  • Publication number: 20220337402
    Abstract: A cloud-based network receives a public key of a public/private key pair and a credential for accessing secrets associated with a user network. The cloud-based network receives, from a user interface configured to facilitate remote control of the user network, a command to be executed at the user network. The cloud-based network encrypts, using the public key, the credential and the command. The cloud-based network forwards, to one or more client devices, the encrypted credential and command. The client devices are configured to decrypt the encrypted credential and command using a private key of the public/private key pair and execute the command on the user network.

  • Patent number: 10673823
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for provisioning migration containers are disclosed. A system includes a memory and a processor to generate a migration container and migration metadata. The migration container can store data verified as encrypted with an encryption key and the migration metadata can include a lifespan value indicating a time limit for the migration container. In an example, the system can, in response to a request from a user device, provide the encryption key and a migration container path corresponding to a location of the migration container to the user device. In an example, the system can store data in the migration container in response to detecting the data from the user device via the migration container path. The system can migrate the data in the migration container to a server, and delete the migration container in response to the time limit of the lifespan value being exceeded.

  • Patent number: 9542667
    Abstract: A user may easily read, browse, and jump through the messages contained within a thread. Different portions of the message may be highlighted such that they are easily identifiable. The user may easily navigate through the thread by selecting a user interface element, such as an arrow button, to move to the next or previous message within the thread. The order of the thread may also be reversed such that the user may view the thread from the first message to the last message, or view the thread from the last message to the first message. The messages within the thread may be marked, such as by using XML tags, in order to facilitate the identification of the sections of the messages within the thread.

  • Patent number: 9483256
    Abstract: Virtual applications are automatically kept up to date with the current version of a virtual application. Instead of the client having to obtain the entire version of the current virtual application, the client obtains the portions of the current virtual application that are changed from its version of the virtual application. After obtaining the changes needed to update its version of the virtual application, the client integrates those changes into its version of the virtual application.

  • Patent number: 8091020
    Abstract: A self-updating frameset having a target document in one frame and a Table-of-Contents (TOC) document in another frame hyperlinked to the target document. A reference document (RD) field is inserted into the TOC document to identify the target document as the target of the TOC. A TOC field in the TOC document scans the target document to identify selected headings as entries in the TOC document. When the selected headings are identified, the TOC field creates hyperlink entries in the TOC document, each hyperlink entry having a corresponding anchor at a selected heading in the target document. The hyperlink entries in the TOC document can be automatically updated each time the fields in the TOC document are recalculated.

  • Patent number: 8086954
    Abstract: Programmable object models for bibliographies and citations enable manipulation of bibliographic information. For example, a programmable object model for one or more bibliographic sources in a document may include a manipulation module programmed to manipulate the one or more bibliographic sources in the document. The bibliographic information may be manipulated via at least one object-oriented message call. The programmable object model may also enable manipulation of bibliographic information in the context of a master list of bibliographic sources. By way of example only, bibliographic sources may be copied from a master list to a document, and vice versa, in accordance with a programmable object model.

  • Patent number: 7818668
    Abstract: Fields for presentable files can be determined by an application (i) based on a field type and at least one parameter of the fields and (ii) responsive to raw data and a separate transformation engine, even when the application is unaware of the mechanics of the separate transformation engine. In a described implementation for a given field, the field type indicates that the given field is to be evaluated based on raw data that is referenced by the at least one parameter of the given field. The transformation engine is applied to the referenced raw data to produce a result for the given field that is suitable for presentation. In an example implementation, the transformation engine includes multiples sets of presentation rules that may be selectively established for application to the fields. In an example embodiment, respective presentation rule subsets target respective types of raw data.
