Patent number: 10382434Abstract: To make a trusted web service call, a client application sends a series of messages to obtain tokens that allow service requests to pass through a service relay. The user obtains a first security token by providing the user's credentials. A second token is obtained from a trust broker that validates the first token. Both tokens are then sent with a service request to a service relay. The service relay validates the second token and then passes the first token and the service request to a connector service. The connector service validates the first token and passes the service request to a target back end service. The connector service acts as the user when communicating with the back end service. Service responses are routed back to the user through the connector service and the service relay.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kyle Stapley Young, Robert Aron Drollinger, Robert O'Brien, David J. Runde, Jagruti Dushyant Pandya, Georges El Khoury

Patent number: 10066478Abstract: An indicating tool includes a mandrel including a support, an indicator housing surrounding the mandrel, and a member movable radially with respect to the housing. The mandrel is movable longitudinally with respect to the indicator housing, and the indicator housing is at least substantially rotationally locked with respect to the mandrel. The member is engageable with an inner profile of an outer tubular in which the indicating tool is employed, and the member has a substantially helical side. The member is movable radially inward towards the mandrel when the support is longitudinally displaced from the member, and the member is blocked from movement radially inwards when the support is longitudinally aligned with the member.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Zachary S.
