Patent number: 11314485Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that generate and assist in managing templates (pre-generated user-customizable automated workflows) that can be used to easily and efficiently develop automated workflows in an automated workflow development system. A plurality of workflows steps in a library of workflow steps is determined. One or more workflow templates are automatically generated. Each automatically generated workflow template includes a combination of at least two of the workflow steps in the library. The one or more workflow templates are stored in a library of templates. Furthermore, one or more workflow steps compatible with a workflow step may be determined. The determined one or more workflow steps may be displayed in association with the first workflow step for selection.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Prabir Shrestha, Kartik Rao Polepalli, Ashwin Sathya Raghunathan, Stephen Siciliano, Anjli Chaudhry, Charles Lamanna, Merwan Vishnu Hade, Sunay Vaishnav

Patent number: 11210068Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that generate and assist in managing templates (pre-generated user-customizable automated workflows) that can be used to easily and efficiently develop automated workflows in an automated workflow development system. An automated workflow template for publication that includes parameters is received. At least a portion of the parameters included in the automated workflow template are automatically anonymized to generate an anonymized automated workflow template. The anonymized automated workflow template is published.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Prabir Shrestha, Kartik Rao Polepalli, Ashwin Sathya Raghunathan, Stephen Siciliano, Anjli Chaudhry, Charles Lamanna, Merwan Vishnu Hade, Sunay Vaishnav

Patent number: 10956128Abstract: A workflow development system is described herein that embeds a workflow designer user interface of a workflow development application into a user interface of another software application, so that the workflow designer user interface can be used to generate workflows that reference and/or interact with the other software application. In some aspects, the workflow development application obtains information indicative of a context of a user within the other software application and recommends workflow templates or workflow steps for selection by a user based on the obtained information. The workflow development application may also pre-populate certain parameters of certain workflow steps based on the obtained information.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Anjli Chaudhry, Stephen Siciliano, Ashwin Sathya Raghunathan, Kartik Rao Polepalli, Merwan Vishnu Hade, Prabir K.

Patent number: 10839106Abstract: Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for creating workflow instances. Workflow templates define different functionalities, such as, for example, between fixed and variable functionality or between functionality authored by different co-authors. Different functionalities defined in a workflow template can be configured to interoperate to provide workflow instances. Functionality defined within a workflow template can be instantiated in a workflow instance based on properties corresponding to the functionality. The properties can include connections with credentials for accessing resources used by the functionality. Connections can obscure access to credentials so that processes outside of a workflow instance cannot use the credentials to access resources.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sunay Vaishnav, Charles William Lamanna, Kartik Rao Polepalli, Stephen Christopher Siciliano

Patent number: 9611558Abstract: A method of producing metallic powder comprises steps of arranging a volume of feedstock comprising a plurality of non-metallic particles within an electrolysis cell, causing a molten salt to flow through the volume of feedstock, and applying a potential between a cathode and an anode such that the feedstock is reduced to metal. In preferred embodiments the feedstock is a plurality of discrete powder particles and these particles are reduced to a corresponding plurality of discrete metallic particles. In advantageous embodiments, the feedstock may be sand.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2012Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: METALYSIS LIMITEDInventors: Kartik Rao, James Deane, Lucy Grainger, John Clifford, Melchiorre Conti, James Collins

Publication number: 20140324725Abstract: In an example embodiment, location information is received from a plurality of mobile devices operated by on-duty valets. An online order for local delivery of an item to a consumer is received. A current location of the consumer is determined. A store having a least transit time from the current location of the consumer that has the item in stock is determined. Then, a valet having a least transit time to the determined store is determined. A job may be assigned to the valet having the least transit time to the determined store.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2013Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: EBAY INC.Inventors: K.

Publication number: 20140325343Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for processing web page data. In overview, these make use of a downloadable API thereby to allow client-side processing of web page data (for example HTML data) in a manner that facilitates efficient generation of a web page, with the capability to execute scripts (such as scripts relating to advertising content) following the generation of a complete Document Object Model (DOM). In overview, placeholders are defined during the generation of the DOM, these serving as containers for results of post-content execution of scripts. In terms of such post-content execution, scripts may be executed in a variety of manners, including immediately following completion of the DOM, at specified times (for example periodic execution thereby to refresh the content of a placeholder at defined intervals), or based on observed conditions (for example enabling execution of scripts in response to their placeholder being on-screen, or in anticipation of that placeholder being on-screen).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2012Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventor: Kartik Rao
