  • Publication number: 20240069924
    Abstract: A system is provided for automatically generating electronic artifacts using extended functionality. In particular, the system may use a template-based process to automatically generate artifacts based on a defined set of parameters and/or variables. The system may further use one or more plugins which may provide extended functionality with respect to the artifact generation process. Accordingly, the artifact generation process may include initializing a parameter list based on application parameters and/or plugin parameters, processing the parameters, generating variables based on the parameters, and replacing variables in scheme template files with appropriate values (e.g., user supplied or plugin generated values) to output an artifact file to a predetermined location. In this way, the system provides a robust and efficient way to automatically generate artifacts.

  • Patent number: 11038983
    Abstract: A digital content provider is configured to identify, based at least in part on various customer user profiles, digital content that is to be pre-loaded onto one or more customer computing devices in advance of the digital content being available for at least one mode of consumption by the one or more computing devices. The digital content provider may use these user profiles, as well as other external information, to identify one or more customers that are to receive the digital content. Subsequently, the digital content provider may download the digital content onto each identified customer's one or more computing devices in advance of the at least one mode of consumption becoming available to the customers. Once the mode of consumption is made available, the digital content provider may enable the use of the pre-loaded digital content.

  • Patent number: 9555734
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for an above-ground mobile storage tank that can be used in a variety of different commercial applications. In one embodiment, the storage tank may comprise a tank shell, wherein the tank shell further comprises at least one floor wall, at least one top wall, and at least four side walls. The side walls may each be affixed to the floor wall and the top wall to from an interior tank space. Each of the wall panels may comprise a copolymer polypropylene material. The storage tank may also comprise a plurality of steel reinforcements, wherein each reinforcement is configured to encapsulate the tank shell. Each reinforcement may be affixed to a trailer, which is configured to transport the tank shell. The storage tank may also comprise a plurality of slip plates located on the trailer to enable the tank shell to “float” above the trailer.

  • Patent number: 9239858
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for performing concurrent updates on a shared value. A request to update a shared value is stored in a secondary database table, and the update to the shared value is deferred. Application of an aggregation function to delta values stored in the secondary database table may produce an aggregate value that can be applied to the shared value in a consolidated update.

  • Publication number: 20130178676
    Abstract: Methods for producing light olefins are provided. An exemplary method includes providing an oxygenate compound capable of converting to light olefins in a catalytic reaction or to a clean reaction intermediate compound of the catalytic reaction and converting the oxygenate compound to the clean reaction intermediate compound in a chemical reaction. The chemical reaction produces a gas-phase product comprising the clean reaction intermediate compound, unconverted oxygenate, and a reaction byproduct. The method further includes cooling the gas-phase product to condense unconverted oxygenate and reaction byproduct while maintaining the clean reaction intermediate compound in a gas phase and separating the clean reaction intermediate compound, the unconverted oxygenate, and the reaction byproduct into a first stream including the clean reaction intermediate compound and a second stream including the unconverted oxygenate and the reaction byproduct.
