Abstract: Convenient sharing of information among authorized network users may be facilitated by allowing a user to send information originating from multiple applications in aggregate form to another user, e.g., using a secure messaging service. In scenarios where data access is restricted, a server may check the recipient's access privileges prior to forwarding the information to her.

Abstract: A method for reducing pollution in exhaust gases and a system for treating exhaust gas are provided. The method includes the step of treating an exhaust gas stream with a treating fluid. In one application, the treating fluid is injected by spraying droplets into the exhaust gas stream. A system for treating exhaust gas includes a reagent, and a nozzle to spray the reagent into the exhaust gas stream.

Abstract: Methods and systems facilitate continuous processing of incoming data while one or more software components are updated and/or are temporarily unavailable. Computing tasks may be divided into idempotent steps with the computational state exchanged between steps saved in a persistent manner. In various embodiments, these steps are assembled into one or more computation pipelines.

Abstract: A user of a client device that executes a remote application is authenticated by first receiving an HTTP or HTTPS request to authenticate the user from the remote application. The user is prompted for authentication information, and authentication information is obtained by communicating with a hardware device in electronic communication with the client device. The user's authorization to use the remote application is then verified using a computer processor and using the authentication information.

Abstract: A method for determining and prolonging hardware life expectancy is provided. The method includes collecting data from a hardware component in a first computational device, creating a quantitative value representing the status of the hardware component, determining a lifetime of the hardware component, and providing an alert to the first computational device based on the determined lifetime of the hardware component. A system configured to perform the above method is also provided. A method for managing a plurality of hardware devices according to a hardware life expectancy includes accessing an application programming interface (API) to obtain status information of a hardware component in a computational device is also provided. The method includes balancing a load for a plurality of redundancy units in a redundancy system and determining a backup frequency for a plurality of backup units in a backup system.

Abstract: User interactions with multiple applications executed on a computational device may be monitored by intercepting messages corresponding to application-level events and recording data associated with the events, including, e.g., contents of application screens presented when the events occurred. The screen contents may be used, based on comparison with task-specific screen-sequence patterns, to link sub-sequences of the events to tasks, facilitating subsequent task-related analysis.
