  • Patent number: 12070123
    Abstract: A tabletop for a table that can rotate between a use position and a stowed position. The table may include at least one rotation mechanism. The rotation mechanism may comprise: a housing pivotally connected to a cross-bar, an activation rod connected to a deadbolt and a hook plate and a grip bar connected to the activation rod. When the table is in a use position, the hook plate engages an opening in the primary cross-bar, where the use position is defined as when the tabletop is oriented substantially parallel to a surface supporting the table, and when the table is in a stowed position, the deadbolt receives an engaging member that is connected to the primary cross-bar, where the stowed position is defined as when the tabletop is oriented substantially perpendicular to the surface supporting the table.

  • Publication number: 20240106902
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a client application at a client device can receive, from a browser application at the client device, a first message including a unique identifier associated with a session of the browser application at a website associated with a content management system. The client application can extract the unique identifier from the first message, and establish a connection between the client application and the content management system by sending, from the client application to the content management system, a second message including the unique identifier. The client application can then receive, from the content management system through the connection, a third message relayed by the content management system from the website, where the third message is associated with the unique identifier.

  • Patent number: 11922942
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for generating response templates for natural language processing. In various examples, a first knowledge graph comprising a plurality of entities may be received. First text data may be received for a first response template, the first text data defining a natural language input configured to invoke the first response template. A response definition may be received for the first response template, the response definition defining a response associated with the first response template. Natural language input data may be received. A determination may be made that the natural language input data corresponds to the natural language input configured to invoke the first response template. The first response template may be configured to generate natural language output data.

  • Publication number: 20240045882
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing content across discrete systems. A content management system can be implemented to manage content items and synchronize content items across devices. A content collaboration system can be implemented to generate documents and facilitate collaboration on documents. To take advantage of the content management system's functionality to manage and synchronize content items while also providing the collaboration functionality of the content collaboration system, the content management system can store and manage references to documents created in the content collaboration system. The document references can be managed by the content management system such that the document references appear to users as if the document references were the referenced document in the collaboration system.

  • Patent number: 11593314
    Abstract: An example method can include storing, on a CSM, a first content item and representations of second and third content items, the second content item having content/features enabled by a cloud service and designed for access through a native online application and the third content item having content/features supported by a local application and having additional features designed for access through a cloud service and native online application; when the first content item is invoked, presenting the content/features of the first content item; in response to a request to access the representation of the second or third content item, sending, to a cloud service, a request for the additional features of the third content item or the content/features of the second content item; and based on metadata received from a cloud service, providing the additional features/content of the third content item or the content/features of the second content item.

  • Patent number: 11290531
    Abstract: The present technology addresses a scenario when a user attempts to create a cloud content item using a file system interface on a client device. The present technology can immediately create a content item that is representative of a cloud content item once the user requests a cloud content item to be created. The content item that is representative of the cloud content item can be created even before the cloud content item itself is created. After the cloud content item is created, the present technology provides a mechanism to relate the content item that this representative of the cloud content item with the actual cloud content item.

  • Patent number: 11194766
    Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating cloud-based and cloud-backed content items with a content management system are provided. In some examples, a method can include receiving a request to open a content item using a client application at a first client device; detecting that the content item is open at a second client device from a different client application that supports live collaboration; and directing the first client device to an instance of the different client application at the first client device.

  • Patent number: 11194767
    Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating cloud-based and cloud-backed content items with a content management system (CSM) are provided. In some examples, a method can include storing a content item in a shared folder on a CSM, the content item representing a cloud-backed or cloud-based content item associated with a cloud content provider; receiving a request to access the content item in the shared folder; in response to the request, determining, based on permissions configured at the CSM, whether a user account has permissions allowing the user account to access the shared folder or the content item; based on a determination that the user account has permissions, granting the user account access to the content item and providing to the user account a content and features of the content item, the features being supported by the cloud content provider and provisioned at least partly through the cloud content provider.
