Abstract: Implementations include a batch-optimized render and fetch architecture. An example method performed by the architecture includes receiving a request from a batch process to render a web page and initializing a virtual clock and a task list for rendering the web page. The virtual clock stands still when a request for an embedded item is outstanding and when a task is ready to run. The method may also include generating a rendering result for the web page when the virtual clock matches a run time for a stop task in the task list, and providing the rendering result to the batch process. Another example method includes receiving a request from a batch process to render a web page, identifying an embedded item in the web page, and determining, based on a rewrite rule, that the embedded item has content that is duplicative of content for a previously fetched embedded item.

Abstract: Provided is a process of extracting structured chain-store data from chain-store websites, the process including: identifying, via a processor, a store-locator webpage from a store website; querying the store-locator webpage for store locations in a geographic area; detecting a repeating pattern in a document object model (DOM) of a responsive webpage returned by the store website, the repeating pattern containing location information for stores in the geographic area; extracting, from the repeating pattern, location information for the stores in the geographic area; and storing the location information in a business listing repository.

Abstract: The present invention relates to transferring files between browsers and other browsers or peer-to-peer (P2P) clients. In an embodiment, a system for transferring files includes a first browser and a second browser. The system may have a first client coupled to the first browser and a second client coupled to the second browser. The system may have a relay server coupled to the first and second clients configured to receive data from the first client, send the data to the second client, and send an acknowledgement to the first client upon completion.
