Publication number: 20240004899Abstract: A workflow executed by a local platform of the content management system can include a remote workflow and a local workflow relating to local content retained in a local repository managed by the local platform of the content management system. A synchronization can be initiated between the local content and a remote copy of the local content to reflect a change to either of the local content or the remote copy in the other of the local content and the remote copy. The remote copy can exist at a location managed by a remote platform of the content management system. Upon detection that the remote workflow has been completed by the location using the remote copy, a resumption of the local workflow can be triggered using the synchronization between the local content and the remote copy of the local content. Related systems, methods, products, etc. are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Paul Holmes-Higgin, Frederik Heremans, Tijs Rademakers, Joram Barrez

Patent number: 11727035Abstract: A workflow executed by an on-premise installation of the content management system can include a cloud workflow and an on-premise workflow relating to on-premise content retained in an on-premise repository managed by the on-premise installation of the content management system. A synchronization can be initiated between the on-premise content and a cloud copy of the on-premise content to reflect a change to either of the on-premise content or the cloud copy in the other of the on-premise content and the cloud copy. The cloud copy can exist at a location managed by a cloud-based installation of the content management system. Upon detection that the cloud workflow has been completed by the location using the cloud copy, a resumption of the on-premise workflow can be triggered using the synchronization between the on-premise content and the cloud copy of the on-premise content. Related systems, methods, products, etc. are described.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Hyland UK Operations LimitedInventors: Paul Holmes-Higgin, Frederik Heremans, Tijs Rademakers, Joram Barrez

Publication number: 20210209129Abstract: Content maintained in a first repository of a first installation (which can optionally be an on-premise installation) of a content management system, as well as metadata associated with the content, can be shared via an approach in which content items maintained in the first repository are synchronized with a copy of the content items maintained in a second repository of a second installation (which can optionally be a cloud-based installation). The first installation can be optionally firewall protected. The copy of the content items can be accessed by collaborative users both within and external to a firewall. Related systems, methods, products, etc. are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2021Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventors: Neil Mc Erlean, Tuna Aksoy, Nick Burch, Michael Farman, Paul Holmes-Higgin, John Newton, Brian Remmington, Mark Rogers, Jan Vonka, David Webster

Patent number: 10476971Abstract: Configurable and self-optimizing business process applications can be used in conjunction with features of a content management system, for example including generating and providing guidance relating to a decision or action point within a workflow instance, allowing a user to invoke an exception that includes a deviation from a set of actions defined by the business process application, saving a modified version of the business process application in the content management repository, and monitoring performance metrics of the business process application and the modified business process application when used by additional users in additional workflow instances. Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are described.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Alfresco Software, Inc.Inventors: Paul Holmes-Higgin, David Caruana

Patent number: 9962704Abstract: A specimen collection container includes inner and outer tubes. The inner tube includes a bottom end, a top end, and a sidewall extending therebetween defining an interior. The sidewall includes an inner surface and an outer surface having at least one annular protrusion extending therefrom. The inner tube includes at least one funnel portion adjacent the top end for directing a specimen into the inner tube interior, and an annular ring disposed about a portion of the outer surface of the sidewall adjacent the top end. The outer tube includes a bottom end, a top end, and a sidewall extending therebetween, the sidewall having an outer surface and an inner surface defining an annular recess adapted to receive a portion of the annular protrusion therein. The inner tube is disposed within the outer tube and a portion of the top end of the outer tube abuts the annular ring.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Benjamin R.

Patent number: 9948604Abstract: Hybrid, configurable business process applications can be used in conjunction with features of a content management system. For example, a first content management system installation executes a workflow instance based on a business process application whose definition is maintained in by the first content management system installation and synchronizes a workflow state of the workflow instance to a second content management system installation using a mirrored workflow state in which both content of the workflow state and metadata characterizing parameters of the workflow state are mirrored from the first content management system repository to the second content management system repository such that a content item retained in the second content management system repository is accessed for use in the workflow instance via the mirrored workflow state at the second content management system repository. Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are described.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Alfresco Software, Inc.Inventors: David Caruana, Paul Holmes-Higgin
