Patent number: 11987218Abstract: A method and system for supporting trailers carrying mechanical equipment, such as hydraulic fracturing oil and gas equipment are provided. One, two or at least three supports extend from the trailer toward ground and are configured to partially support the trailer when in contact with ground, in addition to any axle groups that exist on the trailer. At least one device configured to absorb, damp, or both absorb and damp vibrations from the mechanical equipment during operation is provided. Each device is operatively coupled to, for example integrated with, a corresponding one of the support structures.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Ty-Crop Manufacturing Ltd.Inventors: Gary Wayne Teichrob, Patrick Scott Mason, Dennis Keith Ho, Clark Alan Friesen

Publication number: 20240131545Abstract: A discrete product refill container and a rigid outer shell container. The refill container includes a product chamber and a fitment secured thereto. The fitment includes a ledge which is suitable for resting on a ledge of the rigid outer shell container while permitting the product chamber to pass into the shell interiorly to the ledge. It may also include a rim for grasping by transfer equipment. The fitment includes a destructive cover, i.e., one which cannot readily be re-closed, so that the consumer can easily make the product within the refill available for pumping, as desired. The rigid outer shell container can be snap fit closed. The refill bottle may be a pouch or a thin walled bottle, with a fitment. The fitment may serve to support the bottle in an inverted position for display or storage. The refill bottle may also include an integral ledge for support in the rigid outer shell container, instead of a discrete fitment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Conopco, Inc., d/b/a UNILEVERInventors: Slavica CESARE, Lauren Alicia UGLIUZZA, Graham Keith LACY, Jonathan Edward MASON, Gregory LALIER

Devices and methods using supervisor chips (integrated circuits) to generate time acceptance windows
Patent number: 9037894Abstract: Timing circuits including supervisor chip(s), capacitors, and latches. The supervisor chip(s) and capacitors cooperate to generate an electrical signal (window signal) having a high logic state when the window is open. The latches are used to determine whether an event of interest occurred while the window was open using the generated window signal and an electrical signal asserted upon occurrence of the event of interest.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Deric Keith Mason, Michael David Haddon -

Patent number: 7810132Abstract: Objects on application servers are distributed to one or more application servers; a user is allowed to declare in a list which objects residing on each application server are to be protected; the list is read by an interceptor; responsive to exportation of a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (“CORBA”) compliant Interoperable Object Reference (“IOR”) for a listed object, the interceptor associates one or more application server security flags with interfaces to the listed objects by tagging components of the IOR with one or more security flags; and one or more security operations are performed by an application server according to the security flags tagged to the IOR when a client accesses an application server-stored object, the security operations including an operation besides establishing secure communications between the client process and the server-stored object.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2008Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Daniel Birk, Ching-Yun Chao, Hyen Vui Chung, Carlton Keith Mason, Ajaykumar Karkala Reddy, Vishwanath Venkataramappa

Patent number: 7543541Abstract: A membrane connector (1) has a generally annular body (2) having an interior region (8). An elongate projection (10) projects from the body into the interior region (8). In use, the body (2) is attached to a membrane (14) such as a yacht sail and allows a fastener such as a rope to be attached to the membrane, via the connector (1), to control or secure the membrane. The fastener typically comprises a loop of flexible material (18, 24) which may be easily placed over the projection (10) so that force can be applied to the membrane in a direction that is generally coincident with a longitudinal axis of the projection. The connector (1) allows membranes such as sails to be easily and quickly taken down and reset and has no moving parts so it is not prone to failure.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2004Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Inventor: Matthew Keith Mason

Patent number: 7448066Abstract: Objects on application servers may be defined into classes which receive different levels of security protection, such as definition of user objects and administrative objects. Domain-wide security may be enforced on administrative objects, which user object security may be configured separately for each application server in a domain. In a CORBA architecture, IOR's for shared objects which are to be secured on a domain-wide basis, such as administrative objects, are provided with tagged components during IOR creation and exporting to a name server. Later, when the IOR is used by a client, the client invokes necessary security measures such as authentication, authorization and transport protection according to the tagged components.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Daniel Birk, Ching-Yun Chao, Hyen Vui Chung, Carlton Keith Mason, Ajaykumar Karkala Reddy, Vishwanath Venkataramappa

Patent number: 6950825Abstract: A security policy process which provides role-based permissions for hierarchically organized system resources such as domains, clusters, application servers, and resources, as well as topic structures for messaging services. Groups of permissions are assigned to roles, and each user is assigned a role and a level of access within the hierarchy of system resources or topics. Forward or reverse inheritance is applied to each user level-role assignment such that each user is allowed all permissions for ancestors to the assigned level or descendants to the assigned level. This allows simplified security policy definition and maintenance of user permissions as each user's permission list must only be configured and managed at one hierarchical level with one role.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2002Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David Yu Chang, Ching-Yun Chao, Hyen Vui Chung, Carlton Keith Mason, Vishwanath Venkataramappa, Leigh Allen Williamson

Publication number: 20050059038Abstract: A general system for screening targets (e.g., biomolecules) is described. The screening can be used to discover compounds that bind to a naturally occurring low activity or inactive state of a target and act as inhibitors of the target function as seen in subsequent biological assays.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2004Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventors: Steven Adams, Daniel Flynn, Michael Kelly, Gergely Makara, Keith Mason, Ciamac Moallemi, Huw Nash, Edward Wintner, Zhongli Zheng

Patent number: 6826716Abstract: Testing J2EE applications, wherein J2EE applications comprise modules, the testing including identifying (204), from an application deployment descriptor, modules comprised within the J2EE application; identifying, from an identified module, at least one QOS element; and identifying, from the identified QOS element, a software resource to be tested. Typical embodiments further including generating Java test code; identifying, for the software resource to be tested, a user identification and a user password for a user that is a member of a role intended to protect the software resource; and testing the software resource to be tested by use of the Java test code, including passing as parameters to the Java test code at run time the user identification and user password.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2001Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Carlton Keith Mason
