Abstract: A computer-implemented method for analyzing data obtained for a chemical and/or biological process comprises: obtaining a result of statistical data analysis on the data obtained with respect to the chemical and/or biological process; calculating, for values of process parameters obtained at groups of time points during batch processes of the chemical and/or biological process, a ratio of a correlation value to a confidence value of the correlation value, the correlation value indicating a correlation between the values of the process parameter and at a process output value; calculating, for process parameters, an average of absolute values of the ratios calculated for the values of the process parameter obtained at different groups of time points during the batch processes; excluding the values of one of the process parameters having a smallest average; and iterating, until at least one specified condition is met.

Abstract: A method for managing a transaction data structure, the method may include (a) receiving, at a first point in time that corresponds to a first value of a clock signal, a request to commit a transaction, and updating a status of the transaction, within the transaction data structure, as being a commit in progress; (b) updating the status of the transaction within the transaction data structure as being committed following (i) a completion of the committing, and (ii) a change of a value of the clock signal from the first value to a second value that differs from the first value; and (c) updating, using a background process, a database segment (DS) version metadata associated with the transaction regarding the completion of the committing. The DS version metadata belongs to a DS version metadata data structure. The DS version metadata data structure and the transaction data structure are selectively accessed during transactions.

Abstract: A method for overcoming intermittent, temporary, or other fetching failures by using multiple attempts for retrieving a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed. The URL fetching may use direct or non-direct fetching schemes, or a combination thereof. The non-direct fetching method may use intermediate devices, such as proxy server, Data-Center proxy server, tunnel devices, or any combination thereof. Upon sensing a failure of a fetching action, the action is repeated using the same or different parameters or attributes, such as by using different intermediate devices, selected based on different parameters or attributes, such as different countries. The repetitions are limited to a pre-defined maximum number or attempts. The fetching attempts may be performed by the client device, by an intermediate device in a non-direct fetching scheme, or a combination thereof. Various fetching schemes may be used sequentially until the content is retrieved.

Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The tunnel device is selected based on an attribute, such as IP Geolocation. A tunnel bank server stores a list of available tunnels that may be used, associated with values of various attribute types. The tunnel devices initiate communication with the tunnel bank server, and stays connected to it, for allowing a communication session initiated by the tunnel bank server. Upon receiving a request from a client to a content and for specific attribute types and values, a tunnel is selected by the tunnel bank server, and is used as a tunnel for retrieving the required content from the web server, using standard protocol such as SOCKS, WebSocket or HTTP Proxy. The client only communicates with a super proxy server that manages the content fetching scheme.

Abstract: A business execution system and business execution method are provided. The business execution system includes memory and processor. The processor executes a detection module and an execution module in the memory. The detection module periodically creates a first task according to a detection and execution rule in the memory, and obtains an action number of the first task. The action number corresponds to a business indicator. The execution module obtains invocation chain information in the detection and execution rule according to the action number, and executes the first task on an electronic device based on the invocation chain information to generate a first execution result. The detection module determines whether the detection module creates a second task according to the detection and execution rule and the first execution result, so that the execution module executes the second task to generate a second execution result, and configures various service arrangements accordingly.

Abstract: A system and method for collecting, evaluating, and transforming animal data as a form of digital currency or collateral to acquire other consideration includes a source of animal data. Biological data sensors gather animal data from a targeted individual that is transmitted electronically. An intermediary server gathers at least a portion of the animal data and associated metadata. The intermediary server generates one or more terms for using the at least a portion of animal data as collateral to enable the targeted individual to secure consideration. Upon acceptance of the one or more terms by the targeted individual, the intermediary server provides consideration based upon the assigned monetary value, at least in part, to another computing device in exchange for the collateral, the collateral including the at least a portion of animal data.

Abstract: A system and method stores a database file into Flash memory or other write-constrained storage.

Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both.

Abstract: A system comprises at least one computer device in communication with one or more server computers. The system converts unstructured text into usable order details, and uses instant messaging to notify recipients of the order details. The notices include electronic web links that launch a web interface that generates an editable, pre-populated electronic order ticket based on the order details. Submission of the electronic order ticket launches an auction during which the recipients may respond with offers to fulfill to the electronic order ticket. If after the auction more than one response is needed to fill the electronic order ticket, the system automatically allocates how and in which order the responses will be used to fill the electronic order ticket. If the electronic order ticket is not completely filled after the auction, the electronic order ticket is submitted to one or more additional exchanges for further filling.
