Patent number: 11761810Abstract: A fuel storage system has a tank access chamber with improved monitoring, servicing and maintenance capabilities. In particular, the chamber includes a sump monitored by a liquid sensor whose proper function can be automatically checked remotely, e.g., via an electronic controller or remote manual operation. In cases where such a check indicates a need for physical inspection of the sump sensor, the present system provides for sensor removal and installation by service personnel from a location outside the tank access chamber. Thus, the present system facilitates regular inspection and routine or unplanned maintenance without the need for a person to physically enter the tank access chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: FRANKLIN FUELING SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Lee B. Markham, John R. West, William S. Nelson, Paul Ridge

Patent number: 8355935Abstract: A method allowing a professional service provider to access client data stored in an online account without storing confidential account information by the professional service provider. In particular, the service provider may register the relationship with the client in a third party information transfer framework where the client approves such registration and download the data from the online account using the confidential account information in a temporary manner. The client data may be stored in a repository available to the service provider based on the relationship registration. In an example, a professional tax preparation software may include functionality to check for newly downloaded client data within the third party information transfer framework, notifying a tax accountant (i.e., the service provider), and may provide a one click access to import the client data directly into the client tax return.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Brett Alexander Hellman, Teresa Lynn Roberts, Nadeem Mohammed Yusuf Ilkal, Jason Paul Ridge, Matthew Glen Rice, Eric Young Pan, Jeffrey M.
