  • Patent number: 11906375
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods for low-cost, high-volume production of strain gages having substantially uniform gage-to-gage resistances. 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, thereby enabling well-controlled 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 to facilitate handling, automated assembly, and/or 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 enabling their removal in response to specific forces applied by a handling tool.

  • Publication number: 20240054030
    Abstract: A user device executes a partner application including a partner application module. The module acquires a first set of events associated with user actions in the partner application. The module reports a first subset of the first set of events to a remote computing system. The module refrains from reporting a second subset to the remote system based on satisfaction of initial event capping conditions that indicate which events should not be reported to the remote system. The module receives updated event capping conditions from the remote system that are different than the initial conditions, acquires a second set of events, and reports a first subset of the second set to the remote system. The module refrains from reporting a second subset of the second set to the remote system based on satisfaction of the updated conditions. The remote system reports the first subsets to a partner device.

  • Publication number: 20230409803
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230401122
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for evaluating user activities on a website for detecting and alerting anomalies with the website. For example, an alerting system may determine a set of time-windows for each of a set of attribute value(s) and use a set of performance metrics and/or web session events for the time-windows from historical web sessions to detect an anomaly in a current time-window. The alerting system may determine an evaluation range based on weighted performance ranges, and alert a client indicating a performance anomaly if a performance metric at the time of evaluation are out of the evaluation range. Attribute value(s) related to a website issue can be identified based on a correlated to anomalous web session events or to an anomalous time-window.

  • Patent number: 11838350
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for identifying issues related to digital interactions. For example, a detection system may be provided to analyze suspect sessions to determine if one or more stages associated with the suspect sessions are underperforming compared to corresponding stages associated with similar sessions. The detection system may provide a user interface that allows a user to select one or more attributes that may be associated with one or more sessions. Selection of the one or more attributes may identify multiple sessions (referred to as suspect sessions herein). The one or more suspect sessions may be analyzed to determine whether one or more stages associated with the one or more suspect sessions are underperforming compared to corresponding stages associated with one or more other sessions determined to be similar to the one or more suspect sessions.

  • Publication number: 20230297456
    Abstract: A method is provided for monitoring operation of and/or interaction with a website to detect events (“frustration events”). A detection system can monitor a website for the same or unrelated interaction and operation to detect events that affect the performance of a website, while contributing to the frustration of user interaction with the website. The detection system can monitor interaction with and/or operation of one or more documents of a website. Interactions with a website, operations of the website, or a combination thereof, may be assessed with respect to a threshold defining an event. One or more criteria (e.g., a time period) of the event may be assessed for the interactions and operations. Event data may be generated for the event(s) that occur. The event data may be sent to a host system to adjust operation of the website.

  • Publication number: 20230252093
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting a template for efficient generation of dashboards for the template that derive insights into website performance. A client can provide search criteria, and, in response, the client can view and select a template that matches the context in which the client would like insights into the website data. The client can interact with the selected template to populate dashboards for the selected template. An identification of a metric can be detected for a placeholder field for a dashboard, and a specification of event type(s) to be used in populating the metric can be obtained. The dashboard can be loaded in memory, and user session data can be processed to detect events in the user session data. Metrics can be generated in the dashboard using the events in the user session data. The metric in the dashboard can be displayed at the client device.
