Patent number: 10487316Abstract: In alternative embodiments, the invention provides phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) enzymes, nucleic acids encoding them, antibodies that bind specifically to them, and methods for making and using them. Industrial methods and products comprising use of these phospholipases are also provided. In certain embodiments, provided herein are methods for hydration of non hydratable phospholipids (NHPs) within a lipid matrix. The methods enable migration of NHPs to an oil-water interface thereby allowing the NHPs to be reacted and/or removed from the lipids. In certain embodiments, provided is a method for removing NHPs, hydratable phospholipids, and lecithins from vegetable oils to produce a degummed oil or fat product that can be used for food production and/or non-food applications. In certain embodiments, provided herein are methods for hydration of NHPs followed by enzymatic treatment and removal of various phospholipids and lecithins.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2016Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: DSM IP ASSETS B.V.Inventors: Nelson R. Barton, Tim S. Hitchman, Jonathan D. Lyon, Eileen O'Donoghue, Mark A. Wall

Patent number: 9355376Abstract: Rules created in a computerized sales playbook system are stored in a rules library. Rules can be shared among playbooks, stages, plays, content and other playbook elements. Any playbook element can be associated with one or more rules. Such rules include one or more conditions that trigger the rule. If the conditions are met, then a playbook element is enabled for use by the user. Rules can be selected from the rules library as the playbook is being created. For example, when adding a play or a content item to a play, a user is prompted to add a rule to be associated with the playbook element. If the user adds a rule, an interface is presented allowing the user to select an existing rule from the rules library or create a new rule. If a new rule is created, it is added to the rules library.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Qvidian, Inc.Inventors: Karen P. Meyer, Michael W. Raitt, John S. Gedaminski, Leo P. Steffens, Mark A. Walling

Publication number: 20130297368Abstract: As plays, stages and other playbook elements are processed or completed in the sales playbook, fields of the customer relationship management system are updated by the playbook system according to predefined update rules. Thus, updating of the customer relationship management system is no longer done separately and manually from activities driven by the sales playbook, and the consistency of data in the two systems is improved. In turn, because the sales playbook is driven by data in the customer relationship management system, activity in the sales playbook can dynamically drive further actions in the sales playbook.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2012Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: QVIDIAN, INC.Inventors: Karen P.
