Publication number: 20240144269Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains transaction data regarding a user account of an application performing a transaction within the application to access a particular document. The transaction data is captured by instrumentation code inserted into the application at runtime. The device identifies, based on the transaction data, a data mining policy for the transaction. The device generates, based on the data mining policy, identification information associated with the user account and the particular document. The device inserts, via the instrumentation code, tracing data into the particular document that causes a client that opens the particular document to send a web request for a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the identification information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Thomas Szigeti, David John ZACKS, Walter Theodore HULICK, Nagendra Kumar NAINAR, Carlos M.

Patent number: 11924112Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for prioritizing transactions are disclosed. An example method of an application performance monitor (APM) comprises intercepting a first packet being transmitted in a network that is monitored by the APM; determining that the first packet is associated with a transaction of the web application that is to be provided with an alternate level of service; modifying a field in the first packet to include metadata interpretable by at least one network device in the network to cause the at least one network device to provide the alternate level of service; and injecting the first packet into the network. The APM may cause network devices to prioritize a specific transaction of an application based on importance.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: David John Zacks, Thomas Szigeti, Walter T.

Publication number: 20240066051Abstract: Prophylaxis and treatment of patients susceptible to infection by coronaviruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is achieved using compositions including one or more inhibitors including sulfated glycans and/or highly negative charged compounds. The inhibitors bind to wild-type and variant spike glycoproteins (S-proteins or SGPs) of SARS-CoV-2, inhibiting fusion, entry, and infection of a host cell. The inhibitors can include pentosan polysulfate (PPS), mucopolysaccharide polysulfate (MPS), sulfated lactobionic acid, sulodexide, a defibrotide, 4-t-butylcalix[X] arene-p-sulfonic acid, or combinations thereof. The presence of additional sulfo groups in PPS and MPS contribute to the improved inhibitory activity of compositions with those sulfated glycans against COVID-19 compared with compositions containing heparin alone.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteInventors: Robert John LINHARDT, Fuming ZHANG, Jawed FAREED, Walter JESKE
