Abstract: Systems and methods are for performing operational assessment of a facility. An example method includes providing a facility information management server system, which includes a server system processor, a server system communication interface accessible by the server system processor, and a server system memory storing server system executable program instructions accessible by the server system processor. The example method further includes receiving a request from a client device, in which the received request indicates a facility operational assessment is to be conducted in relation to the facility. In response to the received request, the facility information management server system retrieves facility operational assessment data from a facility information repository database relating to the assessed facility. A facility operational assessment result can be determined based on the retrieved facility operational assessment data.

Abstract: A wearable ophthalmic device is disclosed. The device may include a head-mounted light field display configured to generate a physical light field comprising a beam of light. The head-mounted light field display may direct the beam of light into a user's eye, thereby producing a retinal reflex. The device may also include a head-mounted photodetector array configured to receive the retinal reflex and to generate numerical image data. The device may also include a light field processor configured to control the light field display, to analyze the retinal reflex using the numerical image data, and to determine an optical prescription for the user's eye based on the analysis of the retinal reflex.

Abstract: A browser receives a web page that includes a script that is configured to control subsequent requests of the browser for at least the web page and caches a first portion of the web page that includes reference(s) to other web resource(s). A subsequent request for the web page is dispatched to the script which returns the cached first portion of the web page to the browser and a request for the full web page is made. Request(s) are also transmitted for the web resource(s) referenced in the first portion of the web page without waiting for the full web page to be received. When the full web page is received, if the first portion of the page matches the corresponding portion of the full page, that corresponding portion is removed from the full page and the remaining page is returned to the browser.

Abstract: In an approach for a smart reading assistant that helps users learn to read a new language, a processor detects a language of a digital book opening by a user on a computing device. A processor identifies a user reading capability level for the language of the digital book from a user profile for the user. A processor inputs at least one in context meaning of potential unknown words based on the user reading capability level. A processor detects a user action by the user on the computing device. A processor updates the user reading capability level based on the user action. A processor identifies, using collocation extraction, related words to a word involved in the user action. A processor inputs at least one in context meaning of at least one of the related words.

Abstract: A server in a content delivery network (CDN) receives a request for a web page of a domain handled by an origin server. The server retrieves the web page and the web page references a video. The server retrieves a file that indicates a list of locations of the domain in which segments of the video are located. The server fetches at least an initial portion of the segments. The server receives a request for the video. The server transmits to the requester at least the initial portion of the segments. The server receives a subsequent request of a different portion of the segments. The server transmits a response to the requester that instructs the requester to transmit the request for the different portion of segments to a second server in the CDN.

Abstract: A server establishes a secure session with a client device where a private key used in the handshake is stored in a different server. An encrypted connection is established between the first server and the second server. A message is received from the client device that initiates a procedure to establish the secure session between the client device and the first server. As part of this procedure, the first server transmits over the encrypted connection a request to the second server to use the private key. The first server receives, over the encrypted connection, a response to the request that includes a result of the use of the private key. The first server uses the result during the procedure to establish the secure session.
