Inventor(s): Shruti Shruti of Redwood City CA (US) for salesforce, inc., Julie Haynes of Seattle WA (US) for salesforce, inc., Samuel Kang of San Francisco CA (US) for salesforce, inc.
IPC Code(s): G06F3/14, H04N23/62
CPC Code(s): G06F3/1454
Abstract: media, methods, and systems are provided for screen sharing. a user may initiate a video recording. a recording preview interface may be displayed for the user to preview the video recording before beginning the recording. the recording preview interface may comprise a live video preview of the user and of a window or application being shared. when the user selects a window or application for previewing that may cause an infinity mirror effect to occur, a screenshot of the window or application may be generated. the screenshot may be rendered over the live video preview of the window or application to obscure the infinity mirror effect. when the user initiates recording, the screenshot may be removed to expose the live video. the screenshot may be cached and retrieved if the user navigates away and then returns to the preview of the window or application causing the infinity mirror effect.

IPC Code(s): G06F8/65
CPC Code(s): G06F8/65
Abstract: techniques are disclosed pertaining to performing upgrades by upgrade controllers. a node upgrade controller determines to upgrade a first set of nodes, of a plurality of nodes, on which executes a first set of pods that facilitate access to an instance of a particular component. the node upgrade controller obtains a lock on the plurality of nodes to prevent a pod upgrade controller from upgrading a second set of pods that execute on a second set of the plurality of nodes and facilitate access to another instance of the particular component. the unavailability of the first and second sets of pods causes a requisite number of instances of the particular component to be unavailable. the node upgrade controller upgrades the first set of nodes and releases the lock to allow the pod upgrade controller to obtain a lock on the plurality of nodes.

IPC Code(s): G06F16/2455, G06F16/25, G06F16/28
CPC Code(s): G06F16/24554
Abstract: a database with virtual partitioning. a computer system used to implement the database receives a request for a database operation to be performed on data stored in a portion of the database, where the data has a group of logical partitions (e.g., tenants of a multi-tenant database), and where the portion of the database is not further physically partitioned. the computer system identifies a virtual partitioning scheme for the database operation, the virtual partitioning scheme defining sub-groups of the group of logical partitions. the computer system then performs the database operation for the sub-groups defined by the virtual partitioning scheme. multiple virtual partitioning schemes can be active at the same time, and virtual partitioning schemes can be created dynamically in some instances.

CPC Code(s): G06F16/248
Abstract: a computer system receives, from a programmatic interface of a client device via one or more external api calls, a query that specifies a data source and one or more data fields of the data source. the computer system, in accordance with receiving the query, generates a query specification according to the one or more data fields of the data source, wherein the query specification is an extended version of the api calls. the computer system transmits the query specification to a data service and causes the data service to execute one or more database queries to retrieve data against a database to retrieve query results from the data source, according to the query specification. the computer system receives the query results from the data service, configures the query results to obtain configured data, and transmits the configured data to the client device for display in the programmatic interface.

IPC Code(s): G06N3/006, G06N3/0455
CPC Code(s): G06N3/006
Abstract: embodiments described herein provide a framework that integrates a retriever model and the llm to feed retrieved passages to an llm to generate an answer conditioned on the retrieved passages in response to a query. for example, in one embodiment, a single-round approach is implemented, which involves directly transmitting the retrieved passages to the llm. for another example, a multi-round methodology is implemented, which involves initially presenting the retrieved passages to the language model, collecting its responses, and then adjusting our interaction with the language model based on this acquired feedback.
