Patent number: 11934646Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with components across different domains in a single user interface in an online social network. The user interface includes a first component and a second component, where the first component exposes content from a first database system at a first network domain and the second component exposes content from a second database system at a second network domain. A first interaction with the first component is received at a computing device, followed by a reference being provided in the second component, where the reference includes information related to the first interaction. A second interaction with the second component regarding the reference can be received at the computing device. Interactions between the components hosted on different database systems can occur through an application programming interface (API).Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Scott D.

Publication number: 20170188898Abstract: The efficacy of tissue piercing elements in the area of transdermal drug delivery is well-documented. Multiple studies have shown that enhancement of skin permeation via creation of microscopic pores in the stratum corneum can greatly improve the delivery rates of drugs. However, skin perforation with tissue piercing elements is not the only factor affecting the rate of drug transport. Other factors including such as the formulation of the drug and rate of closure of the micropores closure also need to be considered. Similarly micro tissue piercing elements have been used with less success by several workers for continuous glucose monitoring.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2016Publication date: July 6, 2017Applicant: Arkal, Inc.Inventors: Arvind N.
