Patent number: 11966426Abstract: Systems and methods for querying and obtaining results from an external data source that operates with a different querying language is provided. The system activates a datasource connector of the system. The system receives attributes of a query in a native language of the system, and the datasource connector formats the attributes of the query into a query language statement in a native language of the external source. The datasource connector then makes an application programming interface (API) call to the external source. The API call includes a transmission of the query language statement to the external source, which causes the external source to perform a query using the query language statement. The datasource connector receives results of the query performed at the external source, whereby the results are in a non-tabular format. The datasource connector then reformats the results into a tabular format.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventor: Frederick Dean De Boer

Publication number: 20240076795Abstract: An ionically resistive ionically permeable element for use in an electroplating apparatus includes ribs to tailor hydrodynamic environment proximate a substrate during electroplating. In one implementation, the ionically resistive ionically permeable element includes a channeled portion that is at least coextensive with a plating face of the substrate, and a plurality of ribs extending from the substrate-facing surface of the channeled portion towards the substrate. Ribs include a first plurality of ribs of full maximum height and a second plurality of ribs of smaller maximum height than the full maximum height. In one implementation the ribs of smaller maximum height are disposed such that the maximum height of the ribs gradually increases in a direction from one edge of the element to the center of the element.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Stephen J.

Patent number: 11676092Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for cross-silo acquisition, reporting and analysis of enterprise data. A computer system receives enterprise data related to various vertical units of an enterprise, including machine-generated data and human-generated data. The computer system stores the machine-generated data with associations to at least some of the human generated data, and associates persona data representing a plurality of personas with the plurality of vertical units of the enterprise, such that at least one persona is associated with each of the vertical units. The computer system further associates a plurality of user-defined key performance indicators (KPIs) with the personas, and associates each of a plurality of users with at least one of the personas. The computer system computes the KPIs based on the enterprise data, and controls access by the users to the computed KPIs, based on personas to which the users are assigned.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Peter Sicilia, Archana Sulochana Ganapathi, Frederick Dean de Boer, Matthew Green

Patent number: 10760178Abstract: Electroplating results can be improved by dynamically controlling the pressure in different parts of an electroplating apparatus. For example, a number of plating problems can be avoided by ensuring that the pressure in an anode chamber always remains slightly above the pressure in an ionically resistive element manifold, both during electroplating and during non-electroplating operations. This pressure differential prevents the membrane from stretching downward into the anode chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: Stephen J.

Patent number: 10485301Abstract: A method is provided for making footwear utilizing a spray-on material. The method can include spraying a spray-on fabric onto surfaces of a three dimensional last. The last can be produced using additive manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing, based on data corresponding to dimensions and contours of a consumer's foot, and/or preselected aesthetic footwear designs. The spray-on fabric is sprayed onto the surfaces of the last and allowed to cure to form a flexible, non-woven fabric upper. The upper can be removed from the last and turned inside out. With the upper turned inside out, a sole can be joined to the fabric upper to form the footwear.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Wolverine Outdoors, Inc.Inventors: Shaun Michael Bohnsack, Clark A.

Patent number: 10351968Abstract: Apparatus and methods for electroplating are described. Apparatus described herein include anode supports including positioning mechanisms that maintain a consistent distance between the surface of the wafer and the surface of a consumable anode during plating. Greater uniformity control is achieved. The consumable anode in one implementation has a plurality of through channels and at least one depression on its surface (e.g., a depression surrounding a channel) that is configured for registering with a protrusion on a component of an anode assembly, such as with a support plate. Fasteners may pass through the channels in the anode and attach it to a charge plate.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Novellus Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jingbin Feng, R.
