Patent number: 8682863Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for saving multiple rows together through an object relational mapping layer to a database. These mechanisms and methods for saving multiple rows together can enable embodiments to detect faults in the save operation(s) and recover. The ability of embodiments to detect faults in the save operation(s) and recover can enable embodiments to provide a robust forgiving published API that saves a set of rows together whenever possible.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2007Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: salesforce.com, Inc.Inventors: Craig Weissman, Steven Tamm, Simon Fell, Simon Wong, Steve Fisher, Scott Hansma

Patent number: 8625578Abstract: An access architecture for real-time communications is described. The architecture includes an inter-architecture network utilizing a single protocol, a plurality of border elements in communication with the inter-architecture network and with an external network, and one or more call control elements in communication with said inter-architecture network. The external network utilizes any of a variety of known networking technologies and protocols. The inter-architecture network utilizes a single protocol such as SIP. The present architecture provides a single common infrastructure for offering real-time communications services independent of call control protocols and networking technologies.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2007Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Radhika R. Roy, Siroos K. Afshar, Marian R. Croak, Enrique G. Cuevas, Alireza Faryar, Steve Fisher, Samuel Glazer, Barbara J. Kittredge, Karen A. McGregor-Barnes, Magda K. Nassar, Larry Arnise Russell

Patent number: 8583688Abstract: A sharing model enables users to easily and conveniently create and share standard and custom database objects, and applications, among users or groups of users. The sharing model includes systems and methods that allow users to conveniently create and customize tabs and tab sets that define relationships between custom objects and fields, standard objects and fields, and applications. A tab visually represents a user interface into an element of an application or into a database object. Selection of a tab provides a user access to the object or element of the application represented by the tab. A tab set is a group of related tabs that work as a unit to provide application functionality. New tabs and tab sets may be defined and tab set views may be customized so that an end user can easily and conveniently switch between the various objects and application elements represented by the displayed tabs and tab set views.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Steve Fisher, Eric David Bezar, Adam Gross, Ian Swinson, George Hu, Yoshiyuki Oikawa

Patent number: 8548952Abstract: Embodiments may recover from faults by forming a new set of rows by removing rows associated with faulting save operations and repeating the saving and forming operations using the new set of rows until a set of rows that can be saved from the known start state without fault is determined. When the subset of successful rows is found, embodiments are able to provide assurance that no side effects (i.e., code or operations triggered by saving of a data to a particular location) have been executed on behalf of any of the failed rows (side effects from custom PL/SOQL code included) by deferring execution of triggers until an entire set of rows can be saved and committed.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2012Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: salesforce.com, Inc.Inventors: Craig Weissman, Steven Tamm, Simon Fell, Simon Wong, Steve Fisher

Publication number: 20130249229Abstract: The present invention provides a capture mechanism for capturing and locking onto the Marman flange located on the exterior surfaces of spacecraft/satellites. The capture mechanism achieves its goal of quickly capturing a target spacecraft by splitting the two basic actions involved into two separate mechanisms. One mechanism performs the quick grasp of the target while the other mechanism rigidises that grasp to ensure that the target is held as firmly as desired. The jaws can be set up to grasp gently, firmly, or even not close completely on the target. Once the jaws have sprung shut, a second mechanism draws the jaws (and their closing mechanism) back into the body of the tool pulling the captured target onto two rigidisation surfaces. The mechanism keeps pulling backwards until a pre-established preload is reached at which point the target is considered suitably rigidised to the capture mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: MACDONALD DETTWILER & ASSOCIATES INC.Inventors: Paul ROBERTS, Jason WHITE, Steve FISHER, Richard REMBALA
