Patent number: 12231469Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for providing recommendations for sets of security operations for improving security of documents created or executed within an online document system. A supplier entity may select sets of security operations to be performed for a request provided to a signing entity. The online document system computes an aggregate measure of security for the selected sets of security operations and compares it to a threshold measure of security. If the aggregate measure is less than the threshold measure, the online document system uses a machine-learned model to identify additional sets of security operations that when added, results in an updated aggregate measure of security greater than the threshold. The additional sets of security operations are presented to the supplier entity for inclusion within a security operation workflow in combination with the selected sets of security operations.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2023Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Docusign, Inc.Inventors: Darren Hon Kit Louie, Blake Thomas Walsh, Reid B. Maker, Mark Groves, Anunay Kumar, Michael Elliot Brickman, Joshua D. Wise

Publication number: 20240199391Abstract: A device, system and method are used for hoisting and lowering a load. The device has a front plate that may be displaced to reveal a sheave. The device also has a friction accessory. The friction accessory is arranged to create friction between a rope and the device when a load is suspended from the device using the rope and where the device is secured to a support structure. The system may be prepared by an operator, having ascended to an elevated location, and further allows the operator to lower the load from the elevated location prior to descending.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventor: Mark Groves

Patent number: 11573949Abstract: Resolving conflicting changes to structured data files. A method includes for a structured data file which has both a generic structure and dialects built on top of the generic structure, for which conflicting changes have been made, and where an original version of the structured data, a first version of the structured data and a second version of the structured data exist, determining a dialect of the structured data. The method further includes, based on the determined dialect performing at least one of merge or diff operations on the original version of the structured data, the first version of the structured data and the second version of the structured data.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: David Charles Kilian, Louisa Rose Millott, Gareth Alun Jones, Andrew Craig Bragdon, Yu Xiao, Arun Mathew Abraham, Kevin J.
