The method further comprises processing the structured document to generate a model representation of the structured document, executing at least some of the content of the structured document and logging multiple snapshots of the model representation of the structured document as the model representation is generated in response to one or more interactions initiated by execution of the content.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a structured document of a network application, processing the structured document to generate a model representation of the structured document, tracking one or more interactions occurring during the processing of the structured document, the one or more interactions including one or more outgoing requests transmitted by the one or more computing systems or incoming responses received by the one or more computing systems, and generating a behavior model of the web application based on one or more of the interactions.

Abstract: Residual FEXT resulting from intended and/or inherent partial cancellation of crosstalk in vectored DSL systems impairs upstream power back-off (UPBO) as traditionally implemented. By considering and taking into account the effects of residual crosstalk on vectored DSL system performance and operation, improved data rates and/or other vectored DSL system performance are realized through the use of UPBO parameters generated for a given residual FEXT environment.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a shipping container convertible into a display configuration at a point of sale which comprises a display base and a removable cover base. The removable cover base is integrally attached to the display base through two pairs of non-linear zipper perforations lines to form the shipping container convertible into a display configuration. The shipping container convertible into a display configuration comprises opposite side walls each having a length and a top edge and a bottom edge and opposite end walls each having a width and a top edge and a bottom edge. Top major and minor flaps are foldably joined to the top edges of the side walls and end walls, and bottom major and minor flaps are foldably joined to the bottom edges of the side walls and end walls.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a frangible fastener configured such that a first end of the fastener separates from a second end of the fastener responsive to a breaking force. The fastener may comprise a head portion, a frangible portion, a tool engagement portion, a threaded portion, and/or other portions. The frangible portion may include a frangible body. The frangible body may form a plurality of through wall cuts. The frangible portion may be configured such that the breaking force is proportional to a quantity of through wall cuts, a cross sectional area of through wall cuts, and/or a shape of through wall cuts. The frangible portion may be configured such that the breaking force is proportional to a wall thickness of the frangible body. The location of the tool engagement portion may minimize and/or eliminate torsional loading of the frangible portion during tightening with a tightening tool.
