Publication number: 20200133742Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a data model API to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The cloud collaboration platform may provide data storage, a data model, and an application programming interface to embedded third-party live applications to allow the live applications to securely create, store, and access data within the cloud collaboration platform. The data model allows records stored in the cloud collaboration platform to sync independently, merge intelligently, and function offline.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2019Publication date: April 30, 2020Inventors: Julie Tung, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Patrick Linehan, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga

Publication number: 20200133650Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a security model to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The security approach may dedicate a frame to each live application, serving the frame from a different domain than a document in which the live application is embedded. This approach ensures that more stringent security requirements may be required of the live application and allows the data presented to the live application to be narrowly tailored. The security model may further leverage sandbox attributes and content-security policies to restrict the behavior of sandboxed and non-sandboxed live applications in accordance with best security practices.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2019Publication date: April 30, 2020Inventors: Julie TUNG, Rajeev NAYAK, Kevin GIBBS, Bret TAYLOR, Yang SU, Nate BOTWICK, Pedram RAZAVI, Scott GOODFRIEND, Nikrad MAHDI, Andy CHUNG, Drew HAMLIN, Patrick LINEHAN, Sophia WESTWOOD, Lindsey SIMON, Shrey BANGA, Diana BERLIN

Patent number: 10606576Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a developer console to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The developer console may support the software development lifecycle for third-party live applications deployed in the cloud collaboration platform in a myriad of fashions. The developer console may vet live applications prior to deployment, provide release and version control mechanisms, and offer a range of configuration options to control third-party live applications. The developer console may provide an initial bundle to developers that include supporting functions and modules enabling the developer to run a development environment on a local server as a local platform. A developer console may allow developers to configure access to third-party data sources that may be harnessed by a live application.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Julie Tung, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Diana Berlin, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Nikrad Mahdi, Andy Chung, Drew Hamlin, Patrick Linehan, Sophia Westwood, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga, Dave Engelberg, Dan Willhite

Patent number: 9859663Abstract: Shields, wire connectors, crimping devices, and wire managers. At least some of the shields are used with a cable that includes a jacket surrounding wire pairs, and a different pair shield surrounding each wire pair. Such shields include a compressible member positioned adjacent end portions of a portion of the wire pairs. The compressible member presses a conductive member against the pair shield surrounding each wire pair in the portion of wire pairs. At least some of the wire connectors include a conductive body positionable alongside a selected wire having a connector surrounded circumferentially by an insulating jacket. The body includes a receptacle with a tapered opening defined between first and second edge portions of the body. As a portion of the selected wire passes through the opening into the receptacle, the first and second edge portions cut through the insulating jacket to contact the conductor.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: LEVITON MANUFACTURING CO., INC.Inventors: Bryan L.
