Publication number: 20240411751Abstract: A model comprises different processing nodes that perform different functions on input data, such as data prompts. Each node has batching criteria including a threshold value that when exceeded triggers a transmission of a batch of processing requests to the corresponding node. Different processing requests for a node are routed to a batching cache for that node. Processing requests are prevented from being routed to the node until the batching criteria is met. Once the batching criteria is met, a batch of processing requests stored in the batching cache are routed to the corresponding node.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Marko RADMILAC, Andrew James WALD, Joshua Bryan Wyman CLEMONS

Publication number: 20240412040Abstract: A model graph receives a data prompt as input. The data prompt is segmented into multiple segments. An instance of the model graph is generated for each segment of the data prompt. Each instance of the model graph is also pruned according to policy information associated with the model graph instance's corresponding data prompt segment. Each instance of the model graph generates an intermediary output. A final output of the model graph for the entire data prompt is generated based on a combination of the intermediary outputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Marko RADMILAC, Andrew James WALD, Joshua Bryan Wyman CLEMONS

Publication number: 20240411733Abstract: A meta-model topology comprises a plurality of functions and conforms to a global label schema. A new function not included in the plurality of functions is integrated into the meta-model topology. A particular label of interest that is associated with the new function is identified and the new function is configured such that an output from the new function conforms to an output form corresponding to the particular label of interest from the global label schema. The new function is then integrated into the meta-model topology and the meta-model topology that includes the new function is used to generate a model graph. The model graph is then deployed to a remote application that is configured to receive data prompts comprising input data processed by nodes of the model graph.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Marko RADMILAC, Andrew James WALD, Joshua Bryan Wyman CLEMONS

Patent number: 11520461Abstract: A contribution management system and process for facilitating the identification of individual users who have made contributions to an electronic content item, and the extent of that contribution. As an example, a reader may review the list of contributors with a representation of their relative degree or amount of contribution to the document, and also allow for access to other documents that have been developed by the identified contributor. These tools can provide collaborative document users the ability to more clearly distinguish casual contributors or non-contributing owners of the document from higher-level contributors whose authorship has significantly shaped the content. In addition, the listing or identification of top contributors can be configured to facilitate communication between an interested reader and the identified contributor, which increases the ease with which members of larger organizations can collaborate, seek mentorship, or develop useful relationships.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Andrew James Wald, Jill Kathleen Larson, Rui Hu, Venkat Pradeep Chilakamarri

Patent number: 10614404Abstract: Systems and methods for providing productivity insights regarding user networks are provided. Productivity insights are determinable based on event data, such as email messaging events and/or calendaring events, and enable a user to see at a glance how and with whom the user has spent his or her time. Additionally, productivity insights highlight any changes that occur over time within a user network. Analytics based on event data allow a user to easily identify top collaborators, which may or may not be the most important collaborators, as well as specific metrics for each collaborator, such as response time, email read rate, total collaboration time, etc. Thus, productivity insights serve to qualify and quantify collaborative relationships for individual employees so that they can leverage their time more effectively by improving collaboration within their networks, thereby increasing workplace productivity.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2016Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Wendy Guo, Andrew James Wald, Noelle Renee Beaujon

Patent number: 9212485Abstract: An improved modular building panel and system for building construction is disclosed. The improved modular building panel comprises a novel honeycomb or lattice core comprising multiple layers of corrugated, preferably metal, components mechanically connected by any means known in the art, but which may be chemical bonding. External cladding layers comprising a novel cement mix comprising, in a preferred embodiment, Portland cement, silica sand, perlite, glass beads, and water, in combination with the honeycomb structure, provide a lightweight, highly durable, low-cost, projectile resistant, highly insulating, water, mold and mildew resistant, wind resistant novel modular wall system which is adapted for use in commercial, residential, and other construction and which provides superior security to the user. The modular building panel and system of the invention may be utilized for walls, roofs, floors, bridges, or other structures.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Inventors: Victor Wolynski, James Wald

Publication number: 20050256909Abstract: A method and system for sharing files between a group of computer systems. The file sharing system allows a group of computer systems to be defined. The files shared by a group are associated with a group folder. A group folder is represented by a folder created by the file system of each member of the group. The folder at each member contains a file for each file that is shared by the group. The files in the folder of a member may be actual files stored at that member, which contains the content of the shared file, or virtual files identifying the actual file that is stored at another member. When a member accesses a virtual file, the file sharing system detects the access and requests that the file owner provide a copy of the file to the accessing member on a peer-to-peer basis. Whenever a shared file is modified, the file owner sends updated metadata for that file to the other members of the group.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2004Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: Amir Aboulhosn, Rui Chen, David Koo, David Vineberg, James Wald, Stephen Murphy
