Pattern-based construction and extension of enterprise applications in a cloud computing environment
Patent number: 9535663Abstract: Methods, software programs and systems for extending and modifying software functionality, and, more particularly, for using one or more patterns for an enterprise software object to express desired functionality and configuration, and to generate the enterprise software object using the patterns, in an enterprise environment are disclosed. A method according to certain of these embodiments includes selecting one or more patterns from a number of patterns, where the one or more patterns are for an enterprise software object. The enterprise software object can then be generated. The enterprise software object is generated using the one or more patterns. Each of the patterns is configured to describe a solution within a corresponding one of a number of problem domains.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Rahim Mohamed Yaseen, John Liang, Yunhee Choi, Xiaomei Zhang -
Publication number: 20160171397Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for refining a business process model includes receiving business process data pertaining to a first phase of a business process definition from a first class of users, creating a model of a business process using the business process data received from the first class of users, receiving business process data pertaining to a second phase of the business process definition from a second class of users, and augmenting the model of the business process based on the business process data received from the second class of users. The method further includes iteratively refining the model of the business process in response to input provided by the first class of users and/or the second class of users.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2013Publication date: June 16, 2016Applicant: Siebel Systems, Inc.Inventors: Manoj Das, John Liang, Peter Lim, Emanuel Gerald Noik, Doug Smith, Rahim Yaseen

Patent number: 8827548Abstract: A microfluidic embedded nanoelectromechanical system (NEMs) force sensor provides an electrical readout. The force sensor contains a deformable member that is integrated with a strain sensor. The strain sensor converts a deformation of the deformable member into an electrical signal. A microfluidic channel encapsulates the force sensor, controls a fluidic environment around the force sensor, and improves the read out. In addition, a microfluidic embedded vacuum insulated biocalorimeter is provided. A calorimeter chamber contains a parylene membrane. Both sides of the chamber are under vacuum during measurement of a sample. A microfluidic cannel (built from parylene) is used to deliver a sample to the chamber. A thermopile, used as a thermometer is located between two layers of parylene.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Michael L. Roukes, Chung-Wah Fon, Wonhee Lee, Hongxing Tang, Blake Waters Axelrod, John Liang Tan
