Patent number: 10635728Abstract: Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of loading a bundle component, comprising a bundle of scripts and a manifest including metadata for the bundle, that is compatible with a dependent bundle component are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a bundle component identifier and a version identifier for the bundle component that the dependent bundle component depends on in a manifest associated with the dependent bundle component. The method then includes retrieving a manifest for a bundle component that includes the bundle component identifier and is a most recent compatible version of the bundle component. The method includes loading the most recent compatible bundle component based on a URL in the retrieved manifest for the bundle component.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2017Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter Blair Gonzalez del Solar, Marc Pasarin Soler, Ian Clanton-Thuon, Patrick Miller

Publication number: 20200004528Abstract: A server determines dependencies of packages in a plurality of repositories. An algorithm calculates a set of compatible versions for the dependencies of the packages, subject to a constraint that no side-by-side versions shall be introduced. A new branch in a repository of the plurality of repositories is created. The package manifests of the new branch are updated based on the set of compatible versions. The files that reference the package manifest in the new branch are updated. The new branch is validated based on the updated files. The server publishes a new version of an updated package in the repository in response to the validation being successful, or automatically determines which parties to notify in response to the validation being unsuccessful.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2018Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Nicholas Alexander Pape, Peter Blair Gonzalez Del Solar

Patent number: 10119270Abstract: A timber structural member includes: a first timber round having a first cooperating longitudinal surface, a second timber round having a second and a third cooperating longitudinal surfaces, and a third timber round having a fourth cooperating longitudinal surface. The first cooperating surface cooperates with the second cooperating surface, and the third cooperating surface cooperates with the fourth cooperating surface. The timber rounds are secured together to form a structurally integral unit in which the first cooperating surface is in contact with the second cooperating surface, and the third cooperating surface is in contact with the fourth cooperating surface, and the first, second and third timber rounds are substantially parallel to each other. The timber rounds are secured to each other by a plurality of spaced fasteners provided at acute and obtuse angles from a longitudinal axis of the structural member and extending through the timber rounds.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2015Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: LOGGO IP PTY LTDInventors: Patrick Thornton, Peter Blair
