Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for embedding a secondary application object within a loader application are described herein. In some embodiments, a computing platform may initiate a first iOS application comprising a first name and a first instance of UIApplication comprising an NSObject class. Further, the computing platform may embed into the first iOS application, a second iOS application comprising a second name, a second instance of UIApplication, and a first derived class. Next, the computing platform may generate, based on NSObject and the first derived class, a second derived class. Additionally, the computing platform may generate an iPhone Application (IPA) file comprising the first iOS application wherein the first iOS application comprises the second derived class and the second name. Subsequently, the computing platform may distribute via a communication interface, the IPA file.

Abstract: A pavement marking tape has raised, irregular polygonal relief features with retroreflective elements covering a portion of the surface of the tape. The form of the relief features minimizes shadowing effects. Raised relief features are shaped to increase the visible number of vertical faces and edges of the relief features, which are the most reflective structures, and are oriented toward incident light from an approaching observer to maximize retroreflectivity.

Abstract: A modular locker system can include a locker base, a locker tower, and a modular locker. The modular locker system allows different sized modular lockers to be interchanged to achieve a number of modular locker configurations. The contents of the modular lockers can be accessed by inputting a code to unlock a door included in the modular locker.

Abstract: A method of monitoring the level of performance of a software application running on a network-attached computing device, comprises monitoring information exchange at least one station on the network; measuring at least two performance indicator metrics, such as delay, jitter, loss, response time, throughput, goodput, and object size; and deriving an indicator parameter from a non-linear combination of the indicator metrics. A transformation may be applied to each indicator metric to obtaining a corresponding derived value, and the derived values then additively combined, to obtain the said indicator parameter. The transformation has a first region in which the derived value depends relatively weakly on the corresponding metric, and a second region, in which the derived value depends relatively strongly on the corresponding metric. A score value may be entered by a user, indicative of the user's perception of the performance of the software application, and compared with the derived indicator parameter.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a high rise modular structure having a truss structure. The truss structure has four corner columns wherein the columns carrying the load of the building. The columns are adapted to have lifting arms for assembling the structure and plugs for snap fitting the modular units into one another. Once assembled, the modular units are tied to one another using a steel plate/blind rivet system. The modular structure is also capable of having an advanced weather protecting system for when the modular structure is on-site and not yet assembled.

Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic methods for predicting the effectiveness of treatment of a cancer patient with an IGF-1R kinase inhibitor. Methods are provided for predicting the sensitivity of tumor cell growth to inhibition by an IGF-1R kinase inhibitor, comprising assessing whether the tumor cell expresses certain sensitivity or resistance biomarkers, or genomic classifiers. Improved methods for treating cancer patients with IGF-1R kinase inhibitors that incorporate this methodology are also provided.

Abstract: A cache apparatus for a network receives and responds to network file-services-protocol requests from client workstations coupled to the network. The cache apparatus includes a digital memory for storing data transmitted in responding to the network requests. A processing unit executes program instructions. A network interface couples the cache apparatus to the network. The interface includes program instructions, executed by the processing unit, for receiving the requests and transmitting responses thereto. A file-request-service module includes program instructions, executed by the processing unit, for interpreting the requests and generating responses thereto. The network interface transmits file-request-generation module requests to network.

Abstract: A control server, or similar central processor, manages the distribution of data (including audio and video), voice, and control signals among a plurality of devices connected via a wired and/or wireless communications network. The devices include audio/visual devices (such as, televisions, monitors, PDAs, notepads, notebooks, MP3, portable stereo, etc.) as well as household appliances (such as, lighting, ovens, alarm clocks, etc.). The control server supports video/audio serving, telephony, messaging, file sharing, internetworking, and security. A portable controller allows a user to access and control the network devices from any location within a controlled residential and/or non-residential environment, including its surrounding areas. The controllers are enhanced to support location-awareness and user-awareness functionality.

The file-request-service module also checks the memory for the presence of an image of data specified by the request. When the data is present, the file-request-service module retrieves the data for inclusion in the response.
