Patent number: 9679335Abstract: A system and method for automated securities portfolio synchronization is provided. The system includes a lead trader account database, a follower account database, and a trade determination system. A follower provides a lead trader identification which is used to retrieve a lead trader portfolio from the lead trader account database for display to the Follower. The contents of the lead trader portfolio are compared to securities already owned by the follower and to a list of securities not to be purchased that is retrieved from the follower account database. The follower may then make adjustments to the lead trader portfolio and synchronize their portfolio to that of the lead trader.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Inventor: Joseph Fox

Publication number: 20170047725Abstract: A wire insulator apparatus includes an insulator/separator member, a cap portion, a tube and potting material. The insulator/separator member has apertures formed therein for receiving a plurality of wires. By threading the wires through the insulator/separator member, the wires are spaced apart so that a potting material can be molded to provide a complete seal from the environment, particularly conductive liquids such as ammonia, which may cause short-circuiting between the wires. Individual wires are terminated in the cap portion, and the cap portion, the insulator/separator member and the wire ends are positioned within a tube or a mold portion depending on the application, and a potting epoxy is fluidly inserted within the tube. The epoxy surrounds or encases the wire ends within the tube or mold to insulate the wire ends in an airtight seal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2016Publication date: February 16, 2017Inventor: William Joseph Fox

Patent number: 9538777Abstract: Methods and apparatus for separating and removing aflatoxin-contaminated corn from batches of corn by a floating process, thus producing a distinguishable floating mat of contaminated corn and a separate submerged bed of uncontaminated and less contaminated corn. The methods of this disclosure include removing the floating contaminated corn mat by a vacuum mechanism or by liquid flow. The methods reduce the aflatoxin level in the submerged corn bed as much as 80% from the initial aflatoxin level, while removing no more than 15% from the batch of corn.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2014Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: CARGILL, INCORPORATEDInventors: Nicholas Wayne Bethke, Chad Allen Conard, Marie Khagik Costanian, Lawrence E.

Publication number: 20160328782Abstract: The embodiments in this disclosure include a system for receiving search requests for one or more items from a client device having access to a local database that stores primary catalogs containing items of contracted entities. If the items are not found in the primary catalogs, the system may be configured to execute an API for processing the search request by routing the search request to a proxy vendor computer in a cloud network. The cloud network may be configured to store vendor master records for one or more non-contracted entities. The proxy vendor computer can conduct a text search of secondary catalogs associated with non-contracted entities, and can transmit search results to the client device for the requested items. The items may correspond to one or more vendor master records associated with a non-contracted entity and may have a matching entry in one or more of the secondary catalogs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Sudhir Bhojwani, Sanish Mondkar, Joseph Fox, Yuan Tung, Matthew Cromar, Grace Zhang, Steven Weigand, Rajanikanth Jayaseelan, Sandeep Chakravarty, Sudha Lakshman

Publication number: 20160106645Abstract: Zeaxanthin is ingested orally at suitable dosages that gives skin a darker tint that emulates a healthy suntan and that reduces the severity of unwanted skin discoloration or irregularities. In tests involving adults, it was found that zeaxanthin dosages of 30 to about 80 mg per day were sufficient to induce a mild but noticeable tinting, shading, or darkening of skin color, comparable to a mild suntan, a substantial increase in the person's ability to withstand elevated levels of sun or UV exposure without any subsequent pain or discomfort, and without the subsequent peeling and flaking that characterizes sunburns, and an increased ability of reddened and sunburned skin to convert into intact skin that looks browned and healthily tanned. The topical application of zeaxanthin can further enhance the darkening of the skin and reduce the severity of unwanted skin discoloration or irregularities.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventors: Dennis L.

Publication number: 20140156486Abstract: A system and method for automated securities trading is provided. The system includes a lead trader account database, a follower account database, and a trade determination system. Trade information is received from a lead trader and a listing of followers for the lead trader is retrieved from the lead account database. For each follower, their account at the follower account database is accessed to confirm that they desire to participate in the lead trader's trade and that they have enough funds to do so. The lead trader and follower's traders are then grouped together and traded as a single trade. The traded shares are then provided to the lead trader and followers at the average price of the trade.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2013Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: Ditto Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Fox, Brian Lund, David Hoak, Steve Mann, Cedric Charles, Adan Romero

Patent number: 8629313Abstract: A method of operating a flare assembly is provided. If it is determined that the injection of primary steam into the combustion zone is necessary to achieve smokeless operation, primary steam is injected through a steam injector assembly into the combustion zone. If it is determined that steam is not necessary, an alternative gas is discharged though the steam injector assembly into the combustion zone. In one embodiment, the alternative gas is heated. In another embodiment, if it is determined that steam is necessary, a maximum allowable flow rate of steam is calculated, and the flow rate of steam is modulated to achieve smokeless operation and avoid a flow rate of steam in excess of the maximum allowable flow rate of steam. A flare assembly is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2010Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: John Zink Company, LLCInventors: Jianhui Hong, James Charles Franklin, Dennis Lee Knott, Zachary Lewis Kodesh, Scott Joseph Fox
