Patent number: 11954473Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for a deployment architecture for multi-tenant cloud computing systems. In some implementations, a first cluster of processing nodes is configured to run tenant computing environments on behalf of different tenants. A second cluster of processing nodes runs a deployment controller configured to manage and monitor tenant computing environments allocated for the first cluster of processing nodes. A pool of unassigned computing environments is hosted in the first cluster of processing nodes. After receiving a request for a new environment, the deployment controller running in the second cluster of processing nodes coordinates with one or more modules running in the first cluster of processing nodes to update and assign one of the previously unassigned computing environments to be used.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MicroStrategy IncorporatedInventors: Clayton Myers, Jay Indravadan Shah, Shreyas Shah, Michael David Hudson, Timothy Lang

Patent number: 11941640Abstract: Prioritizing a customer service agent's responses to customer messages. In one form, an expected response time target is determined based on a time interval between sending an agent response and receiving a customer response from a particular customer. In other forms, other objective factors, such as message intervals, customer properties, and message properties, are used to determine the expected response time target. In yet other forms, a customer conversation can be automatically closed if the customer does not respond within a predetermined maximum time interval.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Quiq, Inc.Inventors: Michael A. Myer, Andrew Jenkins

Publication number: 20240094823Abstract: A gesture-based wake process for an AR system is described herein. The AR system places a hand-tracking input pipeline of the AR system in a suspended mode. A camera component of the hand-tracking input pipeline detects a possible visual wake command being made by a user of the AR system. On the basis of detecting the possible visual wake command, the AR system wakes the hand-tracking input pipeline and places the camera component in a fully operational mode. If the AR system, using the hand-tracking input pipeline, verifies the possible visual wake command as an actual wake command, the AR system initiates execution of an AR application.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Daniel Colascione, Matthew Hanover, Sergei Korolev, Michael David Marr, Scott Myers, James Powderly

Patent number: 11528974Abstract: An apparatus for storing collectibles is disclosed. The apparatus is particularly useful for storing collectible packs of cards that are commonly sold as “booster packs” for larger decks.
