Patent number: 9378294Abstract: A target web page may embed resources hosted by a source server. However, this embedding may result in compatibility and/or security issues; e.g., the dimensions of the embedded resource may skew the layout of the target web page. Instead, a source web page may be rendered separately from a target web page, and a source region of the source web page (e.g., a region defined by a set of coordinates) may be extracted from the source web page and may be presented in a target region of the target web page. The elements of the source region may be displayed and executed in isolation within the source web page, and may operate within a source domain (e.g., communicating with the source server and accessing cookies stored by the source server), yet may not interact with the elements of the target web page, thereby alleviating many compatibility and security problems.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Wook Jin Chung, Gupta Garuda, Rahul Sudhir Kumar, Chad Steven Estes

The second element is sides of the compartment that joins the outer edge of the top, extends downward, and ends in a beaded edge. The third element is a base of the compartment with a top, bottom, and edge. The top of the base has a groove channel proximate the edge that is able to detachably attach to the beaded edge of the side and the edge of the base extends outward from the channel at least 0.13 inches. The fourth element is a joining element that affixes the top of the storage compartment to the bottom of one of at least two differently branded commercial material containers.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: LJA Companies, LLCInventor: Chad Steven Erickson
