Patent number: 10769209Abstract: An apparatus has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to ingest and store a semi-structured document within a database. A template is suggested based upon an evaluation of the semi-structured document. The template includes a context specification of a template path that corresponds to a path within the semi-structured document. The template further includes an index specification characterizing data to be extracted from the semi-structured document. A template selection is received. The template selection is executed to form an index entry for the semi-structured document within an index.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: MarkLogic CorporationInventors: Fayez Saliba, Christopher Lindblad

Patent number: 10646033Abstract: A mobile workstation can include a head unit assembly. A worksurface can be coupled to the head unit assembly and configured to translate with respect to the head unit assembly between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A glide can be rotatably coupled to the head unit assembly and engaged with the worksurface. The glide can include a latch configured to translate with respect to a glide body of the glide. The mobile workstation can include a worksurface opening mechanism having a locking configuration and an unlocking configuration. The worksurface opening mechanism can include a latch release handle moveably coupled to the head unit assembly.

Patent number: 10476285Abstract: A tablet storage device includes a module on a cart frame that includes a wheeled base. A cart module defines a selectively accessible interior space having multiple storage slots within the interior space for holding tablets. In some cases a tablet storage device holds multiple tablets using two or more modules in a stacked arrangement on a wheeled base. Each module can hold a portion of the multiple tablets within storage slots within an interior space inside the module. The storage slots may have connectors for connecting to tablets, and the cart frame can have a network connection system that is adapted to provide a network connection for each tablet that is connected to one of the connectors. The cart frame may also have a power supply system for charging each tablet that is connected to one of the connectors.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Ergotron, Inc.Inventors: Mustafa A.

Patent number: 10394889Abstract: An apparatus has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to traverse paths of a document with semi-structured data. For each path that is unprotected, a term at a terminating node of the path is added to an index as a query term. For each path that is protected, a term at a terminating node of the path is combined with a permission to form a combined query term that is added to the index.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2017Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: MarkLogic CorporationInventors: Christopher Lindblad, Haitao Wu
