    Abstract: Systems for curating and presenting relevant collaboration activity to newly-added users in a cloud-based content management platform. A method embodiment commences by observing and recording user events that correspond to interactions between any number of users and any number of content objects. When a new person who does not have an event history is added, his/her user profile is updated to indicate he/she is a new user, and a start-up proxy user is identified. The proxy user refers to either a real user that is in some way similar to the newly-added user, or the proxy user is a virtual user as amalgamated from previously recorded user history records. The events in the history records of the proxy user are associated with the newly-added user. When the newly-added user interacts with a user interface of the cloud-based content management platform, feed entries are generated and presented to the newly-added user.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an approach to implement a new layer of security within mobile devices using an encryption SDK, which implements a standalone component for applications to encrypt, decrypt, and view sensitive data on the device. A security layer is implemented on the device, wherein the security layer manages encryption for data retrieved onto the device from a cloud-based environment. Encrypted content is then generated at the security layer before storing the encrypted content by receiving the content object from the cloud-based environment and encrypting the content object with an encryption key that is password protected. The encrypted content is stored within an encrypted filesystem for presenting the content on the device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for computing system security. Techniques for classifying a potentially unauthorized user as an authorized user involve comparisons of two or more access request times that occur at different computing devices in different geographical locations. Based on those comparisons and the distance between the geographical locations of the different computing devices, a determination is made as to whether or not travel (e.g., via overland travel, via air travel, etc.) between those different geographical locations can be reasonably accomplished within a given time period. If it is determined that the required time for travel between the different geographical locations is greater than the time between the access request times—thus suggesting a spoofing attack or other malfeasance—then the potentially unauthorized (i.e., only potentially malfeasant) access can still be deemed as an authorizable access request by analyzing browser configurations and activity patterns of the potentially unauthorized user.

    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for managing content objects in a content management system. A metadata template is assigned to a content object of the content management system. Extensible metadata pertaining to the content object is allocated in accordance with the assigned metadata template. Various operations over the content object result in population of the allocated extensible metadata. When the content object is subjected to a workflow, the execution flow and/or the form of responses associated with execution of the workflow are informed by the populated extensible metadata. A single content object can take on an association with multiple sets of extensible metadata and each set of extensible metadata can take on association with a respective workflow.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and mechanism to implement a communication channel between a web application and a locally running application on a computing system. A local communications server is employed to pass messages between the web application and a local application using a local comm server. The local comm server communicates with the local application over a named pipe that is dedicated to a specific web session and/or application.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying users of a collaboration system as search results. In one embodiment, the system performs a text-based content search of content items to identify relevant content. The disclosed system stores metadata associated with the content that includes various user information. The user information can be used to facilitate identification of relevant individuals (users or collaborators) as search results, in addition to or in lieu of, relevant content.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for capture, recording, and regeneration of subtle energy resonance signals are described herein. A system for capturing and recording the signals may include an antenna array disposed within an electromagnetic shield, a signal processor, and a memory coupled to at least one processor. The antenna array may include at least one antenna comprising a conductive disk and an amplifier circuit board, the antenna array detecting and receiving subtle energy resonance signals from a source. The signal processor converts the analog signals into digital signals, which are then stored into the memory. The electromagnetic shield houses the antenna array and minimizes electromagnetic interference with the received signal. Such a controlled environment ensures the purity of the recorded subtle energy resonance signals for regeneration. Regeneration is accomplished with a second antenna coupled to a digital regeneration device for short-range broadcasting, affecting manifestations of subtle energy resonance in a subject.
