Patent number: 8515946Abstract: System and methods for directing a federated search using a location description file to locate a data source are provided. For a federated search, a location description may be used to describe the location of each data source searched, and may further be used to connect the user to that particular data source. The format of such a location description file may include several elements, some of which provide information on how to display the file (e.g., name, description, author, icon link, etc.) and other elements (e.g., simple location, location type, etc.) are used to connect the user to the location of the data source.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2008Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Paolo Marcucci, Carlos Brito, Chris McConnell, Evgeny Tvorun, Scott Hysom, Tyler Beam

Patent number: 8229963Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a schema to describe the structure of a data store that may be used to query the data store. The schema may include a property description describing static and contextual attributes of a property of the data store. The schema may also include a property reference describing contextual attributes of a property of the data store, while referencing static attributes from a property description in another schema. In some instances, the schema may further describe item types and/or kinds for the data store.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David Fields, Paolo Marcucci, Carlos Brito, Chris McConnell, Scott Hysom

Patent number: 8117239Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for aggregating schema data from two or more schemas are provided. Embodiments of the present invention include receiving schema definitions for two or more schemas. An aggregated property description for an individual property that is common to the two or more schemas may be created. The aggregated property description includes property attribute values that are the same for the property description in both schemas. Where the attribute values are different, rules may be applied to determine which attribute value to include in the aggregated property description. In one embodiment, the less capable of the two different attribute values is included in the aggregated property description.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2008Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David Fields, Paolo Marcucci, Carlos Brito, Scott Hysom

Publication number: 20110219005Abstract: Methods and computer-readable media are provided for performing a federated search using a library description file to locate multiple data sources. For a federated search, a library description can be used to describe a set of data sources searched, and may further be used to describe how search results should be presented to a user. The format of such a library description file can include multiple elements, some of which provide information on how to display the library and others that define which data sources are included in the library. The library description file can be created according to library description template.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2011Publication date: September 8, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Carlos Brito, Christopher Clayton McConnell, Shannon Scott Hysom, Paolo Marcucci, Tyler Kien Beam

Patent number: 6451919Abstract: Described herein are polyolefins functionalized with maleic anhydrid and at least one high-boiling ester of the latter, and a process for their preparation in high yields, with high degrees of functionalization, without the production of by-products of cross-linking or degradation. The process, which may be carried out either continuously or discontinuously, is characterized by the use of inorganic substances having a specific porosity, grain size, density and humidity, as vehicles of the functionalizing monomers; the presence of maleic ester contributes to enhancing the reaction efficiency. Likewise described herein is a double-screw extruder devised for carrying out the said process, and the use of products obtained as compatibilizing additives in the field of adhesive and reinforcing polymers.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2000Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Belantro International CorporationInventors: Mauro Aglietto, Francesco Ciardelli, Elisa Passaglia, Giacomo Ruggeri, Giampiero Suffredini, Paolo Marcucci, Enzo Mentasti
