Patent number: 8652221Abstract: A hybrid wax compositions that are suitable for use in manufacturing wax articles (e.g., candles) by compression molding. The combination of a hydrogenated natural oil-based wax and a paraffin wax having a select distribution of hydrocarbon chain lengths provides the hybrid wax compositions with improved properties, such as improved compressive strength and improved de-molding characteristics, for example, as evidenced by reducing scarring and/or flashing. The hybrid wax compositions comprise: (a) a wax comprising a hydrogenated natural oil; and (b) a paraffin wax, wherein the paraffin wax comprises less than about 50% by weight of the hybrid wax composition, and wherein about 52% or greater of hydrocarbons in the paraffin wax have carbon chain lengths ranging from C25 to C29.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2009Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Elevance Renewable Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Kevin D.

Publication number: 20130063556Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating depth estimates for pixels, in a series of images captured by a single camera, that correspond to the static objects. The techniques involve identifying occlusion events in the series of images. The occlusion events are events in which dynamic blobs are at least partially occluded, by static objects, from view of the camera. The depth estimates for pixels of the static objects are generated based on the occlusion events and depth estimates associated with the dynamic blobs. Techniques are also provided for generating the depth estimates associated with the dynamic blobs. The depth estimates for the dynamic blobs are generated based on how far down, within at least one image, the lowest point of the dynamic blob is located.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2012Publication date: March 14, 2013Applicant: PRISM SKYLABS, INC.Inventors: Steve Russell, Ron Palmeri, Robert Cutting, Doug Johnston, Mike Fogel, Robert Cosgriff

Publication number: 20120177469Abstract: One transport device for media rolls used with grand format printers includes a base having opposed ends, means for coupling the base to a forklift tine, and two arms respectively adjacent the base ends. Each arm is coupled to the base for rotatable and lateral movement. A first hook extends from a first cable having an upper end coupled to one arm's distal end. The first hook has a receiving area configured to receive a shaft extending generally along the media roll's center axis, and position the shaft along a generally vertical line extending through the first cable upper end. A second hook extends from a second cable having an upper end coupled to the other arm's distal end.

Patent number: 8108445Abstract: A consolidated instant messaging message history is maintained at a selected point of presence. Non-selected instant messaging points of presence include instant messaging messages that were transmitted during one or more instant messaging sessions conducted between the non-selected instant messaging points of presence and one or more instant messaging participants. The selected instant messaging point of presence retrieves instant messaging messages included at the non-selected instant messaging points of presence. The retrieved messages are stored on a storage device accessible to the selected instant messaging point of presence in a consolidated instant messaging chat history.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2009Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik John Burckart, Steve Russell Campbell, Andrew Ivory

Publication number: 20110034776Abstract: A vaginal speculum adapted to be positioned within a vagina has a hollow cylindrical body with means integral therewith for distending the vagina internally of the introitus, whereby the speculum allows visualisation of, and access to and through the cervix, without distending the cervix. In one embodiment the hollow cylindrical body has an inner and outer tube, which are movable relative to each other along the longitudinal axis of the hollow cylindrical body between a first position, wherein the distending means is closed and a second position, wherein the distending means is distended. In this embodiment the distending means is a plurality of elongate members connected between the distal ends of the inner and outer tubes. In the first position the elongate members lie along the longitudinal axis of the hollow cylindrical and in the second position they are bent out from the hollow cylindrical body as the distance between the distal ends of the inner and outer tubes has been shortened.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2009Publication date: February 10, 2011Inventors: Richard Albert Dixon, Fidelma Kavanagh, Raymond Joseph O'Sullivan, Walter Prendiville, Steve Russell Smith, Ivan Vetcnik, William Dean Wallace

Patent number: 7691789Abstract: A composition and method is given for a well control fluid that is injected into a well during completion or remediation and prevents fluid flow from a formation into the well during operations (such as shut-in, or placement or adjustment of tools/hardware) when no fluid flow is desired. The composition includes a viscoelastic surfactant fluid system (VES) and a decomposable first solid material, preferably in fiber form, that forms a pack or plug in the well at the location where fluid would otherwise leak off, and then decomposes without intervention to release a product that is a breaker for the surfactant or the micelles of the VES. The composition optionally also contains a pH control agent and a second solid (that may also be a fluid loss agent) that affect the decomposition of the first solid.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Diankui Fu, Steve Russell, Mathew Samuel
