  • Patent number: 10284671
    Abstract: Software that maximizes resource usage efficiency for dynamically delivered content by performing the following steps: requesting, by one or more processors on a client computer, HTML data from a server computer, the HTML data pertaining to a first webpage; receiving, by one or more processors on the client computer, the requested HTML data pertaining to the first webpage, the HTML data identifying a plurality of first webpage components associated with the first webpage; determining, by one or more processors, to combine requests for at least two of the plurality of first webpage components into a first bundled component request, where the determining is based, at least in part, on the received HTML data and a set of client computer characteristics pertaining to the client computer; and sending, by one or more processors on the client computer, the first bundled component request to the server computer over an asynchronous data connection.

  • Patent number: 9882959
    Abstract: In an approach to managing requests to a high utilization website, one or more computer processors receive a first resource usage load status from a first server computer. The one or more computer processors receive a request for content on the first server computer from a client. The one or more computer processors determine whether the first resource usage load is above a pre-defined threshold. Responsive to determining the first resource usage load is above the pre-defined threshold, the one or more computer processors create a queue of a plurality of content requesters, wherein the client is one of the plurality of content requesters. The one or more computer processors establish a bidirectional communication channel with the client.

  • Publication number: 20160087978
    Abstract: A method including a computer device receiving a first authentication input from at least one user to start a multi-layered security protocol; the computer device receiving secondary authentication inputs from the at least one user to continue the multi-layered security protocol to determine if a security protocol has been met, wherein the secondary authentication inputs include receiving a first feature input from the at least one user and receiving a second feature from the at least one user; and the computer device determining if the first and secondary authentication inputs pass or fail the multi-layered security protocol.

  • Patent number: 4367772
    Abstract: The nozzle assembly is provided for an air jet loom and includes a guide tube which is displaceable in the direction of the flowing air on the outflow tube of the nozzle. The guide tube allows the gap between the nozzle and the following nozzle or the shed to be adjusted to an optimum value, for example, during a weaving operation. The guide tube allows the weft yarn to be held in the picking line while reducing the tendency of the yarn to be deflected into the surrounding environment.
