  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ON-LINE SALE OF GOODS AND SERVICES USING INFLUENCER HOSTING SITES
    Publication number: 20150120414
    Abstract: A method is provided for on-line retail sales by a merchant through referrals from people who have influence over customer buying decisions, such as doctors in the case of food products, and who has an internet web site. The method involves each influencer including a sub-site of the influencer's website which permits a customer to select products for purchase. The products which are available are selected by the influencer from those available in the merchant's product list. Once the customer selects products for purchase the customer is transferred to the merchant's e-commerce site for ordering, payment and delivery. The merchant rewards the influencer for purchases of the merchant's products made through the influencer's web site.

  • Systems and methods for delivering messages over a network
    Patent number: 9015225
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for delivering messages from one or more service hosts to clients via a network. A first request identifying the client is received at the message server, and a connection is established and maintained between the message server and the client in response to the first request. When a subsequent request that identifies the client is received from the service host, a message is transmitted from the message server to the client over the previously-established connection. The methods and techniques may be used, for example, to provide messages from various services to placeshifting devices or other clients communicating via the network.

  • Virtual snapshot system and method
    Patent number: 9009431
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a method and system for creating, replicating, and providing access to virtual snapshots of a disk storage block of a disk storage system or subsystem. In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a virtual snapshot accessible to local users of a local data storage device. The virtual snapshot may direct local users to a snapshot stored on computer-readable storage medium at a remote data storage site, but give the appearance as if data of the corresponding snapshot is stored locally. The virtual snapshot is replaced by replication of the snapshot from the remote data storage site to the local data storage device. Each snapshot may relate to data of a logical data volume, the logical data volume being an abstraction of data blocks from one or more physical storage devices.

  • PORT EMPTY TRANSITION SCHEDULING
    Publication number: 20150085861
    Abstract: Aspects of port empty transition scheduling are described herein. In one embodiment, when one or more cells are added to a queue in a network communications device, an enqueue indicator is generated. The enqueue indicator identifies a number of cells added to the queue. With reference to the enqueue indicator, a queue scheduler maintains a count of cells enqueued for communication and issues a port pick credit for a port of the network communications device. A port scheduler schedules a pick for communicating over the port with reference to the port pick credit and forwards the pick to the queue scheduler. In turn, the queue scheduler forwards a queue pick to the queue, and at least one of the cells is forwarded to dequeue logic. According to aspects of the embodiments described herein, empty port scheduling inefficiencies may be avoided and network throughput increased.

  • PROVIDING OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF PIPELINE BANDWIDTH
    Publication number: 20150063367
    Abstract: A system for providing oversubscription of pipeline bandwidth comprises a steer module, an absorption buffer, an ingress packet processor (IPP), a memory management unit (MMU), and a main packet buffer. The steer module receives packets that include start of packet (SOP), middle of packet (MOP), and end of packet (EOP) cells, attaches a packet identifier to the cells, passes the MOP and EOP cells to the MMU, and stores the SOP cells and EOP metadata in the absorption buffer. The IPP processes the SOP cells and EOP metadata and passes the same to the MMU. The MMU stores the MOP, EOP, and processed SOP cells in the main packet buffer, combines, upon receiving the processed EOP metadata of each packet, the processed SOP cell, the MOP cells and the EOP cell of each packet to reconstruct each packet, and queues each reconstructed packet in an egress port queue.
