Patent number: 11229555Abstract: A removable covering for an object includes an adhered section that is adhered to the object (e.g., adhered to a receiving surface of the object via an adhesive layer) and a free section that is not adhered to the object. The removable covering is sufficiently flexible to allow at least partial removal of the adhered section from the object by application of a force to the removable covering. Typically, the removable covering is adhered to the object such that resistance to removal of the covering from the object varies at different zones of attachment between the removable covering and the object. The resistance variation may be achieved, for example, by employing tabs, loops, folds, varying-strength adhesive strips, textures and/or release coatings. Exemplary packaging systems (e.g., containing removable coverings and/or objects) include features such that resistance to removal of the packaging system from an object varies at different phases of removal.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: EMRGE, LLCInventor: Felmont F.

Patent number: 11233852Abstract: A computing system obtains a document that is to be shared between a first user and a second user. A first computing device of the first user displays a first local copy of the document. A second computing device of the second user displays a second local copy of the document. While a first view of the document corresponding to a state of the first local copy is being presented, the computing system receives an indication that the second user is to assume control of presentation of the document from the first user. The computing system receives state data from the second computing device that is indicative of a second view of the document corresponding to the second local copy. Based upon the state data, the computing system causes a state of the first local copy of the content to be updated to present the second view.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2021Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pradeep Kumar Reddy K, Rahul Gupta, Bhavesh Sharma

Patent number: 11231869Abstract: A data processing method includes receiving a message related to performance of a storage device, the message including an indicator value regarding the performance in a first time period, and a timestamp associated with the first time period. A status record of the storage device, including the number of received indicator values in a second time period including the first time period, is determined based on the timestamp, wherein the number of the received indicator values is less than a threshold number and can be updated based on the indicator value. The performance in the second time period can be determined based on the indicator value and the received indicator values in response to determining that the updated number of the received indicator values reaches the threshold number. Thus, the performance of the storage device can be quickly and accurately determined, and the consumption of computing resources is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Shijie Zhao, Colin Yuanfei Cai, Qirong Wang, Bei Gao
