| 20090006466 | MANAGING EXTENSIBLE VALUE TYPES IN SPREADSHEET CELLS - Individual cells within a spreadsheet may contain an extensible value as defined by an extensible value type. The extensible value type is a third party user defined value type that is incorporated into the spreadsheet as a supported data type. When the extensible value type is defined, an associated set of functions are developed to operate on the type. The spreadsheet manages instances of these extensible values such that they are properly maintained by the spreadsheet application while in use and released from memory when they are no longer in use. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090172063 | Multi-Threaded Codeless User-Defined Functions - A multi-threaded codeless user-defined function (UDF) may be provided. First, at least one input value may be received from a calculation thread corresponding to a spreadsheet calling the codeless UDF. Then, the at least one input value may be saved in a thread storage area outside of a UDF storage area containing the codeless UDF. Next, the codeless UDF may be performed comprising performing at least one calculation using at least one formula in the codeless UDF and the at least one input value from the thread storage area. At least one output value produced in response to performing the codeless UDF may then be returned to the calculation thread corresponding to the spreadsheet calling the codeless UDF. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090235154 | Method, system, and apparatus for providing access to workbook models through remote function calls - A method, system, and apparatus are provided for exposing and calling workbook models via remote function calls. According to the system, a client computer executes a spreadsheet program for creating a workbook model. The workbook model may be published to a server computer along with data defining a function name and the cells that should be used as inputs and outputs to the model. The system also includes a server computer that receives and responds to remote function calls directed toward workbook functions. When a function call is received at the server computer for a workbook function, the server computer populates the cells in the workbook identified as inputs with input parameters received with the function call and recalculates the workbook. The data contained in the output cells is then returned as a reply to the remote function call. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090271693 | ASYNCHRONOUS USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS - A framework for enabling users to create User Defined Functions (UDFs), which can run simultaneously without using multiple calculation threads, is provided. A calculation engine continues a remainder of calculation operations independent of a pending asynchronous function upon starting to run the asynchronous function without waiting to receive a result. The result value is introduced to the computation at a later time during the calculation cycle, when it is received or completed by the calculation engine. When the results are received, downstream operations such as dependent functions are calculated without changing a flow of dependencies within the operations. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20080288487 | Typed Relationships between Items - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to creating, maintaining, and using relationships between items. In aspects, items such as files, folders, and other objects may be stored in a data store. A user may desire to form a relationship between two items that provides additional semantic information regarding the relationship. To do so, an instance of an item reference is created and populated with data that associates the item reference with a source item and optionally a target item. The item reference is part of a type hierarchy and inherits properties from ancestor types. These types are included in a payload of the item reference and may be exposed to programs that seek to obtain information about the relationship indicated by the item reference. An item reference may be added without changing other data about the referenced items. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20110191299 | LOGICAL DATA BACKUP AND ROLLBACK USING INCREMENTAL CAPTURE IN A DISTRIBUTED DATABASE - Architecture that eliminates the need for on-disk full backups of data retaining only changes that have occurred, in a separate table. Thus, the architecture provides for incremental recovery of incremental changes in a relational database (e.g., SQL). The architecture provides improved recovery time and recovery point objectives. By using the incremental capture of changed data (e.g., in an XML format), the capability is provided to capture schema changes, query the incremental change data and efficiently restore user data to an earlier point-in-time state. Changes (e.g., insert, update and delete operations) are tracked (e.g., continuously) by a set of triggers and the incrementally captured changed rows are inserted in a data capture table (a differential change “delta” table) in a human-readable format (e.g., XML). Rollback is also provided. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20150258447 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY INCORPORATING ADVERTISING CONTENT INTO MULTIMEDIA ENVIRONMENTS - Methods and systems for dynamically incorporating advertising content into multimedia environments, such as games, are provided. Example embodiments include a dynamic inserter, which selects content, based upon a set of criteria, to deliver to a receiving client system, such as a game client. The game client typically dynamically determines locations with the game where advertisements may be inserted. Associated with these locations are ad tags that specify criteria for the ads. For example, the criteria may include ad type, ad genre, and scheduling information. The game client then sends indications of these ad tags to the dynamic inserter to be used to select appropriate ads. The dynamic inserter selects ads based upon the criteria and sends them to the game client, which selects them for ad tags with conforming criteria. The game client then renders the selected ad in the appropriate location. In one embodiment, the dynamic inserter comprises a game client, game server, ad server, a communications channel, and, optionally, an ad client. | 09-17-2015 |
