Patent number: 8365150Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to allow partners of analytics providers and others who use web-beacons to submit executable web-beacon plug ins. Analytics providers and others may also write web-beacon plug-ins. Certified plug-ins are executed in response to page loads, visitor clicks, and other visitor and programmatic actions at a website that has been tagged by the analytics provider's web-beacon, without requiring re-tagging of the website with a separate web-beacon for the partner. Web-beacons may invoke core analytics code of an analytics provider, where core analytics code may include multiple plug-ins selected by respective analytics provider partners, where each plug-in may send different analytics data from a website visitor's system to a respective analytics provider partner server. This allows the partner to obtain analytics data by piggybacking on the analytics provider, without re-tagging, and without compromising the availability and accuracy of the analytics data already being gathered.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Catherine Wong, Brett Michael Error

Publication number: 20130019010Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to allow partners of analytics providers and others who use web-beacons to submit web-beacon plug-ins for scrutiny, and for the plug-in to either be refused or else to be certified for use in a core JavaScript file or similar component. Analytics providers and others may also write web-beacon plug-ins. Certified plug-ins are executed in response to page loads, visitor clicks, and other visitor and programmatic actions at a website that has been tagged by the analytics provider's web-beacon, without requiring re-tagging of the website with a separate web-beacon for the partner. This allows the partner to obtain analytics data by piggybacking on the analytics provider, without re-tagging, and without compromising the availability and accuracy of the analytics data already being gathered. To be certified, web-beacon plug-ins must satisfy specific criteria as to their size, behavior, namespace, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Inventors: Catherine Wong, Brett Michael Error

Publication number: 20120234439Abstract: Aluminum-magnesium alloys are ideal for ship construction; however, these alloys can become sensitized and susceptible to intergranular corrosion when exposed to moderately elevated temperatures. A stabilization treatment has been developed to reverse sensitization and restore corrosion resistance, such that in-service plate can be refurbished rather than replaced. This treatment involves a short exposure to a specific elevated temperature range and can be implemented with portable units onboard a ship.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2012Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: CONCURRENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Lawrence S. Kramer, Catherine Wong

Patent number: 7992135Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to allow partners of analytics providers and others who use web-beacons to submit plug-ins for scrutiny, and for the plug-in to either be refused or else to be certified for use in a core JavaScript file, data engine, or similar component. Analytics providers and others may also write plug-ins. Certified plug-ins are executed in response to page loads, visitor clicks, and other visitor and programmatic actions at a website that has been tagged by the analytics provider's web-beacon, without requiring re-tagging of the website with a separate web-beacon for the partner. This allows the partner to obtain analytics data by piggybacking on the analytics provider, without re-tagging, and without compromising the availability and accuracy of the analytics data already being gathered. To be certified, web-beacon plug-ins must satisfy specific criteria as to their privacy protection, size, behavior, namespace, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2007Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Catherine Wong, Brett Michael Error
