Patent number: 11911721Abstract: A fuel filtration system and methods controlling, and operating a fuel filtration system. A first fuel filter head is fluidly coupled to one or more first fuel filters, a second fuel filter head is fluidly coupled to one or more second fuel filters and a selector valve is coupled to the first fuel filter head and the second fuel filter head. The selector valve includes a primary valve inlet port, a primary valve outlet port, and a movable valve body movable from a first position to a second position. The first position fluidly couples the first fuel filter head to the primary valve outlet port and fluidly decouples the second fuel filter head from the primary valve outlet port. The second position fluidly couples the second fuel filter head to the primary valve outlet port and fluidly decouples the first fuel filter head from the primary valve outlet port.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Cummins, Inc.Inventors: Paul D. Johnson, Gregory S. Franks, Joseph A. Worthington, Sandesh R. Patil, Amit Yeole, David P. Genter

Patent number: 10373121Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for integrating a calendaring system with a mashup page. A mashup server accesses the calendar data inputted by a user to create or edit an entry in a calendar application. The mashup server provides the user access to widgets to be included on a mashup page, where the widgets use the accessed calendar information so that the widgets provide information to the recipients of the calendared event. In this manner, the widgets provide information that normally would be accessible by the participants via links to a myriad of disjoint applications thereby negating the fractured experience of the participants. Upon finalizing the mashup page, the mashup page is saved as a Uniform Resource Location (URL) in the created/edited calendar entry. The mashup page is later transmitted by the mashup server to the recipients of the calendar entry.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2011Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Feng-Wei Chen, John R. Hind, Joseph D. Johnson, Yongcheng Li

Patent number: 9619780Abstract: A method for improving information exchange in a social network environment. Actions (e.g., copying) being performed on an electronic object (e.g., e-mail) are detected. Furthermore, the entry of the electronic object in a social networking website is detected thereby identifying an association between this electronic object and this social networking website. Rule patterns are identified based on these detected actions and these associations. Indications of these associations are stored in terms of concept nodes in a hierarchical tree using the identified rule patterns. Social networking feeds of interest are then searched using the hierarchical tree as well as a current electronic object of a user (e.g., status message on a social networking feed, e-mail). The user would then be provided an opportunity to repost an information nugget from the current electronic object in one or more of these social networking feeds of interest.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2012Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Feng-Wei Chen, John R. Hind, Joseph D. Johnson, Yongcheng Li, Josef Scherpa

Publication number: 20130007656Abstract: Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to selecting an area of a first window, which contains first content, in response to user input, generating a second window that contains second content that is substantially similar to a portion of the first content contained within the area of the first window, and superimposing the second window over a target window. The target window can be the first window or a third window. Some embodiments are further directed to affixing the second window to remain stationary and above the target window when the target window is active or in focus. Some embodiments are further directed to modifying target content in the target window in response to the activation of the second content (e.g., sorting target content based on activation of a sorting control within the second window, modifying number values in the target window based on number values of the second content, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2011Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yongcheng Li, Feng-Wei Chen, Joseph D.

Patent number: 4126709Abstract: Deriving carotenoid coloring agents from citrus by extracting the natural peel oil from the flavedo of the fruit, treating the oil to remove the undesirable sterols, coumarins and other undesirable waxes therein, and thereafter deterpenating the de-waxed oil by successively folding the oil to a concentration of at least 15-fold in order to remove the major portion of the limonene therein. The de-waxed and deterpenated oil is then distilled under vacuum in a molecular still at a pressure between about 10 microns to 1.0 millimeters of mercury, and at a temperature of between 90.degree. to 120.degree. C to remove the balance of the unwanted constituents and to provide the desired concentrated carotenoids as an output thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1977Date of Patent: November 21, 1978Assignee: Citrus Central, Inc.Inventors: Joseph D.
