Patent number: 11132354Abstract: Embodiments regard maintaining data consistency between transactional and non-transactional data stores. Embodiments may include receiving a request to archive a set of data stored in a first data store, recording a high water mark in the first data store for the set of data, and archiving the set of data. Archiving the set of data may include copying the set of data into a second data store and inserting a high water mark for the set of data in the first data store and the second data store. Embodiments may further include updating a reference high water mark upon successful completion of operations for the archiving of the data, the reference high water mark representing completion of a last successful archive operation, and, upon receiving a query for requested data contained in the first or second data store, determining whether to allow viewing of the requested data based at least in part on a current value of the reference high water mark.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventor: Seth John White

Patent number: 11079556Abstract: A connector including two connector portions each including a ferrule and a latch, each latch including a distal end, and a proximal end, wherein the latch is pivotable about an intermediate connection portion; and a boot mounted to the connector portions, the boot movable longitudinally relative to the connector portions, wherein the boot causes the distal ends of the latch to pivot toward the ferrule of each connector portion as the boot is moved away from the connector portions. Front housings of the connector portions can each be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the ferrule without rotating the ferrule or the boot, to change the polarity of the two connector portions. The spacing between the two ferrules is adjustable. A holder holds the connector portions, the holder including side slots, the connector portions mounted to the holder by moving laterally to the side slots. The holder defines an area for receipt of a fiber optic cable when the ferrule is pushed in a direction toward the boot.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignees: CommScope Connectivity UK Limited, CommScope Telecommunications (Shanghai) Co.

Publication number: 20210092933Abstract: The present invention relates to new methods of selecting and breeding organisms, in particular organisms which exhibit symbiotic behaviour with symbionts, and to new organisms and symbiota developed thereby, such as plant or grass and endophyte symbiota. Multiple symbionts are deployed in multiple organsims and selected for improved symbiotic compatibility and performance early in the breeding process. Methods include producing improved organisms from germplasm, by inoculating host organism germplasm libraries with symbionts seleced from symbiont libraries and selecting improved host organisms exhibiting desired symbiota characteristics, and selection of organism-symbiont associations with a desired genetic and metabolic profile by metagenomic analysis of nucleic acid libraries from an organism or organism-symbiont.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: Agriculture Victoria Services PTY LTDInventors: German Carlos Spangenberg, John White Forster, Noel Cogan, Yidong Ran, John Gregory Mason, Timothy Ivor Sawbridge, Ben Hayes, Matthew James Hayden, Kathryn Michaela Guthridge, Simone Jane Rochfort, Ben Cocks, Hans Dieter Daetwyler
