  • Publication number: 20250211595
    Abstract: Technologies are described for managing metadata associated with external content. For example metadata can be obtained that describes content stored on external systems. The metadata can be obtained without locally storing the content items themselves. For example, the metadata can be retrieved from the external systems while the external content continues to be stored on the external systems. The metadata can also include indications of the actions that can be performed in relation to the external content. For example, actions can be obtained (e.g., locally determined and/or obtained from the external systems) and added to the metadata. The metadata can be stored and used locally. For example, the metadata can be used to locally perform the actions in relation to the external content. The metadata can also be used to locally initiate actions that are then carried out in the external systems.

  • Publication number: 20250190415
    Abstract: Technologies are described for managing multi-tenant identifiers (e.g., multi-tenant keys or multi-tenant database keys). Creating multi-tenant identifiers can comprise receiving a source system identifier from a source system, determining a source identity provider of the source system, creating a multi-tenant identifier representing a combination of the source system identifier and the source identity provider, and storing the created multi-tenant identifier. Using multi-tenant identifiers can comprise receiving a request to lookup a source system identifier, associated with a source system, in a multi-tenant identifier mapping table, determining a source identity provider of the source system, identifying an entry in the table with the source system identifier and the source identity provider, and returning a multi-tenant identifier associated with the identified entry in the table.

  • Patent number: 9026562
    Abstract: Methods and systems of agnostic data storage are provided. The agnostic data storage systems and methods store data records of various data types from different data sources. The method stores IDs and data elements of data records in different data tables. IDs of data records are stored in a first table, and data elements of data records are stored in a second table. Data entries of the second table are linked to an entry in the first table. The second table stores data element name, data element value, and data element data type respectively.

  • Patent number: 4093885
    Abstract: A sensor for sensing vibrations in a transducer assembly and for generating an electrical signal indicative of the vibrations is disclosed. The sensor includes a piezoelectric generator which is mounted with a bimorph on a common substrate. The piezoelectric generator and bimorph have a common cantilevered end portion and an opposed deflectable free end portion so that deflection of the free end portion of the bimorph causes a corresponding deflection of the free end portion of the piezoelectric generator, whereby the piezoelectric generator generates an electrical indication of the instantaneous degree of deflection of the bimorph.
