Patent number: 11385153Abstract: Method and system to measure and monitor the grey water content in a rotating concrete mixer drum mixer truck using a sensor attached to the interior of the concrete mixer drum. By measuring the grey water content before a batching process takes place, the batched water (and cement content and admixture type and content) can be modified in order to maintain expected performance of the batched load in terms of both strength and rheology, or more simply, some or all of the grey water can be discharged from the concrete mixer drum before batching.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2018Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: GCP Applied Technologies Inc.Inventors: Mark Roberts, Nathan Tregger, Stephen Klaus

Publication number: 20120197788Abstract: A payment processing network operator obtains, from customer service providers, a first plurality of messages specifying a plurality of bill payments to a plurality of biller entities. Said first plurality of messages specifies, for each of the bill payments, an amount and an intended one of the biller entities to be paid. Based on the first plurality of messages, the operator of the payment processing network dispatches, to the plurality of biller entities, a second plurality of messages to initiate the plurality of bill payments. The operator of the payment processing network obtains data that specifies when at least some of the first plurality of messages are to be obtained and/or when at least some of the second plurality of messages are to be dispatched. Obtaining the first plurality of messages and/or scheduling dispatching the second plurality of messages are carried out in accordance with the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2012Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: Hemal Sanghvi, Sridhar Ramalingam, Rich Ampleman, Robert Hoffman, Pauline Ow, Stephen Klaus, Gidget A.
