Abstract: Techniques can capture, store, and regenerate a view of content in applications (e.g., native applications) on devices (e.g., a mobile device). A capture management system can produce compact data storage of views of content in an application on a device and the efficient search thereof of views of content provided in the application. The views of content can be translated into a transportable data layer, such as HTML, and captured using delta encoding to identify changes and modifications in content accessed in any application at a device. A capture management system can accurately and efficiently capture events displayed for an application at a device and send the events to a server-side system, which can combine the events to reassemble the events. A user interface and user interaction events on an application at a mobile device can be reassembled for the purpose of playback and analysis of interactions with the application.

Abstract: Strain gages in accordance with the present disclosure are sculpted from a device layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator wafer using deep reactive ion etching, yielding very good control over the electrical properties and physical dimensions of the strain gages. In some embodiments, groups of fully fabricated strain gages are physically connected to handling frames via sprues, which eases handling, enables automated assembly, and facilitates tracing of individual gages from the beginning of fabrication through final packaging. In some embodiments, sprues are configured to mitigate accidental separation of the gages from their frames while simultaneously easing their removal in response to specific forces applied by a handling tool.

The at least one protective lip only extends at the lower rim of the at least lens from the at least one nosepiece towards at least one of the outer lateral rims of the lens and, in extension of the lens, downwards from the lower rim of the lens to be supported on the user's cheek.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for determining an impact of slow performing webpages on a website. For example, a detection system may be provided to determine timing distributions for webpages by analyzing timing measurements for different timing metrics. The detection system may determine ranges of the timing distributions for slow and fast group of users of the website. The detection system may analyze user interactions of slow and fast group of users on the website. The detection system may further determine impacts of poor performing webpages on the website's performance based on the analysis of the user interactions on the webpages. The detection system may classify the impacts the webpages of the website and display the classifications to a website provider for identifying network operation(s) contributing to poor performance of the webpages.

Abstract: A method includes receiving first event data from a device, the first event data including a first identifier (ID) that identifies the device, web browser metadata, and data associated with an application state. The method includes generating a first persona including the first ID and a first event identifier that identifies a first user action. The method includes receiving second event data, the second event data including device metadata and a second ID that identifies the device.

Abstract: Systems may perform analyses of claims included in a patent document. The systems may generate one or more search strings from the patent document and provide the one or more search strings to a third-party searching authority. The third-party searching authority may return a collection of documents responsive to the one or more search strings. In particular situations, the systems may re-rank the documents of the collection to provide a patent centric ranking. The systems may also analyze the documents of the collection with respect to the elements of the claims to generate various types of patent infringement and/or invalidity reports.
