Patent number: 10055388Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a mechanism is provided for web developers to request specific default behaviors, such as touch behaviors, on their webpages. In at least some implementations, a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) rule is utilized to enable or disable manipulations such as panning, pinch zoom, and double-tap-zoom manipulations. The mechanism can be extensible to accommodate additional default behaviors that are added in the future. In various embodiments, the behaviors are declared up front and thus differ from solutions which employ an imperative model. The declarative nature of this approach allows achievement of full independence from the main thread and deciding the correct response using independent hit testing.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Matthew A. Rakow, Tony E. Schreiner, Bradley J. Litterell, Kevin M. Babbitt, Praveen Kumar Muralidhar Rao, Justin E. Rogers, Sylvain P. Galineau, Arron J. Eicholz

Patent number: 8166516Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to determining effective policy when more than one policy may be associated with an entity. In aspects, bindings associate policies with target groups that may include one or more entities. The bindings are ordered by precedence. When properties of two or more policies affect an entity, properties of policies in higher precedence bindings control (e.g., override) properties of policies in lower precedence bindings. When a property of a policy is not included in other policies that affect an entity, the property is retained. A policy resolver determines disjoint target groups and a resultant policy associated with each disjoint target group. The resultant policy associated with a disjoint target group represents a combination of the original policies according to precedence.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2008Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raymond W McCollum, Khushru M Irani, Sylvain P Galineau, Francois L Cantonnet

Patent number: 7496760Abstract: Under the present invention, a central system in communication with a central directory is provided. The central system also communicates with one or more ancillary systems that each communicate with an ancillary storage unit. User account information is initially stored in the central directory according to unique identifiers. When a triggering event occurs (e.g., when he/she attempts to access an ancillary system, or when he/she is listed as an intended recipient of an electronic mailing message), the user's account information will be located within the central directory according to his/her unique identifier. Upon location, the account information is automatically communicated to the appropriate ancillary storage unit. Thus, the present invention provides “just in-time” synchronization of account information between the central directory and the ancillary storage unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2003Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Banks-Binici, Sylvain P. Galineau, Jonathan J. Hewitt, Joseph T. Wissmann
