Patent number: 11822692Abstract: The described implementations relate to an access control framework for a database system. One implementation can receive, from a user, a request for data that identifies a resource, such as a view that obtains data from a database. The implementation can check the identity of the user to identify user roles associated with the user. The implementation can identify an access policy that is associated with the resource, and a rule that is associated with the access policy and applies to the user roles associated with the user. The rule can be applied to the request for data using attributes of the access policy. For example, if the request for data is a query on a view, the query can be rewritten to apply the rule.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yi Miao, Mahmood G. Qadir, Pritvinath Obla, Pierre N. Martin, Anubhuti Manohar, Sizheng Chen, Vishal Mishra

Publication number: 20130110542Abstract: This patent relates to patient data and more specifically to accessing and managing patient data. One example can generate a user interface from which a user can select predefined entities for use by a health care management application, wherein the entities abstract the health care management application from underlying patient data. This example can allow the user to select an individual predefined entity from the list or define a different entity on the user interface. This example can also enable the user to associate the individual entity or the different entity with a semantic tag.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Jayaram R. Iyer, Benjamin L. Chronister, Jay W. Daugherty, David R. Stelts, JR., Peter G. Burns, Bryan Dove, Kishore R. Chaliparambil, Mahmood G. Qadir, Mehul Y. Shah

Patent number: 8418140Abstract: Many current computer software platforms support user customization and version upgradability. Unfortunately, upgrading a computer software platform may result in significant loss of user customization data. Additionally, it may be advantageous for users to export and import their customization data to share as customized business solutions with other instances of the computer software platforms. Accordingly, a technique for creating and importing a configuration package and a technique for creating and utilizing an update package is disclosed herein. The configuration package allows configuration data of elements within a computer software platform to be exported and imported. The update package allows elements to be exported within the update package. The update package may be utilized in upgrading, overwriting, and/or creating a new instance of elements. When an existing element is upgraded with an update element within the update package, the existing element's original configuration may be retained.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2009Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jayaram R. Iyer, Gopal Parupudi, Mahmood G. Qadir, Naveen R. Karri, Anubhuti Manohar, Chi-Kit Chan, Adil A. Sherwani, Christine H. Tran, Jason Minick, Kevin Joseph Fischer

Patent number: 6266054Abstract: An apparatus including a method of digital image processing which allows a user to remove narrow, elongated areas of image distortion from a digitized image. According to the method, the user selects a portion of an image to be edited and, once the portion has been identified, the image distortion within the portion is automatically removed. The procedure for removing the distortion includes the steps of delineating the distortion within the portion of the image selected and replacing the delineated area with a correction image which is created as a function of the attributes of the neighboring portions of the image.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1997Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Daryl T. Lawton, Mahmood G. Qadir

Patent number: 6160923Abstract: A technique of editing a digital image provides for the automatic removal of blotchy areas. From a user interface of a computer system, a user of the computer system identifies a location of a blotchy area to be removed in the digital image in response to prompting by the user interface. Based on the location provided by the user, the technique automatically determines the location of the blotchy area. Attributes of pixels comprising the digital image in a neighborhood around the blotchy area are automatically collected, while excluding the pixels comprising the blotchy area. The corrupted values of the pixels of the blotchy area are replaced with values derived at least in part from the attributes of the neighboring pixels Several different embodiments are described with various degrees of automation, including one embodiment in which all blotches of a character similar to the one selected by the user are automatically identified and removed.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1997Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Daryl T. Lawton, Mahmood G. Qadir
