Patent number: 9990630Abstract: A computer server platform application for analyzing a capability of a message oriented transaction system. The platform application includes a first server having a performance driver utility for sending a plurality of transactions through a queue manager as messages having a payload and a correlation identification. The performance driver utility calculates and records a completion time for each transaction sent. A backend utility within the first server is for receiving each transaction sent, converting each payload into a reply message, and sending the reply message to a reply queue destination. A graphing utility contained within the first server is for displaying the completion time for each transaction and an average number of transactions per unit of time for a total number of transactions tested. The performance driver utility is further for displaying categories of possible transaction delays and resolutions of the delays.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2014Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventor: Paul Siracusa

Patent number: 6890324Abstract: A tampon is provided having an applicator barrel adapted to house a pledget, and especially a radially expanding pledget, and receive a telescoping plunger that is adapted to expel the pledget from the barrel. The applicator barrel has a fingergrip area with at least one set of diametrically opposed, substantially flattened surfaces, convex surfaces, concave surfaces, or any combination thereof. These surfaces have at least one gripping structure to enhance the gripping characteristics of the applicator, allowing the user to securely hold the applicator during insertion and removal and during expulsion of the pledget from the barrel.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2001Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Playtex Products, Inc.Inventors: Dane R. Jackson, Paul A. Siracusa, Keith Edgett

Patent number: 5962399Abstract: A process for preparing high detergency or surfactant alkyl polyglycoside compositions and a purified alkyl monoglycoside and to compositions employing the polyglycosides for various end use applications. The process involves removal of a substantial portion of the monoglycoside present in a reaction product mixture containing alkyl polyglycosides resulting from the reaction of an alcohol and saccharide at elevated temperatures in the presence of an acid catalyst. Separation of the monoglycoside from the reaction product mixture may be carried out by molecular distillation.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1997Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: Harald P. Wulff, Paul A. Siracusa, Patricia E. Bator, Barry A. Salka, Michael W. Counts, Robert A. Aleksejczyk, Patrick M. McCurry, Jr., Robert S. McDaniel, William G. Kozak, Allen D. Urfer, Gail Howell

Patent number: 5734029Abstract: An improved alkylpolyglycoside surfactant composition, and method of preparing same, by selecting an average chain length of the alkyl moiety of the composition and mixing two or more of at least binary components having an average alkyl chain lengths such that when mixed, the amounts thereof are effective to provide the predetermined, selected average alkyl moiety of the surfactant composition. The improved alkylpolyglycoside composition is used in a variety of end-use applications, including hard surface cleaners, laundry detergents, and personal care products, such as shampoos, soaps, facial cleansers, foam baths, toothpaste, mouthwashes, antiperspirants and the like.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: March 31, 1998Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: Harald P.

Patent number: 5342534Abstract: A novel pre-moistened wiping article has been discovered comprising a flexible substrate carrying a liquid composition comprising an aqueous solution of: (1) from about 5 to about 15 weight % of a monohydric aliphatic alcohol having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms; (b) from about 0.00015 to about 0.0045 weight % of a water soluble preservative; (c) from about 0.01 to about 1 weight percent of alkyl polyglycoside, wherein said weight percentages represent active ingredient percentages based on the total weight of the liquid composition. The invention is a low alcohol content wiping article that leaves a cleaned hard surface substantially streak free.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1992Date of Patent: August 30, 1994Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Catherine J.
