Abstract: Tools and techniques for routing users to receive online services based on online behavior are provided. These tools may receive representations of activity involving different users in interacting with online services, and may analyze these representations of user activity. The tools may also compute scores for the users based on this previous user activity. The scores may indicate a server system, out of several server systems, which the user is to be routed to obtain online services. The tools may also store the user's score as associated with the user.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a callback interface for web accessible services is provided. A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or similar address is issued by a host associated service to the user. User's browser provides the URL to an activity service, which on the user's behalf contacts the host service indicated by the URL and supporting the callback interface. The activity service then facilitates the user's requests on documents maintained by the host service through stateless calls to the host service providing web accessible services such as document manipulation, image processing, and similar ones.

Abstract: Architecture for emphasizing changes in collaborative or shared documents. A user can now quickly see what content was changed (hence, unread content) since the last time the user viewed the document or page. A tool automatically tracks and annotates the new content and author of the content for collaboration users. The architecture provides author highlighting on a page or document, which is turned on automatically when the user goes to the page or document. Widgets are displayed in association with the unread content that indicate which user authored all or portions of new unread content. Synchronization of the content update document content so that other users can readily see what is new and the author. A master file is created that stores the emphasis information and associated author information. The file can be stored at any location that is accessibly by the collaborative clients.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a secure process on a web server can include creating an application manager process, and creating an application host process, the application host process being created under control of the application manager process. Example methods can also include restricting attributes of the application host process, and assigning a unique logon identifier to the application host process so that the application host process can only communicate with the application manager process.

Abstract: An In Orbit Transportation & Recovery System (IOSTAR™) (10) is disclosed. One preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a space tug powered by a nuclear reactor (19). The IOSTAR™ includes a collapsible boom (11) connected at one end to a propellant tank (13) which stores fuel for an electric propulsion system (12). This end of the boom (11) is equipped with docking hardware (14) that is able to grasp and hold a satellite (15) and as a means to refill the tank (13). Radiator panels (16) mounted on the boom (11) dissipate heat from the reactor (19). A radiation shield (20) is situated next to the reactor (19) to protect the satellite payload (15) at the far end of the boom (11). The IOSTAR™ (10) will be capable of accomplishing rendezvous and docking maneuvers which will enable it to move spacecraft between a low Earth parking orbit and positions in higher orbits or to other locations in our Solar System.

Abstract: A method of preparing a solids-pack for use in oilfield completion operations involves staged pumping using two distinct types of carrier fluid with distinct solids loadings during the solids deposition process. The method can be employed in packing of non-vertical oilfield wellbores for formation stabilization, fracture stabilization and/or sand control, particularly around sand exclusion devices. In preferred embodiments the method results in greater uniformity of packing, and also offers the advantage of much more rapid deposition and therefore of completion of the pack phase, reducing overall rig time.

Abstract: In a float glass process, traction of an attenuating device on the glass ribbon is enhanced by a member buoyantly engaging the underside of the ribbon.

Abstract: Heat-sealable laminates useful as packaging materials, for example, for the packaging of photographic processing chemicals, are comprised of a metal foil, a thermoplastic polymeric film, and an interlayer formed by radiation curing of a composition comprising an acrylated epoxy resin. The laminates are manufactured by a process which comprises forming a sandwich comprising a layer of metal foil, a layer of thermoplastic polymer and an interlayer formed from a composition comprising an acrylated epoxy resin and irradiating the interlayer through the layer of thermoplastic polymer, for example by the use of ultraviolet radiation or high energy ionizing radiation, to cure the interlayer and bond it to both the layer of metal foil and the layer of thermoplastic polymer.
