  • Patent number: 11468020
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for discontinuing the following of records in an on-demand database service environment. In one embodiment, one or more records are identified according to one or more designated criteria. The records are stored in a database. The records are being followed by one or more users in an on-demand database service environment such that updates to the records are capable of being stored as feed items in one or more feed tables in the database. The feed items are capable of being published in an information feed displayed on one or more devices associated with the one or more users. The following of the identified one or more records by the one or more users is discontinued.

  • Patent number: 10803377
    Abstract: Techniques for predictively selecting a content presentation in a client-server computing environment are described. In an example, a content management system detects an interaction of a client with a server and accesses client features. Responses of the client to potential content presentations are predicted based on a multi-task neural network. The client features are mapped to input nodes and the potential content presentations are associated with tasks mapped to output nodes of the multi-task neural network. The tasks specify usages of the potential content presentations in response to the interaction with the server. In an example, the content management system selects the content presentation from the potential content presentations based on the predicted responses. For instance, the content presentation is selected based on having the highest likelihood. The content management system provides the content presentation to the client based on the task corresponding to the content presentation.

  • Patent number: 10762292
    Abstract: The technology disclosed supports content collaboration between any number of users and systems by constructing WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) outputs of changes proposed by the users to a shared live application or to a document such as code, text, or graphics. The technology disclosed allows authors to update consumer facing content instantaneously based on walkthrough feedback from other contributors or coauthors. Further, the authors, without requiring technical expertise of a developer, can immediately see the consequences of incorporating changes suggested by the contributing authors, based on the WYSIWYG outputs of the changes proposed by the authors.

  • Patent number: 10747261
    Abstract: A method of maintaining a kiosk of the type including a display and a sub-chassis configured to house at least a portion of a user interactive component therewithin. The method involves: removing a first component door from the sub-chassis, the first component door having a first configuration adapted to accommodate a first user interactive component; removing the first user interactive component; replacing the first user interactive component with a second user interactive component; and installing a second component door onto the sub-chassis, the second component door having a second configuration adapted to accommodate the second user interactive component.

  • Patent number: 10630789
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for providing consistent test versions of an A/B tested web page in an A/B test. For example, one or more embodiments described herein generate an A/B test mapping that associates ranges of identifiers with test versions of an A/B tested web page. Additionally, embodiments described herein generate a web page visitor token based on a random number that corresponds to a single identifier within the mapping. Each time the web page visitor requests the A/B tested web page, systems and methods described herein utilize the visitor token to consistently provide the same test version of the A/B tested web page to the web page visitor.
