  • Publication number: 20240119383
    Abstract: An orchestration system of or otherwise available to a web platform centralizes the execution of workflow components of a workflow associated with a job posting hosted by the web platform using various software services internal and/or external to the web platform. The workflow components and attributes thereof are determined based on the job posting. Domain-specific language (DSL) instructions for the various workflow components are generated. First DSL instructions are invoked by the orchestration system to cause an execution of a first workflow component of the workflow by a first software service. The orchestration system obtains an output of the first workflow component, such as values of relevant attributes, and, based on the output and in some cases information derived other than from the first workflow component, invokes next DSL instructions to cause an execution of a next workflow component of the workflow by another software service.

  • Patent number: 11304541
    Abstract: A depth-adjustable fabric liner for removable attachment to a structural support fame for use as a child containment device. In example forms, the depth-adjustable fabric liner provides for adjustability to the depth of the floor or bottom of the liner such that the bottom or floor portion of the liner is adjustable between at least two different heights. In example forms, the depth-adjustable fabric liner is adjustable relative to the structural support frame between a first floor position, a second floor position, and a third floor position such that the child containment device is generally convertible between a play yard configuration, a sleeper/bassinet configuration, and a diaper changing station configuration. In some example forms, the liner is substantially elastic and stretchable.
