Patent number: 11111616Abstract: Implementations of a pattern practicing apparatus for longarm quilting machines are provided. In some implementations, the pattern practicing apparatus comprises a base, a first handle, and a second handle. In some implementations, a method for using the pattern practicing apparatus comprises positioning the pattern practicing apparatus on top of a piece of paper or other surface, inserting a writing instrument tip into an opening through the base of the pattern practicing apparatus, holding the handles of the pattern practicing apparatus, and moving the pattern practicing apparatus by the handles across the paper to simulate using a longarm quilting machine free-hand.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Inventors: Keith Hayes, Pamela Hayes

Patent number: 8263153Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing or reducing haze development in a beverage. Silane-treated silica filter media are synthesized. By contacting the beverage with the silane-treated silica filter, one or more haze-forming components bind to the silane-treated silica filter media and are removed by filtration. In addition, particulates in the beverage are removed by filtration. Beverages that tend to develop haze on standing and/or chilling such as alcoholic, fruit, and vegetable beverages, are suitable for the present invention. This haze in a beverage is mainly caused by polyphenols and proteins. The present invention provides a method that can reduce the levels of both polyphenols and proteins. The silica filter media useful for the present method include rice hull ash, oat hull ash, or diatomaceous earth.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2005Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Nynne M. Forchhammer, Beth Fryksdale, Keith Hayes, Csilla Kollar, Thomas H. Lane, Anthony Revis

Patent number: 8198407Abstract: The invention discloses methods for sequential protein isolation and purification from a biological sample by affinity chromatography. Affinity chromatography is conducted using ligands or ligand support complexes that selectively and specifically bind to proteins in the biological sample. The ligands or ligand support complexes were contacted sequentially in a predetermined order with the biological sample to allow each ligand or ligand-support complex to sequentially bind a protein from the biological sample.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2005Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignees: Prometic Biosciences, Ltd., The American National Red CrossInventors: Steven J. Burton, Baldev Baines, John Curling, Christopher Bryant, David John Hammond, Dwun-Hou Chen, Timothy Keith Hayes

Patent number: 7850012Abstract: The present invention provides methods for separating one or more components of interest from a sample containing particulates and soluble materials. The method comprises the steps of: (a) filtering a sample through silica filter media whose surface silanol groups have reacted with one or more silanes, and (b) simultaneously capturing particulates and binding a soluble component to the silica filter media. The bound soluble component of interest is subsequently eluted from the silica filter media. In one embodiment of the invention, unwanted soluble materials are captured by the treated silica filter media and desired component of interest is recovered from the flow-through. In another embodiment, different components of interest are recovered from both the eluate and the flow-through. Preferred treated silica filter media are silane-treated rice hull ash or diatomaceous earth with functional quarternary ammonium group or functional sulphonate group.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignees: Dow Corning Corporation, Danisco US Inc.Inventors: Gary L.

Publication number: 20100306384Abstract: The improved secure common data transport system features a transport bus, a system bus, and agents operating as software or a combination of hardware and software running on connected computers. Each agent contains various lower-level components for internal operations and modules that provide overall functionality. The agent interfaces with other agents via the system and transport busses. To communicate, Data, Control Logic, IO, and Security modules within an agent allow the agent to create a ticket that is formatted in XML and encrypted for security. Agents connect with other agents utilizing a Multi-IO Socket Engine that allows for true multi-directional communications socket connections. Multi-directional communication allows a first agent to communicate with a second agent simultaneously as the second agent is communicating with the first. The overall network configuration is determined by the types of socket connection the agents establish.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2009Publication date: December 2, 2010Inventor: Keith Hayes

Publication number: 20050154081Abstract: Polymerizable compositions are described containing colored polymerization indicators which confer a visible color on the unpolymerized compositions. Upon polymerization, the compositions exhibit reduced or eliminated color. The compositions can also change their opacity during polymerization. The compositions provide easy visual differentiation between the unpolymerized compositions and substrates on which the compositions are placed. The compositions are useful in clinical and laboratory applications such as those involving teeth, dental implants, orthodontic materials, artificial teeth and bones.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2004Publication date: July 14, 2005Applicant: BISCO, INC.Inventors: Rui YIN, Byoung SUH, Oanh MAI, Keith HAYES, Louis SHARP

Patent number: 6738911Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for monitoring a computer network. When characterized as a method, the present invention initially obtains data from a log file associated with a device connected to the computer network. Next, individual items of data within the log file are tagged with XML codes, thereby forming a XML message. The device then forms a control header. Afterwards, the control header is appended to the XML message and sent to the collection server. Finally, the XML message is analyzed, thereby allowing the computer network to be monitored.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2001Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Inventor: Keith Hayes
