  • Publication number: 20240291909
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems, devices, and computer-implemented methods for providing secure access to a shared registration system of a domain name registry by generating authorization information associated with a domain name, storing the authorization information in an archive, receiving, from a non-registrar service provider, a request for access to functionality of a shared registration system of the domain name registry, where the request is associated with the domain name and includes authorization information, determining whether the received authorization information is valid using the archived authorization information, and allowing the non-registrar service provider access to the functionality of the SRS based on a determination that the second authorization information is valid.

  • Publication number: 20240285310
    Abstract: A surgical device including a cannula having a base member at a proximal end, a sidewall connected to the base member, and a bore defined by the base member and sidewall. The sidewall further has an opening into the bore between axially-extending edges of the sidewall. A configurable guide insert includes a combination track having a circular opening for insertion of a camera device and a slot opening for insertion of a cutting instrument. The configurable guide insert may be permanently or detachably coupled to the base member and is positionable in a right orientation for a procedure in a patient's right side or in a left orientation for a procedure in a patient's left side. The combination track slidably receives a camera device through the circular opening into the bore and slidably receives a surgical implement through the slot opening and into an action area outside the bore.

  • Patent number: 11700223
    Abstract: Asynchronous collaboration via a communication platform is described. A message representative of an asynchronous meeting can be displayed via a user interface of a communication platform. The user interface can include an affordance to enable a user to add a snippet of content to the asynchronous meeting. In response to detecting an actuation of the affordance, an input user interface that includes an option to record or upload the snippet of content can be displayed. The snippet of content can be received from a client of a user associated with the asynchronous meeting and can be associated with other snippet(s) of content added by other user(s) associated with the asynchronous meeting. A preview summary of snippet(s) of content associated with the asynchronous meeting can be displayed in association with the message, wherein each snippet of content is viewable via a thread associated with the message.

  • Publication number: 20230208792
    Abstract: Provided is a group-based communication interface configured to allow members of the interface to communicate within group-based communication channels. The group-based communication interface is configured to relegate selected group-based messaging communications to a separate display pane, where additional messaging communications can be received, thereby maintaining a focused selected group-based communication channel. The selected group-based communication channel is updated to indicate that the selected group-based messaging communications was relegated to a separate display pane, informing the channel members while also allowing the channel members to access the separate display pane if desired. Accordingly, the selected group-based communication interface provides for efficient and focused group-based communications.

  • Patent number: 11537564
    Abstract: A group-based communication interface with subsidiary file communications is described. A request to share a file in a feed of a group-based communication platform can be received, wherein the feed comprises a channel, a thread, or a direct message associated with a group of the group-based communication platform. A representation of the file can be rendered in a user interface presented via client device(s) of user(s) associated with the group, wherein the representation of the file is associated with an engageable link for accessing the file, and wherein a thread summary indicator, representing a thread of message(s) associated with the file, is presented proximate the representation of the file. Based at least in part on receiving an indication of an interaction with the thread summary indicator, the message(s) associated with the thread can be rendered in the user interface proximate the representation of the file.

  • Patent number: 11452538
    Abstract: A surgical device includes a cannula for use in combination with one or more surgical implements. The cannula includes a base member at a proximal end, a sidewall connected to the base member; and a bore defined by the base member and the sidewall. The sidewall further has an opening into the bore between axially-extending edges of the sidewall. The base member includes a combination track including a first section and a second section. The first section is an opening through the base member into the bore and the second section is an opening into an action area outside of the bore and radially between the edges of the sidewall. The combination track is configured to slidably receive a first surgical implement through the first section and into the bore and slidable receive a second surgical implement through the second section and into the action area.
