The gripper mechanism is configured to clamp a layer of the multiple layers by applying a clamping force to one or more product cases of the layer such that the layer can be removed from an adjacent layer of product cases to a different location. The layer includes a void between adjacent product cases. The gripper mechanism includes a void filling member carried by the gripper mechanism. The void filling member is sized and located to be positioned within the void to limit movement of the adjacent product cases into the void during a clamping operation. | 10-23-2008 |

20090319630 | Header Compression in Messages - Compression of message headers. A message including an uncompressed header, a message including a compressed header or a request to support header compression is received. In response, a determination of the impact of header compression on performance is determined. If the determination is favorable, then header compression is supported for subsequent communications. However, if the determination is not favorable, then header compression is not supported for subsequent communications. If the impact of header compression on performance is determined to be favorable, then an identifier for a reference header is returned. The identifier is for use in a subsequent compressed header. The subsequent compressed header comprises the identifier and changes relative to the reference header. A server receives a message including a compressed header. The server determines whether it has sufficient memory or storage to support header compression. If so, the server handles the message, but if not, the server refuses to handle the message or notifies a sender of the message that it will not support header compression for subsequent messages. | 12-24-2009 |

20150203924 | DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS FOR HERBICIDE RESISTANCE IN PLANTS - Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to kits for identifying herbicide resistant plants and methods for determining whether a plant is herbicide resistant. The methods are based on the discovery that some genes are over-expressed or under-expressed in herbicide resistant plants when compared to herbicide-sensitive plants prior to application of the herbicide. The methods include determining the expression level of the one or more genes of interest in a biological sample, such as via qRT PCR, and determining whether the biological sample is from an herbicide-resistant plant based on the expression level. In an embodiment, the kit and methods are used to identify glyphosate-resistant | 07-23-2015 |

20120130871 | Content delivery network service provider (CDNSP)-managed content delivery network (CDN) for network service provider (NSP) - A CDN service provider shares its CDN infrastructure with a network to enable a network service provider (NSP) to offer a private-labeled network content delivery network (NCDN or “private CDN”) to participating content providers. The CDNSP preferably provides the hardware, software and services required to build, deploy, operate and manage the CDN for the NCDN customer. Thus, the NCDN customer has access to and can make available to participating content providers one or more of the content delivery services (e.g., HTTP delivery, streaming media delivery, application delivery, and the like) available from the global CDN without having to provide the large capital investment, R&D expense and labor necessary to successfully deploy and operate the network itself. Rather, the global CDN service provider simply operates the private CDN for the network as a managed service. | 05-24-2012 |

20090162504 | PROCESSING TECHNIQUE TO THAW PARTIALLY FROZEN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND INCORPORATING SOLIDS - A method for thawing and infusing partially frozen fruits or vegetables. Individually quick frozen fruits or vegetables are introduced into a mixing kettle. An infusion solution is circulated from a solution tank, through a bed of fruits or vegetables, and back to a solution tank. The infusion solution is maintained at a temperature of about 45° to about 50° F. and at a Brix of about 40° to about 50°. The infusion solution is pumped and circulated at a high rate which reduces thaw time but does not result in product degradation. After thawing, the pumping and re-circulating rate is decreased to allow for increased infusion efficiency. Pressure pulses are applied to the product in the mixing tank which decreases the infusion time. Thus, thawed and infused fruit and vegetables are produced quickly and with minimal product degradation. | 06-25-2009 |
