Abstract:

A group-based communication platform is configured to ascertain the relatedness of various work objects shared among users of the group-based communication platform. Moreover, the group-based communication platform may further receive and process work objects originating from non-users of the group-based communication platform, thereby further expanding the utility of the determined relatedness between work objects. These work objects (or encrypted representations of these work objects) may be indexed and stored in association with the group-based communication platform, thereby enabling users to search for and retrieve work objects originating from a plurality of work object sources simultaneously, and based on various characteristics of those work objects and the determined interrelatedness between various work objects.

International Classification:

H04L 9/40

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to verifying a third-party resource by automatically validating multi-factor message codes associated with the third-party resource to enable access to functionality associated with the third-party resource via a multi-app communication system. An example embodiment includes a multi-app communication system including at least one processor and at least one memory. The embodiment multi-app communication system is configured to receive a sign-in request from a multi-app communication system application executed on a client device, and cause transmission of a multi-factor confirmation message to a verified third-party multi-factor authentication resource. The embodiment multi-app communication system is further configured query the verified third-party multi-factor authentication resource to identify the multi-factor confirmation message, and enable access to the third-party resource.

Abstract:

Method of removing a valve cap threadedly engaged with a valve body includes inserting at least one coupling rod from a cap adapter through a valve cap attachment hole to couple the structures, coupling an output drive of a torque multiplier with the adapter, and exerting an input torque on the torque multiplier to rotate the adapter and valve cap, the input torque exerted on the torque multiplier being increased by the torque multiplier.
