  • Patent number: 11347614
    Abstract: A computer system modifies a compiled application to monitor performance. A request routing function of the compiled application is replaced with jump code that directs processing to a data collection function and backing up the request routing function. In response to receiving, during execution of the compiled application, an incoming request from a remote device for handling by the request routing function, the data collection function is executed based on the jump code. Using the data collection function, data associated with the incoming request is collected, the data comprising performance metrics. The backup of the request routing function is called using the data collection function to process the request and provide a response. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for modifying a compiled application to monitor performance in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 11349798
    Abstract: A system and method for multivariate testing of messages to a subgroup in a one-to-many messaging platform. A client text message is generated for transmission to a number of users via one or more messaging services. A subset of users is defined according to one or more attributes of the text message or the users, and the client text message is transmitted only to users in the subgroup. The transmission is analyzed for performance metrics, such as actions or reactions by users in the subgroup, and based on the performance metrics, the message is optimized for transmission to the larger group of users. Optimization happens rapidly.

  • Patent number: 11336742
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media may be configured for improved predictive content caching. A system may determine a value that is a function of one or more rates at which a portion of a content item is being consumed and based on this value, may also calculate a projected position after a predetermined time period. By comparing the projected position to a dynamically adjustable threshold position for requesting a new portion of the content item, a determination may be made as to when to retrieve and/or cache a new portion of the content item.

  • Patent number: 11307787
    Abstract: Technologies for generating manifest data for a sled include a sled to generate manifest data indicative of one or more characteristics of the sled (e.g., hardware resources, firmware resources, a configuration of the sled, or a health of sled components). The sled is also to associate an identifier with the manifest data. The identifier uniquely identifies the sled from other sleds. Additionally, the sled is to send the manifest data and the associated identifier to a server. The sled may also detect a change in the hardware resources, firmware resources, the configuration, or component health of the sled. The sled may also generate an update of the manifest data based on the detected change, where the update specifies the detected change in the hardware resources, firmware resources, the configuration, or component health of the sled. The sled may also send the update of the manifest data to the server.

  • Patent number: 11258814
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for utilizing natural language process (NLP), namely semantic learning approaches, in the realm of network security. Techniques include analyzing network transaction records to form a crafted corpus related to a semantics of network activity. The crafted corpus can be adapted to include sequences of network entities that are deemed most appropriate for analyzing a particular category related to network activity. For example, crafted corpuses can include sequences of servers accessed by each user, in order to identify activity trends in a user's normal activity. A network embeddings model can be trained on the crafted corpus. The network embeddings model includes an embedding space of text that represents interactions between network entities and captures contextual similarities of text, which further measures similarities between the network entities in the embedding space.

  • Patent number: 11245659
    Abstract: A social media system for athletes is disclosed. The system comprises a user interface accessible via an internet-enabled device and which allows a user, such as an athlete, to enter their life story, achievements, and legacy for other users to view and interact with. The system also allows users such as sports agents, coaches, and teachers to connect within the system and communicate with the athletes. The journal system permits a user to track their entire career while also seeking or providing mentorship and guidance for their career. Parents of minor athletes can also use the system to create profiles and enter records for their children, who may then assume control of the profile once they come of age. In this way, the system brings together athletes of all ages and in various stages of their careers to create a supportive networking environment.

  • Patent number: 11212351
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein can relate to a web browser-based application programming interface (API) that can control the authorization of data transmissions within a networked environment. The system enables content items displayed in a web page to make a call to the browser to request that the browser register the content item with the browser. The web browser can control the network transmissions to content items approved or authorized by the web browser. The system can reduce the number of transmissions that do not result in content for the client device—saving bandwidth and computational resources for the client device.

  • Patent number: 11178016
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel method of performing network slice-based operations on a data message at a hardware forwarding element (HFE) in a network. For a received data message flow, the method has the HFE identify a network slice associated with the received data message flow. This network slice in some embodiments is associated with a set of operations to be performed on the data message by several network elements, including one or more machines executing on one or more computers in the network. Once the network slice is identified, the method has the HFE process the data message flow based on a rule that applies to data messages associated with the identified slice.
