  • Patent number: 9823950
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present executes a sequence of a plurality of application programming interfaces. Request objects are generated for the application programming interfaces of the sequence. Each request object is generated in accordance with a common object model. Execution of each application programming interface is enabled in an order of the sequence to process a corresponding request object and generate a corresponding response object containing results. Each response object is generated in accordance with the common object model and includes information from the corresponding request object aggregated with the results. Further, each request object for a succeeding application programming interface in the sequence includes the aggregated information from a response object of a prior executed application programming interface in the sequence.

  • Patent number: 8185610
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for efficiently fulfilling java server page (JSP) requests for dynamic web content, in a computer network system. An asynchronous processing (AP) utility pre-defines a number of custom classes to enable the asynchronous processing of requests. A JSP which contains a custom “async:include” tag indicates an asynchronous request for dynamic content. When a set of asynchronous requests are received by an application server, an “AsyncRequestDispatcher” is called to handle the asynchronous processing of each associated request dispatcher include fragment. For each fragment, a separate request thread is initiated. A placeholder corresponding to each “async:include” request is written to a servlet response buffer. HyperText Markup Language (HTML) content, which includes the placeholders, and a number of javascripts are then written to the client browser. The original thread is closed.

  • Patent number: 5899220
    Abstract: An electromagnetic fluid conditioning (EFC) apparatus and method to control paraffin and/or asphaltene is disclosed. Further, the present invention incorporates the discovery that the electric field must have specific characteristics to achieve the efficiency described herein. The invention disclosed is an apparatus and method for inducing a magnetic field parallel to the flow of fluid in the conduit at surface or downhole conditions and an electrical field orthogonal to the direction of the flow of fluid in the conductor. The magnetic and electrical fields have high magnetic and electric intensity, respectively. A high vibration frequency of the fields is achieved using high frequency AC current or high pulsed DC current. The apparatus and method controls the deposition of paraffin, asphaltene and other susceptible substances.
