Patent number: 10176335Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are disclosed for establishing single identity/single-sign on (SSO) on a cloud computing platform. In an embodiment, a user is validated to the cloud computing platform, and identifies a domain. After establishing that the user has control of the domain, the cloud computing platform configures a directory service for the domain. The user may then use the directory service on the cloud computing platform to log in to his or her computer, as well as software services hosted on the cloud computing platform.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2012Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ross Adams, Dean Wells, Clifford N. Didcock, Girish Chander

Publication number: 20070236315Abstract: A solenoid is provided which, in the preferred embodiment, has a housing having an axial opening in it. The housing has a divider mounted in the axial opening to separate the axial opening into a first segment and a second segment. Respective ones of a first pole piece and a second pole piece are located on opposite sides of the divider. The first pole piece is moveable with the first segment between an extended position and a retracted position, the first pole piece having a plunger positioned at an end of the first pole piece. A permanent magnet is moveably mounted from the axial opening and is moveable independently of the second pole piece between at least a first position adjacent to the divider, and a second position adjacent the second pole piece. The construction provides a fast acting, low cost latching solenoid construction.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2007Publication date: October 11, 2007Inventor: Ross Adams

Patent number: 6799144Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for analyzing measurements. The invention provides a method for separating and analyzing the components of a distribution, such as deterministic and random components. The method performs the steps of collecting data from a measurement apparatus, constructing a histogram based on the data such that the histogram defines a distribution, fitting tails regions wherein deterministic and random components and associated statistical confidence levels are estimated.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Wavecrest CorporationInventors: Peng Li, Ross Adam Jessen, Jan Brian Wilstrup, Dennis Petrich

Patent number: 6742307Abstract: The present invention recites a system for forming individual work areas within an open area. The system includes a spine wall extending vertically from a surface of the open area. A first work surface extends along and substantially perpendicular to one side of the spine wall. The first work surface has a length substantially equal to a length of the spine wall. A divider wall is positioned atop the first work surface and releasably connected to the spine wall at any point along the length of the spine wall for forming cubicles of desired size. An extension wall is releasably connected to the dividing wall for extending an area of cubicles formed on either side of the dividing wall.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2002Date of Patent: June 1, 2004Inventor: Ross Adam Cole Briskman

Publication number: 20030150180Abstract: A system for forming individual work areas within an open area. The system includes a spine wall extending vertically from a surface of the open area, a first work surface extends continuously and uninterrupted along one side of the spine wall and having a length substantially equal to a length of the spine wall. The work surface is positioned to extend substantially perpendicular to the spine wall. A continuous data and power raceway are attached to the bottom of the work surface. A divider wall is positioned atop the first work surface and releasably connected to the spine wall at any point along the length thereof for forming cubicles of desired size. A second work surface may be positioned on an opposite side of the spine wall. End walls are positioned on opposite ends of the spine wall and extending perpendicular to the spine wall for providing additional support to the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2002Publication date: August 14, 2003Inventor: Ross Adam Cole Briskman
