Patent number: 11621995Abstract: A compute server of a distributed cloud computing network receives an indication of a hostname in a Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshake message from a client device. The compute server determines that an on-demand code piece is configured to execute on the compute server responsive to receiving an HTTP request for the hostname. Prior to receiving the request for the hostname, the compute server preloads the on-demand code piece for execution. The compute server receives an HTTP request from the client device that triggers execution of the preloaded on-demand code piece. The compute server executed the preloaded on-demand code piece and generates a response to the HTTP request based in part on the executed code piece. The compute server transmits the response to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: CLOUDFLARE, INC.Inventors: Kenton Taylor Varda, Lucas Pardue, Patrick Allen Meenan

Patent number: 11567909Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) tracking system tracks location and status of DBMSs running on servers, for example, servers of an organization connected by a network. The DBMS tracking system periodically receives information describing servers from a directory service. The DBMS tracking system maintains a DBMS tracking table. The DBMS tracking system installs database agents on DBMSs. The database agents send tracking messages and status messages to the DBMS tracking system. The DBMS tracking system updates the information stored in the DBMS tracking table based on the tracking messages and status messages.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Allen Tidrow, Matthew William Jones

Publication number: 20230021530Abstract: A timeline generation and solving tool is provided to parameterize a project at an application lifecycle management (“ALM”) tool, and generate and solve a timeline of features according to the parameterized project. The Scrum master may re-parameterize the project, causing a new timeline to be generated, solved, and visualized. In this fashion, the Scrum master may rapidly prototype many project parameterizations, resulting in many possible timelines. Without the use of a timeline generation and solving tool which interfaces with an ALM tool, retrieves project features, and converts project features to a common format suitable for computations based on working speeds, a Scrum master would need to generate and check a timeline by hand, and work indirectly by manually copying data out of the ALM tool, leading to a slow and potentially error-prone project roadmapping process which does not permit rapid prototyping of possible timelines.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Wesley Mao, Stephen Richard Jones, Daniel Joseph Sanders, Milo Harper Skalicky, Ronald Patrick Allen, Sarah Lynn Richards, Kevin Michael Arnold

Publication number: 20230014224Abstract: A base station is disclosed for use with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The base station includes: an enclosure; a cradle that is configured to charge a power source of the UAV during docking with the base station; and a temperature control system that is connected to the cradle and which is configured to vary temperature of the power source of the UAV. The temperature control system includes: a thermoelectric conditioner (TEC); a first air circuit that is thermally connected to the TEC and which is configured to regulate temperature of the TEC; and a second air circuit that is thermally connected to the TEC such that the TEC is located between the first air circuit and the second air circuit. The second air circuit is configured to direct air across the cradle to thereby heat or cool the power source of the UAV when docked with the base station.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Patrick Allen Lowe, Christopher Brian Grasberger, Kevin Patrick Smith O'leary, Christopher C.
