Patent number: 11500859Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for propagating modifications in flows. In an embodiment, a central system activates a master process (e.g., master flow), including a sub-process (e.g., sub-flow) and a pre-programmed object (e.g., component). The master process is configured to execute a task using the sub-process and pre-programmed object. The central system initializes a variable corresponding to the master process. The central system further identifies a metadata object using the variable. The metadata object defines a runtime configuration of the master process and sub-process. The central system receives a modification to a setting of the metadata object and propagates the modification of setting in the metadata object to the master process and sub-process.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Paul Lucas, Derrick Vuong, Jiun Ryu, Elly Yijun Zhu

Patent number: 10458870Abstract: A pressure sensor may measure gas or liquid pressure. A chamber may have an inlet that receives the gas or liquid. A flexible diaphragm may be within the chamber that has a surface exposed to the gas or liquid after it flows through the inlet. A pressure sensor system may sense changes in the flexible diaphragm caused by changes in the pressure of the gas or liquid. A pressure-insensitive sensor system may sense changes in the flexible diaphragm that are not caused by changes in the pressure of the gas or liquid. The pressure-insensitive sensor system may be insensitive to changes in the flexible diaphragm caused by changes in the pressure of the gas or liquid.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: MKS Instruments, Inc.Inventors: Lei Gu, Paul Lucas, Stephen F.
