  • Patent number: 9590927
    Abstract: A system and method for improved client and server communications, more particularly, an improved protocol that may be used for communication between a client and a server, such as in an email environment. Many features are provided for improved communications. An email server may provide the best message body available for an email message, may transfer an entire data object if requested property or properties are not well defined within the data object, may provide progress data for use in tracking download progress, and may send error information for a data object having an error. Email changes may be optimized at an email server component, even if the email changes occurred at another email server component. An email server may maintain a table of changes that occur to folders at an associated data store, and may notify a subscribed email client component of changes that occur in the table.

  • Patent number: 7451180
    Abstract: A method of batching multiple sets of responses on a server and sending the responses to a client in a single batch (i.e., a “chained” or “packed” batch). The sets of responses may be each be obfuscated and/or compressed. Once the batch is received by the client, each set is processed individually. The client may be configured to communicate the size of an uncompressed set of responses that it can handle. The server may use this information to create sets of responses that are the correct size, and may or may not compress the sets of responses. The server may chain the sets of responses and may continue to chain sets, compressed or not, until the server's buffer is full or close to full. The chained set of responses may then be sent to the client, and may process each of the sets of responses individually.

  • Patent number: 7413776
    Abstract: A method of depositing a Group IV metal-containing film on a substrate by conveying one or more of certain Group IV organometallic compounds in a gaseous phase to a deposition reactor containing a substrate and decomposing the one or more Group IV organometallic compounds to form a film of a Group IV metal on the substrate is provided. Such Group IV metal-containing films are particularly useful in the manufacture of electronic devices.
