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: At a preparatory step for correction, in a state that a reflective tape made with a retroreflective material is pasted in advance onto a floor surface of a measurement space in a direction away from the distance-measuring device, a distance La to an inside area of the reflective tape, and a distance Lb to an outside area of the reflective tape adjacent to the inside area are measured by the distance-measuring device, while measurement positions Y are being scanned along the reflective tape. A correction formula for converting the distance Lb to the distance La is created from a relationship between the distance La and the distance Lb obtained at each measurement position Y. At an actual measurement step, a distance (actual measurement value x) to the target object measured by the distance-measuring device is corrected in accordance with the correction formula, and a measurement-distance corrected value y is calculated.

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.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and storage media for distributed system security. In an example embodiment, a computer-executable method includes receiving a first item of executable code, calculating a hash of the first item of executable code, and comparing the calculated hash to a database of hashes. Responsive to a determination that the calculated hash does not match any hash in the database of hashes, a first security policy is applied to the first item of executable code. Triggering of the first policy indicates that the first item of executable code should be blocked from execution. If the first item of executable code does not trigger the first security policy, the method includes executing the first item of executable code and intercepting a request initiated by the first item of executable code during execution. In the request matches a second security policy, the request is blocked and/or filtered or sanitized, based on attribute-based access control policies.

Abstract: A method for providing and managing non-direct URL fetching service for retrieving a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, such as for overcoming geo-blocking or a Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack. The non-direct fetching method may use intermediate devices, such as proxy server, Data-Center proxy server, tunnel devices, or any combination thereof. A URL request may be sent in parallel using both direct and non-direct fetching schemes, in order to verify the need for using the non-direct fetching service. Direct or non-direct fetching scheme may be selected by using a file that associates a fetching scheme to the requested URL. The selection of the fetching mechanism may use dynamically in real-time updating of a Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file. As part of an accounting scheme, quotas may be applied to a cumulative received data or a time duration of using a non-direct fetching service.

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.

In one exemplary embodiment, a method by a first network node comprises sending, by the first network node located in a first geographical or jurisdictional region, to a second network node located in a second geographical or jurisdictional region, an indication of an identity verification associated with a certain identity based on personally identifiable information of that identity received by the first network node from the second network node. Further, the identity verification is determined based on whether the PII data of the certain identity corresponds to PII data of at least one of a plurality of identities associated with the first region and stored in one or more databases located in the first region and on identity verification rule(s) associated with the first region.

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.

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.
