Patent number: 11868505Abstract: System, method, and/or computer program product embodiments for automatic removal of sensitive data items from records are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a record with a sensitive field (for storing a sensitive data item) is linked to a self-removal data policy that includes a condition set. When the condition set is true, the sensitive data item is automatically removed from the record without deleting the record and without removing other data items stored in other fields of the record. Conditions may be associated with a time period following the upload or storage of the sensitive date item, the occurrence of an event that requires the sensitive date item, a read or approval of the sensitive data item, etc. A user may modify a condition in the condition set to make the condition more stringent or less stringent.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Gang Shu, Jong Lee, Kasthuri Periyakoil, Shawn Butterfield, Gerard Iervolino, Mike Cain, Kevin Lun, Sriram Rangaraj, Sai Lakshminaraayana, Jianwu Zhao

Patent number: 11863525Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for capturing incoming communications from a sender across multiple channels, and determining whether to include those communications from the sender in an inbox using a waiting room. The waiting room lists unknown senders, and allows a user to add the senders to a blocklist, where the sender's communications are omitted from the user's inbox, or to a passlist, where a new CRM customer record is created for the sender. With the CRM customer record created, future communications from the sender are matched to the CRM customer record and permitted for inclusion in an inbox. This way, recipients can prioritize customers (or other high-value communications) within their inbox based on a corresponding existing CRM customer record, while simplifying the capture of those CRM customer records.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Gang Shu, John Huang, Jia Le Chen, David Aden, Xiaozhong Sun, Jong Lee

Patent number: 11400495Abstract: A foreign particle removal system for removing a foreign particle from a surface of an object has a tool gripper which grips a particle removal tool. A tip of the particle removal tool has a sticky tip portion. The sticky tip portion has an apex region at a remote end of the sticky tip portion and a flank region adjoining the apex region. The tool gripper holds the particle removal tool at an oblique angle with respect to the surface so that the flank region of the sticky tip portion faces towards the surface. The tilted particle removal tool is conveyed with the tool gripper to contact the foreign particle on the surface with the flank region of the sticky tip portion and a force is exerted onto the surface to attract the foreign particle onto the flank region. The particle removal tool may then be lifted away from the surface together with the foreign particle.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: ASM TECHNOLOGY SINGAPORE PTE LTDInventors: Keng Yew Song, Chin Tiong Ong, Soo Kin (Kenny) Tan, Qing Le Tan, Gang Shu

Patent number: 11017996Abstract: A foreign particle removal system for removing a particle from a surface of a fragile object has a tool gripper which grips a particle removal tool. A force sensing device determines a cleaning position of the particle removal tool relative to the surface whereat a threshold force is exerted on the surface, the threshold force being a force that is exerted by the particle removal tool on the surface that would pick up the foreign particle but would not damage the object. The particle removal tool is conveyed over a location of the foreign particle and is moved towards the surface to the cleaning position whereat the threshold force is exerted on the surface. The particle removal tool is then lifted away from the surface together with the foreign particle.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: ASM TECHNOLOGY SINGAPORE PTE LTDInventors: Gang Shu, Chin Tiong Ong, Keng Yew Song, Qing Le Tan
