  • Publication number: 20230368144
    Abstract: An example method to facilitate online collaboration includes granting access to an editable collaboration space to multiple users. The method also includes dividing the users into subgroups including at least a first subgroup and a second subgroup. In addition, the method includes assigning the subgroups to different virtual breakout rooms in the editable collaboration space, including assigning users in the first subgroup to a first virtual breakout room and assigning users in the second subgroup to a second virtual breakout room that is different than the first virtual breakout room. Further, the method includes populating each virtual breakout room with common initial content obtained from a virtual common room, the common initial content being the same in each virtual breakout room.

  • Publication number: 20230085169
    Abstract: An example method to cluster graphical objects in a collaboration space includes displaying graphical objects in a collaboration space, each of the graphical objects including text. The method includes receiving first input to select one or more of the graphical objects. The method includes receiving second input to cluster the selected one or more graphical objects according to intent, theme, or commonalities of the text of the selected graphical objects. The method includes determining one or more intents, themes, or commonalities of the text of the selected one or more graphical objects. The method includes, in response to the second input, clustering the selected one or more graphical objects according to the one or more determined intents, themes, or commonalities of the text of the selected one or more graphical objects.

  • Publication number: 20220108276
    Abstract: An example method to facilitate online collaboration includes granting access to a collaboration space to multiple client devices, each associated with a corresponding one of multiple users, the multiple users including a first user and a second user. The method includes receiving input from the first user to create a first set of graphical objects in the collaboration space. The method includes receiving input from the second user to create a second set of graphical objects in the collaboration space. The method includes applying different visual attributes to graphical objects authored by different users to visually identify an author or creator of each graphical object such that all graphical objects of the first set of graphical objects have a first visual attribute and all graphical objects of the second set of graphical objects have a second visual attribute that is different than the first visual attribute.

  • Patent number: 9641504
    Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for HTTP header-based authentication. For example, the systems and methods include receiving, at a mobile platform server, a first request message from a client device, the first request message requesting to download an application from the mobile platform server, sending, to the client device, a first response message having a first authentication query within header portions of the first response message, receiving, at the mobile platform server, a second request message having first authentication credentials within header portions of the second request message, sending, to the client device, a second response message having a second authentication query within header portions of the second response message, receiving, at the mobile platform server first device, a third request message having second authentication credentials within header portions of the third request message, and sending, to the client device, the application.

  • Patent number: 9315137
    Abstract: A universal aircraft mule having a rollable and steerable frame and a load carrying cradle configured for removably supporting and carrying an auxiliary. The frame tiltably and liftably supports the cradle with a lift assembly. The lift assembly raises and lowers the cradle in relation to the frame and tilts the cradle in relation to the frame. The cradle also allows an auxiliary to be skewed within the cradle to facilitate loading and unloading of the auxiliary.
