Publication number: 20240090394Abstract: Facility layouts and configurations for an automated crop production system for controlled environment agriculture. In particular implementations, the core of the facility comprises a controlled growth environment and a central processing system. The controlled growth environment includes systems for exposing crops housed in modules, such as grow towers, to controlled environmental conditions. The central processing system may include various stations and functionality both for preparing crop-bearing modules to be inserted in the controlled growth environment, for harvesting crops from the crop-bearing modules after they have been extracted from the controlled growth environment, and for cleaning or washing crop-bearing modules for re-use. The controlled growth environment may include vertical farming structure having vertical grow towers and associated conveyance mechanisms for moving the vertical grow towers along one or more grow lines.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: MJNN LLCInventors: Gage Goodspeed Coffin, Michael Peter Flynn, Nicholas Kalayjian, Alan Colbrie Schoen, Andrew Keith James, Arvind Sankaran, Alexandre Le Roux, Nadav Sahar Hendel, Anna Olson, Michael Bennett Hamilton, Theodore Howe St. George, Loren Raymond Pilorin

Patent number: 8413889Abstract: A system includes a plurality of machines that operate responsive to data bearing records such as user cards (74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86). The machines operate to carry out financial transactions with associated host computers (90, 94, 100, 104) responsive to determinations that card data corresponds to computer stored data corresponding to authorized users or accounts. Marketing presentations are stored on and output from the machines responsive to messages exchanged with a market message server (110) which is connected to the machines. Systems can also distribute and activate instructions corresponding to states and screens logic on the machines to determine operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Balaji Devarasetty, Alok Prakash, Lee Kravitz, Mark Reinart, Edith Knowles, Theresa Butler, Michael O'Boyle, James Meek, Ken Koran, Nick Billett, William Hemlick, Ron DiFrango, Changning Jiang, Donald P.

Patent number: 7779160Abstract: A financial transaction processing system (10) enables processing transactions from various types of card activated terminal devices (12) which communicate using a variety of electronic message formats. The transaction processing system may operate to authorize transactions internally using information stored in a relational database (32) or may communicate with external authorization systems (18). The transaction processing system includes among its software components message gateway routers (MGRs) (24, 164) which operate using information stored in the relational database to convert messages from a variety of external message formats used by the external devices and authorization systems, to a common internal message format used within the system. The system further uses database information to internally route messages to message processing programs (MPPs) (108, 138) which process messages and generate messages to the external devices and authorization systems.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2005Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Robert D.

Patent number: 7641107Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a card reader operative to read data from user cards and to use the data read by the card reader in operation of the machine. Status messages are received from automated banking machines operating in a network. The messages are received by an event management system operating at least one computer in operative connection with a data store. The data store includes information representative of the banking machines in the network, status messages generated by the banking machines and actions to be taken including entities to be notified of conditions which cause status messages to be sent by the various banking machines.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2007Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Robert Bradley Gill, Gaby Baghdadi, Robert D.

Patent number: 7516087Abstract: A marketing system includes a plurality of automated transaction machines (74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86). The automated transaction machines operate to carry out financial transactions with associated host computers (90, 94, 100, 104). Marketing presentations are stored on and output from the transaction machines responsive to messages exchanged with a market message server (110) which is connected to the automated transaction machines through a network (108).

Publication number: 20080064638Abstract: Presenilin Associated Membrane Protein (PAMP), and nucleic acids encoding this protein, are provided. PAMP and PAMP nucleic acids provide diagnostic and therapeutic tools for evaluating and treating or preventing neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. In a specific embodiment, mutations in PAMP are diagnostic for schizophrenia. The invention further relates to screening, particularly using high-throughput screens and transgenic animal models, for compounds that modulate the activity of PAMP and presenilins. Such compounds, or gene therapy with PAMP, can be used in treating neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia. In addition, the invention provides PAMP mutants, nucleic acids encoding for PAMP mutants, and transgenic animals expressing PAMP mutants, which in a preferred aspect result in biochemical, morphological, or neuropsychological changes similar to those associated with schizophrenia.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2007Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: Governing Council of the University of TorontoInventors: Peter St. George-Hyslop, Paul Fraser
