one outer member attached to an attachment member, and then replacing the outer member with a modified outer member.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2005Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations, Inc.Inventors: Krystof Buniewicz, John A.

Patent number: 7505890Abstract: A hard disk drive (HDD) emulator comprises a dynamic random access memory, a controller that refreshes content of the dynamic random access memory, and an input/output port coupled to the controller. The input/output port provides a hard disk drive interface. An operating system of a computing system in which the HDD emulator is installed uses the dynamic random access memory as a swap storage space.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2003Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Sergei Kuznetsov, John Denison
