Patent number: 9225803Abstract: The invention described here deals with implementing custom data processing of HTTPS based on a Browser-Plugin Method. Such custom data processing may include, but is not limited to, custom data compression, custom data encryption, data monitoring, data modification. There are two distinct methods to implement the Browser-Plugin Method for Advanced HTTPS Data Processing of the subject invention (BPAHDP). In both cases, BPAHDP provides the option of conducting custom data processing that co-exists with data compression, data encryption, or other types of data processing operations supported by the HTTP standard. Additionally, both BPAHDP methods ensure that the web-browser still implements and executes the underlying SSL/TLS channel setup and encryption operations. In both embodiments of BPAHDP, the most critical functionality is the ability to modify HTTP request/response headers and data sent over a TLS/SSL channel. In the regular HTTP case (HTTP over TCP) headers and data are sent as clear-text (i.e.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2009Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: SLIPSTREAM DATA INC.Inventors: Akshay Nanduri, Ajit Singh, Salmaan Ahmed, David Sze

Publication number: 20150264151Abstract: Meta-data is generated by a client proxy based on previous response data received from a server proxy in response to a previous request for a resource. A client in communication with the client proxy makes a new request for the resource. The client proxy creates a modified request by modifying the new request to include one or more elements of the meta-data, and sends the modified request instead of the new request to the server proxy. The server proxy compares the one or more elements to corresponding one or more elements of meta-data stored in a server proxy cache. If all compared elements match, the server proxy instructs the client proxy to deliver response data stored in a client proxy cache to the client. If any of the compared elements does not match, the server proxy sends new response data to the client proxy for delivery to the client.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2015Publication date: September 17, 2015Applicant: SLIPSTREAM DATA INC.Inventors: Ajit Singh, Salmaan Ahmed

Patent number: 9042671Abstract: A method, system and computer software product for improving rate-distortion performance while remaining faithful to JPEG/MPEG syntax, involving joint optimization of Huffman tables, quantization step sizes and quantized coefficients of a JPEG/MPEG encoder. This involves finding the optimal coefficient indices in the form of (run, size) pairs. By employing an interative process including this search for optimal coefficient indices, joint improvement of run-length coding, Huffman coding and quantization table selection may be achieved. Additionally, the compression of quantized DC coefficients may also be improved using a trellis-structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: SlipStream Data Inc.Inventors: En-hui Yang, Longji Wang

Patent number: 8503807Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are provided for progressively encoding a digitized color image using a data processing system, the digitized color image being provided by assigning each of the M distinct colors to at least one pixel in the set of pixels. This involves initializing and growing the tree structure by selecting a leaf node n to become a non-leaf node n linked to two new leaf nodes based on an associated achievable cost, wherein the associated achievable cost is based on 1) a determined associated change in distortion resulting from turning the leaf node into the non-leaf node linked to the two new leaf nodes; and 2) a determined associated increase in entropy rate resulting from turning the leaf node into the non-leaf node linked to the two new leaf nodes.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2012Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Slipstream Data Inc.Inventors: En-hui Yang, Longji Wang
