  • Patent number: 10416990
    Abstract: Methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable media involves receiving information of a new library from a patch management repository. A symbolic link to the new shared library is created and a request to an application process to replace a shared library is communicated. To replace the shared library, the application process periodically checks reference state of the shared library till it reaches a free-state. When the shared library reaches the free-state, the application process unloads the shared library from memory space and loads the new shared library to the memory space. The application process continues performing one or more pre-define functions during the replacement of the shared library.

  • Patent number: 10416992
    Abstract: Techniques to update a web application are described. A method includes receiving an application update request for a requested web application from a service worker web application executing in a web browser on a client device, the application update request comprising a cached version indicator for a local cached copy of the requested web application on the client device; determining whether an updated requested web application is available based on the cached version indicator. When the cached version indicator is less than a current version indicator, an archived copy of the previous version of the requested web application indicated by the cached version indicator and a current copy of the current version of the requested web application are retrieved, and a delta update is generated based on the archived copy and current copy. The delta update is sent to the service worker web application. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
