  • Publication number: 20230124545
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for verifying content provided for display within a webview and interactions with such content. Methods can include providing, within a webview executing in a portion of an application launched on a client device, a first content page including a digital component and detecting, by a script executing within the webview, a set of interaction signals. After detection of the set of interaction signals, the signals can be transferred from the webview, via a communication bridge, to a software library that is resident within the native layer. The software library transmits the set of interaction signals to a first content provider, which can determine whether the interaction signals indicate interactions by an actual human user as opposed to automated interactions. The software library then launches a second content page that is linked to by the digital component.

  • Publication number: 20220392682
    Abstract: A method of designing a magnetic shield comprising a structure enclosing a space, the structure comprising passive magnetic shielding material and a winding configured to produce a specified magnetic within the structure when current is passed through the winding, is disclosed. The method comprises determining an optimised configuration of the winding accounting for the presence of the passive magnetic shield material by implementing one or more boundary conditions at the surface of the passive magnetic shielding material.
