Publication number: 20070239736Abstract: Minimizing transaction managers. A method that may be practiced in a commit tree topology including a plurality of transaction managers to manage transactions. The transactions include a set of operations that are all performed if a transaction is completed or all aborted if a transaction is not completed. The transaction managers store transaction result information to allow recovery of a transaction in case of system failure. The method includes acts for minimizing storage overhead by minimizing the number of transaction managers used to coordinate transactions. The method includes identifying a set of transaction managers. A first transaction manager is selected from among the set of transaction managers. A second transaction manager is identified from among the set of transaction managers that is always available when the first transaction manager is available. Messages are redirected from a subordinate associated with the first transaction manager to the second transaction manager.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2006Publication date: October 11, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dana Groff, James Johnson, John Doty, Jonathan Cargille, Kapil Gupta, Michael Clark

Publication number: 20070038650Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for synchronizing ambient state among multiple transaction managers. A coordinating transaction manager establishes transaction ambient state for an application initiated transaction. The coordinating transaction manager sends and a subordinate transaction manager receives a pointer to an ambient state delegate. The subordinate transaction manager sends a request to invoke the ambient state delegate to the coordinating transaction manager in response to receiving an operation. The coordinating transaction manager invokes the ambient state delegate to format the transaction ambient state for the subordinate transaction manager. The coordinating transaction manager sends and the subordinate transaction manager receives the formatted transaction ambient state such that the subordinate transaction manager can appropriately process the operation within the scope of the transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2005Publication date: February 15, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: William Carley, James Johnson, John Doty, Jonathan Cargille, Kapil Gupta, Max Feingold, Michael Clark

Publication number: 20060206567Abstract: Example embodiments of the present invention provide a mechanism for allowing developers to define new interfaces and insert custom translational code that implements these new interfaces for legacy components that otherwise cannot communicate in a web service environment. These new interfaces are then exposed to the web service client in such a way that abstracts the web service client from the legacy components interfaces. The objects that implement the new interfaces are referred to herein as “service surrogates” and the new interfaces will be commonly referred to as a, “surrogate interfaces.” These surrogate interfaces may be initialized along with an instance of the service surrogate upon startup of an application that offers the services. In addition, a dynamic web service can simultaneously run along with the service surrogate for those services that may not need the features offered by the service surrogates.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2005Publication date: September 14, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrew Milligan, Harris Syed, John Doty, Max Feingold, Saji Abraham

Publication number: 20060176198Abstract: An analog to digital processor for time bounded signals. The present invention provides a processor that is capable of processing time bounded signals through a delta sigma modulator. The present invention provides a gate or premodulator to limit the input the application of a time bounded input signal to the digitizer only during the time bounds of the signal. This provides optimum filtering of both the input signal and the modulator output while preserving the benefits of the delta sigma approach.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2006Publication date: August 10, 2006Applicant: NOQSI AEROSPACE LTDInventor: John Doty

Publication number: 20060150200Abstract: A web services namespace pertains to an infrastructure for enabling creation of a wide variety of applications. The infrastructure provides a foundation for building message-based applications of various scale and complexity. The infrastructure or framework provides APIs for basic messaging, secure messaging, reliable messaging and transacted messaging. In some embodiments, the associated APIs are factored into a hierarchy of namespaces in a manner that balances utility, usability, extensibility and versionability.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2004Publication date: July 6, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shy Cohen, Geary Eppley, Douglas Purdy, James Johnson, Stephen Millet, Stephen Swartz, Vijay Gajjala, Aaron Stern, Alexander DeJarnatt, Alfred Lee, Anand Rjagopalan, Anastasios Kasiolas, Chaitanya Upadhyay, Christopher Kaler, Craig Critchley, David Levin, David Driver, David Wortendyke, Douglas Walter, Elliot Waingold, Erik Christensen, Erin Honeycutt, Eugene Shvets, Evgeny Osovetsky, Giovanni Della-Libera, Jesus Ruiz-Scougall, John Doty, Jonathan Wheeler, Kapil Gupta, Kenneth Wolf, Krishnan Srinivasan, Lance Olson, Matthew Tavis, Mauro Ottaviani, Max Feingold, Michael Coulson, Michael Marucheck, Michael Vernal, Michael Dice, Mohamed-Hany Ramadan, Mohammad Makarechian, Natasha Jethanandani, Richard Dievendorff, Richard Hill, Ryan Sturgell, Saurab Nog, Scott Seely, Serge Sverdlov, Siddhartha Puri, Sowmyanarayanan Srinivasan, Stefan Batres, Stefan Pharies, Tirunelveli Vishwanath, Tomasz Janczuk, Uday Hegde, Umesh Madan, Vaithialingam Balayogan, Vipul Modi, Yaniv Pessach, Yasser Shohoud

Publication number: 20060123128Abstract: A mechanism for negotiating a relatively transport agnostic communication protocol for use in accomplishing a distributed activity. The potential protocols subject to negotiation may be, for example, extensions to Web Services Coordination. In that case, when the initiator creates a transaction, the initiator also negotiates the desired protocol with its transaction manager. The transaction manager and any other participants in the transaction will then follow that negotiated protocol when communicating with the transaction manager. The protocol may be selected to improve performance and may be tailored to existing needs and capabilities.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2004Publication date: June 8, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Max Feingold, David Langworthy, James Johnson, John Doty, Michael Clark

Publication number: 20050261804Abstract: The present invention is a mechanical lock manipulator and method of manipulating mechanical locks. There is a computer or microprocessor that controls a motor. The motor rotates the dial of a mechanical lock either clockwise or counterclockwise as directed by the computer. The computer receives an input from a transducer mounted to the lock or container. The transducer converts sounds and/or vibrations, into electrical signals. The computer collects data from the transducer and then evaluates this data and determines the opening combination for the lock.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2004Publication date: November 24, 2005Inventors: John Doty, Gerald Dawson, Carl Cole
