  • Patent number: 11057819
    Abstract: The physical web is an interesting development in networking technology. A beacon may broadcast beacon data and, if desired, a data payload. In various embodiments, a proxy may receive contact from a mobile machine that came into contact with a beacon and received data bringing the mobile machine to the proxy. The proxy may dynamically select a redirection for the mobile machine based on a variety of considerations discussed herein. The proxy may also employ cryptographic and context analysis to the contact from the mobile device to determine if the redirection should happen. And the proxy may review contacts originating from various beacons to determine whether the contacts, or lack thereof, from a beacon suggests the beacon needs to be investigated for failure, error, or tampering with it or its environment.

  • Publication number: 20160124743
    Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for identifying a set of configuration options associated with a plurality of different application stores and using the set of configuration options to generate one or more compatibility suggestions for a web application in a development environment. Additionally, the set of configuration options may be used to generate one or more optimization suggestions for the web application in the development environment, wherein the one or more compatibility suggestions and the one or more optimization suggestions may be specific to a particular application store in the plurality of different application stores. In one example, runtime information associated with web application is identified, wherein the runtime information is used to generate at least one of the one or more optimization suggestions.

  • Patent number: 8264995
    Abstract: A method and system for adjusting a duty cycle to save power in a computing system is described. The system includes a network interface card (NIC) that has an active mode and a sleep mode. The NIC is coupled to an adjusting element that adjusts a duty cycle of the active time to the sleep time based at least in part on minimizing power consumption.

  • Patent number: 7433942
    Abstract: A method for discovering agents operative on devices configured in a network by broadcasting discovery messages having a common format and containing data to the network devices and receiving reply messages having the same common format and containing data from the agents, and permitting new types of data within the messages without changing the common format.

  • Publication number: 20020161883
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a network management system is capable of performing a coordinated discovery operation on devices in a network using a number of discovery and aggregator agents. Data collected and generated by the agents may be coalesced into a database file. New agents may be added to the system as plug-ins by registering an XML file with a network manager.
