Patent number: 11501223Abstract: For a given user, a task database system associated with the user is queried to identify a list of tasks associated with the user. For each of the tasks, an email system associated with the user is queried to obtain one or more emails and calendar events associated with the task. An IM system associated with the user is queried to obtain IM messages of an IM channel of which the user is a member. The IM channel has been specifically created to exchange messages concerning the task amongst the members of the IM channel. The task is then determined whether it satisfies a predetermined state (e.g., inactive, lack of future meetings) in view of emails, calendar events, and IM messages associated with the task based on a set of rules. If the task is determined to satisfy the predetermined state, a notification message is transmitted to a preconfigured destination.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: CLARI INC.Inventors: Rajkumar Ponnusamy, David Bao

Publication number: 20220245561Abstract: According to one embodiment, a customer relationship management (CRM) system is queried to obtain a list of projects that are associated with a particular user. A subset of the projects is selected from the list. Each of the projects in the subset includes an attribute that has been set to a predetermined attribute value or attribute state by the user (e.g., flagged, starred, a checkbox). For each of the projects in the subset, a communication channel (e.g., an instant messaging or IM system, an email group, a group chat, a social network community) associated with the project is identified. It is determined whether the user is already a member of the communication channel. If the user is not a member of the communication channel, the user is automatically added to the communication channel without user intervention from the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: RAJKUMAR PONNUSAMY, DAVID BAO

Patent number: 10328294Abstract: A load indicator for use with a fall protection apparatus having a line and a connector for connecting to a user includes a housing having a pass-through opening and a covered indicator region. At least a portion of the housing is configured for connecting to the line. The load indicator also includes a shear pin supported by the housing and extending across the pass-through opening, and a saddle extending across at least a portion of the pass-through opening and supported by at least a portion of the shear pin. The saddle is configured for connecting to at least a portion of the connector. The saddle is movable relative to the housing between a first position and a second position when a force exceeding a predetermined threshold value is applied on the saddle causing the shear pin to shear or break. At least a portion of the indicator region is uncovered in the second position of the saddle when the shear pin shears or breaks.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: MSA Technology, LLCInventors: Mitchell H.
