Patent number: 11983484Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with one or more data objects in an online social network. A user interface includes a publisher with a custom action. The custom action is defined in accordance with custom action instructions provided by a first entity via an application programming interface (API). Such custom action instructions may declaratively or programmatically define the data object, the interaction to be performed with the data object, and other attributes associated with the custom action. A user may request to interact with the data object via selection of the custom action by a second entity. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the data object to update a database system associated with the data object. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Scott D.

Publication number: 20240141541Abstract: An apparatus for electroplating a metal on a semiconductor substrate with high control over plated thickness on a die-level includes an ionically resistive ionically permeable element (e.g., a plate with channels), where the element allows for flow of ionic current through the element towards the substrate during electroplating, where the element includes a plurality of regions, each region having a pattern of varied local resistance, and where the pattern of varied local resistance repeats in at least two regions. An electroplating method includes providing a semiconductor substrate to an electroplating apparatus having an ionically resistive ionically permeable element or a grid-like shield having a pattern correlating with a pattern of features on the substrate, and plating metal, while the pattern on the substrate remains spatially aligned with the pattern of the element or the grid-like shield for at least a portion of the total electroplating time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Lee Peng Chua, Gabriel Hay Graham, Bryan L.

Patent number: 6899670Abstract: An organ manipulator including at least one suction member or adhesive disc mounted to a compliant joint, a flexible locking arm for mounting such suction member or compliant joint, and a method for retracting and suspending an organ in a retracted position using suction (or adhesive force) so that the organ is free to move normally (e.g., to beat or undergo other limited-amplitude motion) in at least the vertical direction during both steps. In preferred embodiments, a suction member exerts suction to retract a beating heart and suspend it in a retracted position during surgery. As the retracted heart beats, the compliant joint allows it to expand and contract freely (and otherwise move naturally) at least in the vertical direction so that hemodynamic function is not compromised. The suction member conforms or can be conformed to the organ anatomy, and its inner surface is preferably smooth and lined with absorbent material to improve traction without causing trauma to the organ.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2002Date of Patent: May 31, 2005Assignee: Origin Medsystems Inc.Inventors: Steven Peng, Larry Voss, David E.

Patent number: 6849044Abstract: An organ-stabilizing element is covered with a layer of textile material such as cloth to enhance slip-free engagement with an organ such as a beating heart during surgery thereon. The organ-stabilizing element is supported on a stacked structure of successive ball elements and rings that can be selectively flexible or rigid in response to tensioning of a flexible cable within a central bore of the structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2002Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Inventors: Larry Voss, Steven Peng, David Hancock, Grace Carlson

Patent number: 6816384Abstract: A structure for a handheld device with a function of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection has a circuit member (230), a displaying member (240), and a conductive supporting frame (250) with a hollow region (251). The circuit member and the displaying member are affixed to the conductive supporting frame at the hollow region to construct a subassembly (300). The subassembly is then mounted in a housing (202) consisting of upper and lower housings (210,212) at a location that the conductive supporting frame is just beside a gap (203) between the upper and lower housings. ESD-sensitive components (231,232) on the circuit member and the displaying member are surrounded by the conductive supporting frame, whereby ESD entering the housing via the gap which may cause a harm to the ESD-sensitive components and the displaying member is absorbed by the supporting frame and transmitted to ground via an electrical connection between the supporting frame and ground trace of the circuit member.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2003Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: High Tech Computer, Corp.Inventors: James Wu, Morgan Liu, Steven Peng
