Publication number: 20200278884Abstract: An example embodiment may involve receiving, by a web server device, a message containing a plurality of asynchronous requests for web content, where the plurality is received from a client device that was provided with a web document from which the web content is at least in part derivable. The example embodiment may also involve sorting, by the web server device, the plurality into an ordering based on respective estimated execution times of the plurality, where the ordering is from least to greatest estimated execution time. The example embodiment may also involve processing, by the web server device, the plurality as ordered until either a predetermined amount of time measured from the beginning of the processing has expired, or all requests of the plurality have been processed. The example embodiment may also involve transmitting, by the web server device and to the client device, results associated with the processed requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2020Publication date: September 3, 2020Inventors: Christopher Tucker, Kyle Barron-Kraus

Publication number: 20200250073Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for debug session management. For example, methods may include receiving a request from a client device and, in response, identifying a set of instructions to be executed, wherein the set of instructions is associated with at least one breakpoint. The methods may include initiating execution of the set of instructions. The methods may include determining, based on a marker, that pausing execution of the set of instructions using a data structure is permitted, and responsive to this determination: pausing execution of the set of instructions before executing an instruction associated with a breakpoint, and updating the marker to indicate that execution of the set of instructions has paused using the data structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2020Publication date: August 6, 2020Inventors: Christopher Tucker, Qian Zhang, Carl David Solis

Publication number: 20200226140Abstract: A system including a data center hosting a representational state transfer (REST) server in communication with a client network, wherein the REST server includes a GraphQL schema describing tables and fields of a communicatively coupled database. The REST server is configured to: receive a request that includes a GraphQL query; open a streaming connection to the client network; and output a beginning of a response via the streaming connection. The REST server is also configured to process the GraphQL query based on the GraphQL schema to generate a GraphQL result, and to output the GraphQL result in a body of the response via the streaming connection. The REST server is further configured to output an end of the response via the streaming connection, such that the response is correctly formatted in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2020Publication date: July 16, 2020Inventors: David Tamjidi, Christopher Tucker, Carmine Mangione-Tran

Patent number: 10683945Abstract: A flow regulator for a compressed natural gas (CNG) system is defined by a housing having at least one inlet port, at least one outlet port and at least one interior passage fluidically interconnecting the inlet and outlet ports. A mechanical bypass valve is disposed between the inlet and outlet ports and enabled by a movable biased feature which moves based on inlet pressure and in which the bypass valve is closed only after inlet pressure is greater than a predetermined threshold. The bypass valve is a fail safe wherein gas regulation does not occur until the inlet pressure is sufficient to close the bypass valve. The flow regulator further includes a coolant bowl defined by a serpentine channel formed in a coolant plate as well as a balanced valve as a regulator control feature in conjunction with a weighting or loading mechanism having a diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: ITT Manufacturing Enterprises LLCInventors: Darrell T.

Patent number: 10599752Abstract: A web browser application executing on a computing device receives, in response to a request for a web page, (i) a set of declarative markup data that defines a hierarchical arrangement of components of the web page and (ii) a set of scripts that defines structure and operation of the components. The declarative markup data and scripts cooperatively define data bindings between components of the page. Further the scripts can be changed from time to time, so that when the web browser application subsequently requests the same web page, the web browser application may receive in response the same declarative markup data but a different set of scripts that still supports the same data bindings between the components of the page.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: ServiceNow, Inc.Inventors: Andreas Kirn, Darren Michael Richards, Jason Strimpel, Christopher Tucker

Publication number: 20200068026Abstract: A user interface is configured to present a stream of activities that arise from operation of two or more heterogeneous applications that access shared content objects of a content management system. A first application of a first type among the heterogeneous applications interoperates with a second application of a second type. Application activity records that correspond to interactions by the second application over the shared content objects are stored. Additional interactions that are raised by the first application and that pertain to a common content object are also stored. When a user requests access to a content object of the content management system, recent application activity records are selected. Some of the selected activity records are filtered out based on permissions attributes corresponding to the content object and/or based on permissions attributes corresponding to the requesting user. An application activity stream is generated based on the selected application activity records.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Applicant: Box, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Wayne Morkovine, Michelle Sangeun Oh, Faizan N.

Publication number: 20200065343Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for shared content management systems. In a content management system that supports multiple applications that operate on shared documents, multiple modules are operatively interconnected to make and present activity-based application recommendations. Techniques for making activity-based application recommendations include recording a series of interaction events from multiple users, which events correspond to a series of interactions performed by a plurality of applications over a shared content object. Constituent interaction events from the series of interactions are analyzed to determine a set of recommended applications. The set of recommended applications is presented to a user in a dynamically-populated user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Applicant: Box, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Wayne Morkovine, Michelle Sangeun Oh, Faizan N.
