Patent number: 11943321Abstract: Techniques described herein are used to support cross-platform data sharing, access, and management between a communication process flow management platform and a communication platform. Specifically, techniques described herein support a communication process flow management platform detecting an event associated with a communication process flow that control electronic communications between a tenant and a set of users. The platform may generate a data object corresponding to the event. The data object may include metadata associated with the event. The platform may transmit, to a communication platform, a request that includes the data object. The request may be configured to cause an entry associated with the event to be posted into the communication platform.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Salesforce Inc.Inventors: Aaron Popelka, William Robert Jennings, II, Andrew Short, Pranavkumar Janakbhai Parekh

Publication number: 20240073309Abstract: A privacy-enable mobile phone case. The privacy-enabled case includes a privacy housing and a sliding element. The sliding element is slidingly coupled to the privacy housing and configured to secure a mobile device having one or more front facing camera(s), one or more rear facing camera(s), and one or more microphone(s). The one or more rear facing camera(s) and the one or more front facing camera(s) are covered when the sliding element is in a closed position by the privacy housing and cannot capture imagery, and the one more microphone(s) are covered in the closed position by the privacy housing thereby obstructing the recording of sound. The one or more rear facing camera(s) and the one or more front facing camera(s) are uncovered when the sliding element is in an open position and can capture imagery, and the one more microphone(s) are uncovered in the open position and can record sound.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventor: William Short

Publication number: 20220228210Abstract: Provided in some aspects are methods for light-controlled in situ surface patterning of a substrate. Compositions such as nucleic acid arrays produced by the methods are also disclosed. In some embodiments, a method disclosed herein comprises using photoresist for photocontrollable hybridization and/or ligation of nucleic acid molecules, wherein photoresist removal allows hybridization and/or ligation of nucleic acid molecules at the exposed area. A large diversity of barcodes can be created in molecules on the substrate via sequential rounds of light exposure, hybridization, and ligation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2021Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: David Michael PATTERSON, Denis PRISTINSKI, Preyas SHAH, Steven William SHORT, Dieter WILK, Siyuan XING

Publication number: 20220025711Abstract: An apparatus to increase a diameter of a well bore includes a drill pipe that includes a first end, a second end spaced apart from the first end, and a longitudinal axis. A first reamer is coupled to the drill pipe, the first reamer including a first plurality of teeth and a first reamer axis spaced radially apart from the longitudinal axis of the drill pipe. At least a second reamer is coupled to the drill pipe and spaced longitudinally apart from the first reamer. The at least a second reamer includes a second plurality of teeth and a second reamer axis spaced radially apart from the longitudinal axis of the drill pipe, the second reamer axis being angularly offset from the first reamer axis such that a drift diameter of the apparatus is smaller than a drill diameter of the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: Extreme Technologies, LLCInventors: Lot William Short, JR., Robert Bradley Beggs, Richard Earl Beggs

Patent number: 11156035Abstract: An apparatus to increase a diameter of a well bore includes a drill pipe and a first reamer and at least a second reamer. The second reamer is positioned diametrically opposed to the first reamer. A first plurality of cutting teeth are positioned about each of the first reamer and the at least a second reamer. A top of each successive tooth in a direction counter to a rotation of the apparatus in the well bore extends a radial distance from the longitudinal axis. Each tooth of the first plurality of cutting teeth is positioned at a different circumferential location about each reamer from any adjacent teeth of the first plurality of teeth. At least a second plurality of cutting teeth are positioned about each of the first reamer and the at least a second reamer, the at least a second plurality of cutting teeth being spaced longitudinally apart from the first plurality of cutting teeth.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Extreme Technologies, LLCInventors: Lot William Short, Jr., Robert Bradley Beggs, Richard Earl Beggs
