Publication number: 20240095645Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user. The customized goal representation is updated based on a revaluation of the mapping rules affected by changes to the one or more goal entities, the one or more goal relationships, or the one or more properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Sven Martin Andreas Elfgren, Friedrich I.

Patent number: 11849780Abstract: A garment includes a torso portion adapted to cover a wearer's torso; a first sleeve extending from the torso portion at a proximal end of the first sleeve; a second sleeve extending from the torso portion at a proximal end of the second sleeve; a first flap spanning between the torso portion and the first sleeve; and a second flap spanning between the torso portion and the second sleeve. One or more openings along a side of the first flap adjacent to the torso portion and one or more openings along a side of the second flap adjacent to the torso portion are adapted to allow a personal flotation device vest to be secured to the garment.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Inventor: Eric William McMullin

Publication number: 20230312253Abstract: Yeast cells are genetically modified to disrupt a native metabolic pathway from dihydroxyacetone to glycerol. In certain aspects, the yeast cell is of the genera Kluyveromyces, Candida or Issatchenkia. In other aspects, the yeast cell is capable of producing at least one organic acid, such as lactate. The yeast cells produce significantly less glycerol than the wild-type strains, and usually produce greater yields of desired fermentation products. Yeast cells of the invention often grow well when cultivated, despite their curtailed glycerol production.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: CARGILL, INCORPORATEDInventors: Catherine Asleson DUNDON, Pirkko SUOMINEN, Aristos ARISTIDOU, Brian J.

Patent number: 11718820Abstract: Less-than-diploid I. orientalis cells are produced. The cells have at least one unpaired chromosome and may be haploid, i.e., are missing one member of each pair of chromosomes that are present in the wild-type strains. The less-than-diploid cells are useful fermentation strains, performing similarly to diploid strains that are otherwise similarly engineered. The less-than-diploid strains can be mated to produce diploids, which themselves are useful fermentation strains. The less-than-diploid strains are also useful as host strains for producing further genetically modified strains that can be less-than-diploid or mated to produce diploids.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: CARGILL, INCORPORATEDInventors: Kenneth R. Finley, Holly Jessen, Erin Kathleen Marasco, Thomas William McMullin, Ana Negrete-Raymond, Amit Vas

Publication number: 20230034069Abstract: Various examples according to the present disclosure provide a fermentation method. The fermentation method includes producing at least about 10 g/L of a bioproduct and one or more heterologous polypeptides by fermenting a medium using an engineered microorganism. About 2 wt % to about 100 wt % of the one or more heterologous polypeptides are encapsulated intercellularly in the engineered microorganism. The method further includes isolating the engineered microorganism including the encapsulated one or more heterologous polypeptides. About 50 wt % to about 100 wt % of the one or more heterologous polypeptides retain functionality following isolation of the engineered microorganism.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: CARGILL, INCORPORATEDInventors: Gary Allan FOLKERT, Briana Kristen KOZLOWICZ, Chenfeng LU, Thomas William MCMULLIN, Christopher Kenneth MILLER, Kevin WATTS

Publication number: 20070127628Abstract: Determining whether a call forward busy service is enabled on a telephone line includes placing a first test call across a network to the telephone line. First signaling data is received through the network in response to the first test call. The first signaling data is evaluated to determine whether the first test call is inspiring a ringing condition. A second test call is placed across the network conditioned on whether the first signaling data indicates that the first test call is determined to be inspiring a ringing condition. The second test call is placed while the first test call remains inspiring ringing. Second signaling data is received through the network in response to the second test call. A call forward busy service is concluded to be enabled on the telephone line based on whether the second test call is determined to be inspiring a ringing condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2006Publication date: June 7, 2007Applicant: America Online, Inc.Inventors: William McMullin, Liam Keast

Publication number: 20060147014Abstract: Enabling handling of incoming phone calls includes receiving an indication from one or more call recipients reflecting a desire to block future calls from a call source. A number of received indications reflecting a desire to block future calls from the call source is determined and compared to a threshold. An identifier of the call source is added to a list of call sources from which future calls are specially handled when the number of indications meets the threshold. Handling an incoming call from an undesired call source includes receiving an indication of a call placed to a call recipient. A source of the call is identified. Whether the identified call source is included in the list of call sources from which future calls are specially handled is determined. Special handling is applied to the call when the identified call source is included in the list.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2004Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventors: Michael Smith, William McMullin
