  • Patent number: 11921743
    Abstract: Techniques for performing dynamic profile reconciliation in a communication system. A server computing system may identify two or more user profiles corresponding to a same user that is associated with the communication system. The server computing system may integrate historical data associated with the two or more user profiles into a single user profile (e.g., a destination user profile). The historical data may include messages sent and/or received via the two or more user profiles, files associated with the messages, metadata corresponding to each message, and the like. Responsive to combining the two or more user profiles into the single user profile, the server computing system may delete at least one of the two or more user profiles, storing the combined data in association with the single user profile.

  • Publication number: 20200387485
    Abstract: A system for customizing product documentation. In one example, the system includes an electronic computing device including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from a user device, log-on credentials, determine, based on the log-on credentials, an organization, and receive, from a database server, product documentation for a product. The electronic processor is also configured to receive, from the database server, modifications for the product documentation that are associated with the organization, apply the modifications to the product documentation to create modified product documentation, and send, to the user device, the modified product documentation.

  • Publication number: 20200387567
    Abstract: A system and model by which to manage edits to localized versions of base-language electronic content. The model determines the likelihood of whether a modification made to a document is substantive and should be propagated back to the base electronic content and assists users in identifying these edits. The proposed method can significantly improve workflow efficiency and allow users to feel more comfortable in the development and use of their electronic content across multiple authoring platforms.

  • Patent number: 9516063
    Abstract: An automated build server communicates with an automated build client to build virtual clients hosted by a virtual server. The automated build client communicates with the automated build server to obtain a configuration of the virtual client. The configuration specifies a previously approved security baseline for configuring the resources of the virtual client. The virtual client then obtains a security validation tool that audits the security baseline of the newly built virtual client. Based on the results of the security audit, the virtual client is placed in an operational mode or in a restricted operating mode. The restricted operating has limitations on resources when compared with the operational mode. An administrator is then notified of the security audit failure, who can then update the configuration stored by the automated build server to conform it with the security baseline used by the security validation tool in its security audit.

  • Patent number: 7607974
    Abstract: Membrane roofs are susceptible to damage in high winds. Wind can lift a membrane roof from a building and cause it to tear or become damaged. The present roof vent prevents liftoff and damage by reducing the air pressure under the membrane during high winds. The present roof vent has two opposed convex domes separated by a gap. Wind blowing across the roof flows between the domes where it accelerates and creates a region of low pressure according to the Venturi effect. The lower dome has an opening at the gap so that the low pressure is applied to the space under the membrane roof. Therefore, when wind blows across the roof, the vent draws air from under the membrane and the membrane is pressed against the roof, preventing liftoff.
