Patent number: 11914856Abstract: A method for dynamically spatially visualizing in real time or historically tag localization and sensing data in a User Interface through the combined GUI elements of a Floor Layout view. An indoor map view visually indicates tags as colored dots moving within boundaries of Readers. Localization data from these tags are used to position and move them in a spatially accurate way. Playback controls GUI which allows for pausing or to instantly view historical tag localization and sensing data by dragging the playback control's scrubber backwards in time.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Peytec Inc.Inventors: Peyman Moeini, Akbar Ahmari, Furat Al-Obaidy, Arghavan Asad, Dishan Fernando, Xavier Navajothy Fernando, Sammy Guergachi, Muhammad Jaseemuddin, Xiaofeng Li, Ryan Murari, Farah Mohammadi

Patent number: 11916862Abstract: Techniques for identifying mention identifiers within a message using a mentions processor are discussed herein. In some examples, a communication platform maintains a mentions processor configured to receive a message including a mention identifier, analyze the message to determine a type of the mention identifier included in the message, identify a second user account or a virtual space referenced by the mention identifier, determine whether a notification should be sent to the second user account or the virtual space, and, upon determining that the notification should be sent, send the notification associated with the message to the second user profile or the virtual space. In some examples, an observability class associated with the mentions processor allows the use of a mentions lookup tool to view one or more stored mention identifiers associated with the message and one or more stored notifications enqueued for the message.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Jiang Li, Ashwathi Krishnan, Jacob Tyler Massey, Mia Nelson, Catherine Yesenia Alvarado, Ryan Greenberg

Publication number: 20220298420Abstract: A multifunctional liquid crystalline photoreactive polymer in which at least some of the polymer side-chains have an ultraviolet photoreactive moiety and at least some of the polymer side-chains have a calamitic mesogenic moiety are provided. At least some of the polymer side-chains have a photo-curable moiety a thermal-curable moiety. In some embodiments, the polymer is in the form of a co-polymer. In some embodiments, the polymer is in the form of a ter-polymer. The polymer is used in applications that require stable birefringement films. Such films are produced from the polymer by subjecting the polymer to ultra-violet light to cause side-chain cross-linking thereby inducing anisotropy. The anisotropy is then amplified by exposing the polymer to an elevated temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2021Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Ryan LI, Lu LU, Junren WANG, Mengfei WANG
