Abstract: A host server receives a content request in the form of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) from a client. The URI identifies a first content resource and describes a first service resource to be applied to a representation of the first content resource. The URI is translated into an instruction set. The host server causes execution of the instruction set to apply the first service resource to a representation of the content resource. A processed representation of the first content resource is then provided to the client in response to the request.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating and reusing dynamic web content involve, for example, automatically generating client-side code on a server at run time, and automatically downloading the client-side code to the client side at run time. The client-side code is executed on the client side to become a widget with dynamic behavior attributes displayed as a component of a web page on a display screen of a client-side computing device. Dynamic behavior of the client-side code may triggered via an event handler mechanism wherein properties of the client-side code are dynamically changed without affecting any other content on the web page. The widget may be redisplayed on a subsequent occasion with a change in the widget without regenerating the client-side code.

Abstract: A server computational device maintains commonly occurring duplicate chunks of deduplicated data that have already been stored m a server side repository via one or more client computational devices. The server computational device provides a client computational device with selected elements of the commonly occurring duplicate chunks of deduplicated data, in response to receiving a request by the server computational device from the client computational device to prepopulate, refresh or update a client side deduplication cache maintained in the client computational device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for dynamically adjusting sampling rates for statistical data collection are taught. Records associated with a first task communicating with a second task that are sampled at a first sampling rate are received. At least the first task is associated with a first processing job. A target sampling rate for the first processing job is determined using the records where the target sampling rate is based on a minimum sampling quota and a maximum sampling quota. The target sampling rate is compared to the first sampling rate, and a determination of whether to adjust the first sampling rate to the target sampling rate is based on a result of the comparison. In this manner, tracing of processing jobs, such as those including a plurality of tasks, can be adjusted based on the needs and size of the job and network limitations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for presenting a reminder for a PIM record when there may be an opportunity for personal interaction regarding the PIM record. The opportunity for personal interaction regarding the PIM record may be identified in response to a trigger condition not associated with the PIM record.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for transmitting information from a remote location to a financial decision system. In certain representative transmission methods machine readable content is generated that is adapted to be received by a financial decision system. The machine readable content is transmitted using a first protocol or standard. The transmission of machine readable content is received and converted from the first protocol to a second protocol or standard. The machine readable content is then transmitted using the second protocol. The first protocol can be a non-packet switched serial protocol, such as RS-232. The second protocol can be a packet-switched Internet Protocol (IP), such as for example, User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

Abstract: A system and method detects within an IP network an offending network device that has been adversely affecting the IP network performance. A discovery protocol frame is propagated to successive network switches and is formed as a field having a query for inquiring within each network switch to which the frame is propagated whether the network switch has a database entry regarding the MAC address and switch port for the offending network device to locate the offending network device. This discovery protocol frame includes a command for any network switch that has the offending network device connected thereto to disable the switch port to which the offending network device is connected or block all data traffic from the MAC address of the offending network device.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to selecting a physical layer for an access terminal's (AT's) participation in a communication session. In an embodiment, the AT can register its priorities for multiple physical-layer systems as well as contact information by which an application server can contact the AT over each system. The AT selectively updates the system prioritization and/or contact information. When the AT joins or initiates a communication session, the application server supports the AT on a highest-priority system through which the AT can be contacted. The system supporting the AT's session can change upon request by the AT, the initiative of the application server and/or a detected triggering event. In a further embodiment, multiple systems can be used concurrently to support the AT's session, such that the AT can send and/or receive signaling and/or media for at least a portion of the communication session over the multiple systems concurrently.

Abstract: The invention is embodied in a technique for broadcasting content data from a broadcaster (including a multicaster) to a plurality of clients. After a client receives content data from the broadcaster, a plurality of available proxy servers may be contacted for post-processing after the content data broadcast is determined. The client subsequently randomly selects one of the available proxy servers to contact for post-processing after the content data broadcast. The client may further randomly select a delay time within a contact interval for the selected proxy server, at which time the client contacts the selected proxy server at the delay time to initiate post-processing.

Abstract: The problem of abuse of privileges at cloud-hosted service sites is addressed at the sign-up stage by identifying suspicious or abusive users and preventing them from signing up in the first place. This approach may utilize a relatively small initial data set based on the recognition that while abusers' profiles are mutable and difficult to characterize stably—abusers will deliberately shift their usage patterns to evade detection—a site's legitimate users tend to have similar and stable characteristics; that is, such characteristics are “cohesive” across cloud-hosted service (e.g., social media) sites and their users. The information gleaned from analysis of this small data set can be applied to a much larger, unsorted data set to obtain profiling criteria based on a large population for statistical reliability.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for configurable pacing in messaging systems. In an embodiment of the invention, a configurable message pacing method has been provided. The method includes receiving a message directed for placement in a repository of an intermediate messaging system into which messages are placed by message producing applications and from which messages are retrieved by message consuming applications. Thereafter, it can be determined if the placement of the received message into the repository will result in a breach of an associated threshold value for the repository. Consequently, a message pacing action can be triggered responsive to the determination that the placement of the received message into the repository will result in a breach of the associated threshold value for the repository.
