Patent number: 11998975Abstract: A molten metal conveyor having a receptor plate in contact with molten metal during transport of the molten metal. The receptor plate extends from an entrance where molten metal enters onto the receptor plate to an exit where molten metal exits the receptor plate. The molten metal conveyor has at least one vibrational energy source which supplies vibrational energy directly to the receptor plate in contact with molten metal. A corresponding method for forming a metal product includes providing molten metal onto a molten conveyor; cooling the molten metal by control of a cooling medium flowing through a cooling passage in the or attached to the conveyor; and coupling vibrational energy directly into a receptor plate in contact with the molten metal on the conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: SOUTHWIRE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Kevin Scott Gill, Michael Caleb Powell, Victor Frederic Rundquist, Venkata Kiran Manchiraju, Roland Earl Guffey

Patent number: 11992876Abstract: An energy coupling device for coupling energy into molten metal. The energy coupling device includes a cavitation source which supplies energy through a cooling medium and through a receptor in contact with the molten metal. The cavitation source includes a probe disposed in a cooling channel. The probe has at least one injection port for injection of a cooling medium between a bottom of the probe and the receptor. The probe under operation produces cavitations in the cooling medium. The cavitations are directed through the cooling medium to the receptor.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: SOUTHWIRE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Kevin Scott Gill, Michael Caleb Powell, Victor Frederic Rundquist, Venkata Kiran Manchiraju, Roland Earl Guffey

Patent number: 11481783Abstract: Described herein are chargeback settlement processing systems and methods. A chargeback settlement computing device is configured to store a dispute table including a dispute record associated with a first chargeback request associated with a first chargeback transaction. The dispute record includes an account identifier, a chargeback transaction amount, and a unique chargeback identifier. The computing device is also configured to receive (i) a clearing detail record including a unique chargeback reference number associated with clearing/settlement of the chargeback transaction and chargeback transaction data, and (ii) a chargeback response including the chargeback identifier, the chargeback reference number, and chargeback transaction data.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Joan Lee Rohlfing, John Harold Kolb, Michael Scott Powell, Mark Carosello

Patent number: 10762497Abstract: A chargeback settlement processing (CSP) computer system for determining a gain or loss in a chargeback transaction is provided, that includes a memory device and a processor in communication with the memory device. The processor is programmed to transmit to a payment card network for settlement at least one chargeback transaction file corresponding to at least one received chargeback transaction, associated with an original transaction settled using a first currency exchange rate. The at least one chargeback transaction file includes a unique file identifier. A reconciliation message received from the payment card network includes at least one settlement amount, determined at a second currency exchange rate, for the at least one chargeback transaction and the unique file identifier. The at least one chargeback transaction file is matched to the at least one settlement amount, using the unique file identifier, to determine whether a net gain or a net loss occurred.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Michael Scott Powell, Jeanne Bernadette Moore, Ricky Eugene Barton
