  • Publication number: 20230206271
    Abstract: Systems/techniques for facilitating proxy objects for tracking processing of electronic coupon codes are provided. In various embodiments, a system can determine that a browser is performing a checkout on a frontend website. In various aspects, the system can cause the frontend website to instruct the web browser to transmit a validation request to a backend server, wherein the validation request identifies a coupon code and requests that the backend server determine whether the coupon code is applicable to the checkout. In various instances, the system can cause the web browser to append a proxy object to the validation request, wherein the proxy object fetches, during execution of the validation request by the backend server, an execution status of the validation request. In various cases, the system can receive, from the proxy object, the execution status and can initiate one or more electronic actions based on the execution status.

  • Patent number: 9405653
    Abstract: The current application is directed to crosscutting functionalities, including byte-code instrumentation, error logging, and other such crosscutting functionalities. These crosscutting functionalities generally violate, or run counter to, modern code-development strategies and programming-language features that seek to partition logic into hierarchically organized compartments and modules with related functionalities, attribute values, and other common features. In particular, the current application is directed to byte-code instrumentation introduced into a computer program for collecting data, such as execution traces, elapsed times for routine execution, and other information at run time for logging and subsequently manual, semi-automatic, or automatic analysis. The current application is particularly directed to byte-code instrumentation that automatically filters collected data in order to log only data having greatest value for subsequent analysis.

  • Patent number: 9147083
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for processing trace data is provided. The method generates trace data during execution of the target application and obtains criteria for identifying whether a value in the trace data is sensitive. An initial occurrence of a sensitive value in the trace data is identified based on the obtained criteria. The method then stores the sensitive value in a data structure accessible by an obscuring process. The obscuring process receives the trace data and obscures occurrences of the sensitive value in the trace data prior to providing the trace data for display.

  • Patent number: 8997042
    Abstract: The current application is directed to flexible and run-time-modifiable implementation of crosscutting functionalities, including code instrumentation, error logging, and other such crosscutting functionalities. These crosscutting functionalities generally violate, or run counter to, modern code-development strategies and programming-language features that seek to partition logic into hierarchically organized compartments and modules with related functionalities, attribute values, and other common features. One feature of the methods and systems for implementing crosscutting functionalities to which the current application is directed is an intelligent switch that can be controlled, at run time, to alter invocation and behavior of crosscutting-functionality implementations, including data-collection instrumentation, error logging, and other crosscutting-functionality implementations.

  • Patent number: 8745014
    Abstract: A method for storing time series data in a key-value database includes receiving time series data relating to the occurrence of an event. An addressing scheme that defines attributes for inclusion in keys for the event is analyzed. The attributes include time granularity attributes of different sizes. The method generates a key corresponding to the time series data based on the analyzing of the addressing scheme including attributes specified in the addressing scheme that are related to the event and one of the attributes represents one of the plurality of time granularity attributes. The method further issues a command to the key-value database to store a record of the occurrence of the event as a value in the key-value database where stored values in the key-value database corresponding keys may be used to satisfy queries relating to the event over a range of time.

  • Publication number: 20030089777
    Abstract: The invention provides a labeling and content authoring scheme that enables seamless labeling, authoring, and playback of authored content, e.g., audio. In an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus comprises a scanner for acquiring an index value associated with a label, a microphone for recording audio from a user, a speaker for playing pre-recorded audio, and a processor for controlling the recording and playback of audio. The index value identifies an object and is implemented on the label using machine readable code. Memory storage stores the recorded audio for later playback. In operation, the index value is first read from the label. The processor then compares the read index value to one more index values stored in memory, wherein each stored index value is linked to one or more pre-recorded audio clips.

  • Patent number: 4977035
    Abstract: A strip getter structure comprising getter powder pressed into and onto an open reticulated network carrier strip. The getter powder particles form an agglomeration with strength derived both from interlocking of said getter particles and from support of the getter agglomeration by the network. The getter strip structure is manufactured by continuous rolling of getter powder into and onto the network carrier strip by means of a gravity powder feed and a cylindrical rolling mill.
