Patent number: 11080689Abstract: Various embodiments of a technique to securely process and transfer a token in a distributed chain database are described herein. The technique includes receiving a valid call to a transfer function to execute a transfer, intercepting the transfer function call and routing a check function to an authorization service that is executed on a chain database, and determining in the authorization service whether the transfer is authorized. The authorization service includes a state that is controlled by a process that is executed off the chain database and returns a value that indicates whether the transfer can proceed. The system then determines whether to validate or invalidate the transfer in response to the returned value.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2017Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Harbor Technologies, LLCInventors: Robert Paul Remeika, Jr., David Oliver Sacks, Arisa Amano

Patent number: 8909719Abstract: Primary and secondary messages are included in a feed according to a “full thread” mode or a “stream” mode. The “full thread” mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include both primary and secondary messages. In contrast, the “stream” mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include only primary messages. In this way, a feed viewed in “full thread” mode provides to users a comprehensive view of messages included in the feed. Alternatively, a feed viewed in “stream” mode provides to users a concise view messages included in the feed.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Yammer, Inc.Inventors: David Oliver Sacks, Adam Marc Pisoni, Kris Branson Gale
