US Patent:

6401079, Jun 4, 2002

Filed:

Oct 1, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/411332

Inventors:

David Kahn - Los Altos Hills CA
Barinder Singh Saini - San Jose CA
Svetlana E. Kreimer - Mt. View CA
Shelley S. Ferguson - Sacramento CA

Assignee:

InLeague, Inc. - San Bruno CA

International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

705 30

Abstract:

The system provides an automated, centralized back-end payroll service with a full-featured web-based payroll system. Both aspects of the system have access to a central database, which includes, for example: profile information on employers and employees; timesheet, salary and hourly wage data; overtime data; employee benefit data; and information regarding third-party providers and miscellaneous payees. The full-featured payroll system functionality is implemented in a manner that provides employers and employees (to the extent security policies permit) with a robust, data-driven user interface via a standard web browser. The central database provides the systems back-end (server-side) payroll service functionality with constant access to the data. The system implements and enforces compliance with a wide variety of tax-related and employment-related rules across federal, state and local jurisdictions relating, for example, to overtime pay, benefit limits, payment frequency, and scheduled reporting requirements. The system can automatically receive and implement electronic updates to these rules, modifying its own functionality to conform to these changes and ensure compliance with current rules.

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

710 8, 710 16, 710 62, 707101, 707102, 719321

Abstract:

An enhanced VPD structure includes a type field to indicate whether a particular property is a general property to be associated with an interface card or other computer system component, or a device- or function-specific property to be associated with one or more devices or functions. The enhanced VPD structure also includes fields for identifying the device(s) and/or function(s) to which a device- or function-specific property applies, along with the value of the property, a data type and length of the property, and a meaningful name of the property. The enhanced VPD structure may be accessed during system boot, during hot-swapping of an interface card or other component, or at other times.

The central database provides the system's back-end (server-side) payroll service functionality with constant access to the data. The system's back-end payroll service functionality generates disbursement information for payments to employees, benefit providers, miscellaneous payees, and various tax authorities, subject to compliance with the system's database of rules and automatically effects transfers of funds, payment information, and reports, whether electronic or otherwise, at the appropriate times.

International Classification:

C12N 1510

US Classification:

536 254

Abstract:

A process is described for purifying plasmid DNA from prokaryotic cells comprised thereof. This process comprises the steps of: (a) digesting the cells; (b) incubating the cells for about 4 to 24 hours to effect lysis and solubilization thereof, without effecting enzymatic digestion of RNA; (c) removing lysate contaminants from the cells to provide a plasmid DNA solution; (d) filtering the solution through a tangential flow filtration device to obtain a retentate containing the plasmid DNA; and (e) collecting the retentate.

International Classification:

C12N 1564

US Classification:

435455

Abstract:

A process is described for preparing transfectacons, or particles, of calcium phosphate and a desired nucleic acid comprising admixing calcium divalent cation, phosphate multivalent anion, and the desired nucleic acid to form a precipitation mixture, wherein the precipitation mixture comprises an initial phosphate anion concentration of about 0. 2 to 0. 5 mM; and incubating the precipitation mixture for about 10 to 60 minutes to form transfectacons comprising calcium phosphate and the desired nucleic acid. A process is also provided for delivering desired nucleic acid to eukaryotic tissue or cells comprising introducing to the tissue or cells the transfectacons so prepared. Additionally, a process is disclosed for introducing a desired nucleic acid into a eukaryotic host cell comprising the above two steps, followed by diluting the precipitation mixture and admixing it with a eukaryotic host cell lacking a cell wall to form a transfection mixture; and incubating the transfection mixture to allow the eukaryotic host cell to take up the transfectacons to form a transfected cell.
