Abstract: Disclosed techniques provide an image-based process that allows a computing device to obtain content from a content provider. Identification data is obtained from processing image data. Using the obtained identification data and access data, the content is provided to the computing device. The image data and the identification data obtained from processing the image data are linked to the computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for accelerating page rending times. In some embodiments, an intermediary proxy device may be utilized to accelerate page rending times experienced at an application operating at a user device. The intermediary proxy device may perform operations such as obtaining, on behalf of the application, first webpage content and second webpage content for a webpage, the first webpage content being obtained from the web server. In some embodiments, the intermediate proxy device may execute third-party code to obtain the second webpage content from a third party. In some embodiments, the intermediary proxy device may modify the second webpage content obtained from the content server from a first format to a second format the first webpage content and the second webpage content as modified to the application. The application may then perform one or more operations to present data at a display of the user device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a plug retention device consisting of a frame applied between the socket of an electronic device and it's plug. The frame decreases the annular gap present between the plug and socket, thereby improving retention of the plug within the socket and preventing accidental disconnection.
