  • Patent number: 9705967
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for user discovery (e.g., corporate user discovery) and/or identification of recommended or suggested collaborators in a collaboration platform which may be a cloud-based platform. The disclosed technology enables a user to discover a network of users that they could be collaborating with but are not. This feature, can for example, identify the relevant users or the suggested users and depict the users in the user interface. The identification and selection of the suggested users/potential collaborators can be based on some criteria (e.g., email domain, when the account was created, etc.). These criteria can be set by system default, adjusted by individual users and/or configured/set by admins if a user belongs to a corporate account/enterprise account.

  • Patent number: 6186880
    Abstract: An annular ring assembly is provided in which mechanical elements of the retaining ring assembly maintain strict planar flatness, rigidity, high tolerances and surface stability control. Additionally, glues, adhesives, and epoxies are eliminated from the construction of the plastic retaining and backing ring assembly. Further, adverse chemical reaction and contamination from adhesives that are typically in direct contact with chemical slurry and substrate layers undergoing polishing are eliminated. As a result, the present invention provides a low cost alternative to suppliers and manufacturers of retaining rings and facilitates a method to exchange, recondition and recycle the retaining ring for an infinite period, thus reducing consumable waste materials. Further, the ring assembly maintains uniform mechanical properties and strict tolerances after post reconditioning, thus reducing the variability and maintaining process consistency.
