Abstract: Embodiments are directed to tiered data store with persistent layers. A write tier in the file system for storing in a file system. A value for a performance metric that corresponds to write requests to the file system may be predicted based on characteristics of the write requests such that the performance metric may be determined based on a plurality of interactions with the write tier. The predicted value that exceeds a threshold value of the performance metric may be employed to cause performance of further actions, including: queuing a portion of the write requests in a memory buffer based on the predicted value and the threshold value; combining the queued portion of the write requests into s; storing the data segments in the write tier such that a measured value of the performance metric may be less than the threshold value.

Abstract: Systems and methods balance communication loads across computer networks. In particular, the systems and methods balance the communication loads across computer networks in instances of computer communication tasks that have variable transmission confirmations and network delivery locations. Additionally or alternatively, the systems and methods balance communication loads across computer networks for computer communication tasks based on real-time confirmation of network resource availability.

Abstract: A method for the reduction of liquefaction potential within soil of a stratum located a distance deep below a foundation of a structure through the injection of a two-part polyurethane liquid forming a polymer foam.

Abstract: An auxiliary electrode includes a conductive layer having a first major surface in an X-Y plane, the conductive layer is electrically conductive and has a first surface area. The auxiliary electrode includes a first carrier ion supply layer and a second carrier ion supply layer, each carrier ion supply layer comprising a material that supplies carrier ions for an electrode of the secondary battery. The first carrier ion supply layer covers a first region of the first major surface of the conductive layer and the second carrier ion supply layer covers a second region of the first major surface of the conductive layer. The first and second regions are separated by a third region, the third region configured to be folded such that the first region and the second region are substantially parallel, and the third region is substantially perpendicular to the first and second regions in the folded configuration.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprises an analytic server for aggregating and displaying all the electronic requests on one merchant device. The analytic server receives a plurality of electronic messages corresponding to a plurality of electronic requests from a plurality of service provider computers. The analytic server executes an extraction protocol to extract the order data within each electronic messages and stores the extracted data into a database. The analytic server generates a machine-readable file for each merchant comprising all the order records for the same merchant received from different third-party service provider computers. The analytic server transmits the machine-readable file to the merchant computing device, which populates a GUI according to the machine-readable file. Because all the orders are in one spot, the merchant may manage the orders, perform statistical calculations, and generate sales reports more efficiently.

Abstract: A material that includes a polymer foam and at least one polar dopant molecule included in the polymer foam, wherein the material is a piezoelectric.

Abstract: The method and system disclosed herein allow users to make an online query prompting a search bot to communicate with other bots in a bot directory for retrieving suitable content presented to the users. Each bot in the bot directory may retrieve bot content from a bot resources repository, but may also crawl web servers in order to look for supplementary bot content. Similarly, the search bot may analyze the search result and (if the search result is not suitable) retrieve supplementary bot content from bots found in external sources or web crawl in order to supplement the search result with additional information.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an integrated communications system application (ICSA) employed in conjunction with a suitable chat application (executed by a bot) for delivering an automated customer service support for businesses. ICSA herein may include an information storage system, a communication platform, and a facility system mutually sharing information and registering said information in web servers. A bot, connected to ICSA via web servers, may interact with a user employing channels such as chat applications, and may connect to said user via a bot connector. A user may not need to download any additional application to interact with bot herein and receive an automated customer service for different types of businesses.

Abstract: The current disclosure describes a preselected information sharing application (PISA) system configured to generate a virtual queue dataset for a facility using data received from different users via a facility customer application (FCA) on devices of the users. The system further includes a facility management application (FMA) on devices within the facility configured to generate an interactive hyperlink associated to the facility and request the users within the virtual queue dataset to share the interactive hyperlink on social media platforms associated to the users. The FMA then monitors the activation of the interactive hyperlink by other users, and accordingly updates the virtual queue dataset to include other users and notify all users in the virtual queue dataset regarding the updated virtual queue dataset in real-time.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a limited intangible goods transaction system (LIGTS) that provides options to users to buy, sell, bid, and swap limited intangible goods and/or services, such as a position in a queue in a facility, a reservation for the facility, a ticket to an event, and the like, with other users interested in the same goods and/or services using a variety of computer-specific interfaces. LIGTS may employ an application server configured to receive a request from a first user to either sell, bid, or swap their position in the queue for the facility and notifying other users in the queue or interested to join the queue that the first user is interested to sell and/or swap his/her position within the queue. The application server may also update the queue dataset based on any changes in the positions of the users in the queue.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the sending of items between users of an online service are disclosed. A request to transfer an item and location identifiers of a first and/or second user are received at a server. Instructions for transferring the item to a dispatcher are transmitted from the server. A code is received at the server from the dispatcher to notify the service that the item has been received and the server transmits location data to the dispatcher to enable the dispatcher to transfer the item to the second user. Alternatively, a code can be provided to the first user who will provide the code to a second user or the first user provides an email address of the second user and the server sends an email to the second user. The first and second users each provide location identifiers to enable a transfer service to transfer the item.
