Patent number: 10805282Abstract: A notification system automatically sends notifications to users based on the defined roles of the notifications. The notification system allows an application to define in a secure manner users to roles. The notification system also allows the users to register in a secure manner their devices with the notification system. The notification system allows the application to then send a notification to users with a target role. Upon receiving the notification, the notification system identifies the devices of the users with the target role and sends the notification to those devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Brian Raymond Allrich, Michael Steven Hammond, Yury Mikheev, Kevin Martin Racer

Patent number: 10379818Abstract: Customizations, made at various levels in the customization channel, are saved as separate sets of customization deltas that are applied to a base computing system in order to generate a given solution. In a multi-tenant environment, groups of tenants access different solutions or customization deltas. The tenants are automatically grouped, based upon the solution or customization deltas that they access, and the deltas for those customizations are applied to the base system at runtime, for each group.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2018Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Morten Jensen, Thomas Hejlsberg, Michael Steven Hammond, Christopher Michael Rudolph, Kevin Martin Racer

Patent number: 6517237Abstract: An energy meter which measures a volume of gas supplied, which measures a calorific value of the gas supplied, and which calculates an energy value corresponding to the measured volume of gas supplied and the calorific value. The structure to measure the volume of the gas supplied and to calculate the energy value may be provided in a single unit. The structure to measure the calorific value of the gas supplied preferably includes a structure to measure the speed of sound in the gas and further preferably measures a first thermal conductivity of the gas at a first temperature and measures a second thermal conductivity of the gas at a second temperature which differs from the first temperature, and is arranged to produce the calorific value of the gas corresponding to the measured speed of sound in the first and second thermal conductivities.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2001Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Lattice Intellectual Property LimitedInventors: Paul Steven Hammond, Robert Richard Thurston, Barry Leonard Price
