Patent number: 10017549Abstract: A novel Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein exhibiting insect inhibitory activity is disclosed. Growth of Lygus insects is significantly inhibited by providing the novel crystal protein in Lygus insect diet. Polynucleotides encoding the crystal protein, transgenic plants and microorganisms that contain the polynucleotides, isolated peptides derived from the crystal protein, and antibodies directed against the crystal protein are also provided. Methods of using the crystal protein and polynucleotides encoding the crystal protein to control Hemipteran insects are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2013Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: James A. Baum, Stanislaw Flasinski, Gregory R. Heck, Stephen R. Penn, Uma Rao Sukuru, Xiaohong Shi

Patent number: 8670547Abstract: A method of operating a telecommunications network includes, in one embodiment, detecting a call at an originating switch of the telecommunications network and, when a destination for the call matches a predetermined destination, routing the call on designated data trunks. When traffic on the designated data trunks exceeds a capacity threshold, the method further includes routing the call to a terminating switch using interoffice trunks and completing the call to the destination from the terminating switch.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2008Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Timothy R. Whiting, Melanie Murphy, Scott E. Bowers, Eugene J. Wagner, Gilbert Badillo, Uma Rao, Anthony A. Haeuser, Dianna I. Tiliks, Gordon L. Blumenschein, Carol S. Gruchala, Donald W. Buell, John W. Moss
