Publication number: 20230125449Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for consistent schemaless and scalable database storage are described herein. A data object is generated. The data object corresponds to a column of a table from a database. The data object includes information regarding an order that is placed over a network publication system. The data object is stored in the column of the table in the database. A request to access the data object is received from a device of a first user. The data object is transmitted to the device of the first user. The data is kept coherent during concurrent updates by using optimistic locks. The data is kept backward and forward compatible utilizing intermediate data structures common to both versions of the software. The data is kept searchable by using lookup indexes. The storage system is kept scalable by sharing data across many databases.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Anand Sekar Rengasamy Rajasekar, Srilatha Koneru, Mansi Narula, Senthilnathan Subramanian, Vijayshree Singh, Scott Sharp, Vijay Kumar Sivakumar

Publication number: 20230024967Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to transaction security techniques. In examples, a resource platform causes a set of executable verification instructions associated with an authorization processor to be executed by a user computing device. The verification instructions may be encrypted by the authorization processor for decryption by the user computing device. The verification instructions may generate verification information associated with the user computing device. In some instances, the verification information may be encrypted for decryption by the authorization processor. The encrypted verification instructions may be provided to the authorization processor (e.g., via the resource platform), such that the authorization processor may provide an indication to the resource platform as to whether the verification is verified.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2021Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: eBay Inc.Inventors: Scott Sharp, Alagu Muthuraman, Phanisri Kuchibotla, David Gandhi, Mahendar Madhavan

Patent number: 10195623Abstract: A marker airbrush device for transferring marking solution from a marking device onto a writing surface using air is provided. The airbrush device includes a housing with an air outlet, a dual-action trigger for controlling an amount of air travelling through the air outlet, and a marker positioner coupled to the housing. The dual-action trigger may be either pushed down or pulled back to control air flow through the air outlet. The marker positioner positions a marking device relative to the air outlet such that air traveling through the air outlet contacts at least one surface of the marking device to transfer marking solution onto a writing surface. The marker positioner may include a rotatable collar that couples the marking device within the marker position and creates a seal around the marking device to prevent pressurized air from escaping around the marking device.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Crayola, LLCInventors: Douglas Brand, Adam Scott Sharp, Thomas R. Rau, Adam Sandt, John D. McBride, Jr.

Patent number: 8939672Abstract: A retention, release, and separation device is disclosed. The device includes a clip to secure a component and a capturing sleeve to secure the clip and prevent release of the component. The capturing sleeve can alternately facilitate displacement of the clip to release the component. The device also includes a separation piston that provides a separation force to the component to actively separate the component from the device upon release of the component. Additionally, the device includes a fluid source to provide a fluid pressure sufficient to displace the capturing sleeve and the separation piston, and to generate the separation force.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2012Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignees: Raytheon Company, Systima Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Bruce Johnson, Ross Michael LaCombe, David Scott Sharp, Peter Joseph Golden, Keith Krasnowski
