Patent number: 11023615Abstract: Hosted services provided by service provider tenants to their users are an increasingly common software usage model. The usage of such services and handling of data may be subject to regulatory, legal, and industry-based rules, where different rules may be applicable depending on the particular service, handled data, and organization type, for example. Embodiments are directed to providing intelligence and analysis driven security and compliance suggestions for hosted services to reduce the burden on tenant administrators to determine and implement applicable policies and rules. Claims are directed to determination of a suggestion based on an analysis of a tenant's service environment, presentation of the suggestion along with analysis results and a prompt to confirm implementation of the suggestion, and upon receiving confirmation, presentation of an option to customize the suggestion by modifying settings suggested based on analysis results.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Karissa C. Larson, Churli Su, Wenjie Liang, Binyan Chen, Ben Appleby, Anupama Janardhan, Ning Xu

Patent number: 10726372Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a user interface that enables an administrator to monitor the status of one or more long-running processes executing on a system. According to one or more embodiments, information about the long-running processes is received, analyzed and converted into a single format. This information is then stored in a storage device in the single format. In response to a command request periodically received from a user interface, summary information about the one or more long-running processes is provided to, and displayed on, the user interface. Upon receipt of a user selection of at least a portion of the summary information, the user interface issues a second command request that is similar to the first command request, but includes additional parameters, to retrieve additional information about the selected summary information. Once the additional information is received, the additional information is presented on the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sanjay Ramaswamy, Jimin Jia, Qi Ren, Wenjie Liang, Michael Forney, Michael Butler

Publication number: 20100155698Abstract: The present invention relates generally to sub-microelectronic circuitry, and more particularly to nanometer-scale articles, including nanoscale wires which can be selectively doped at various locations and at various levels. In some cases, the articles may be single crystals. The nanoscale wires can be doped, for example, differentially along their length, or radially, and either in terms of identity of dopant, concentration of dopant, or both. This may be used to provide both n-type and p-type conductivity in a single item, or in different items in close proximity to each other, such as in a crossbar array. The fabrication and growth of such articles is described, and the arrangement of such articles to fabricate electronic, optoelectronic, or spintronic devices and components.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2009Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: Charles M.
