Patent number: 11500837Abstract: Performance of optimizations to correct duplicate, missing, or other user-induced errors in hierarchical data storage may be automated. Relationships between items may be used to determine whether a modification should be made to items. Once identified, a determination may be made as to whether the modification will impact query performance. If so, then permission may be obtained before the modification is made. If not, then the modification may be made automatically.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ahmed Reaz, Michael Curtis James, Gavin Hill, Amol Godbole, Andy Chang

Publication number: 20160352812Abstract: A system includes a processor which has access to a representation of model of activity, which includes workspaces. Each workspace includes domain hierarchies for representing an organizational structure of the collaborating users using the system, and initiatives hierarchies representing process structures for accomplishing goals. An interface permits users to view and modify the workspaces for which the user has access. Each user can have different access permissions in different workspaces. The domain and initiative hierarchies provide two views of the workspace objects without duplicating resources. A resource is a collection of shared elements defined by the users that give users associated with the workspace access to information sources. Users can define knowledge boards for creating reports based on information fields of the resources. The knowledge board is associated with a resource template from which the resource is created.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventors: Janet Ahlgren, Andy Chang, Kevin Kelley, Gideon Moran, Gorham Palmer, Hung Phan, Nhat Phan, Stuart Rudolph, Robert Torchon

Patent number: 7807593Abstract: In one embodiment the invention is an article comprising at least two layers, a first or low crystallinity layer comprising a low crystallinity polymer and a second or high crystallinity layer comprising a high crystallinity polymer. The high crystallinity polymer has a melting point as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) that is about the same or within less than 25 C of the melting point of the low crystallinity polymer. The article is elongated at a temperature below the melting point of the low crystallinity polymer in at least one direction to an elongation of at least about 50% of its original length or width, to form a pre-stretched article. Preferably, the high crystallinity layer is capable of undergoing plastic deformation upon the elongation.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2006Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Dow Global Technologies Inc.Inventors: Rajen M.
