  • Publication number: 20240185200
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manages the allocation of values to application programming interface (API) requests by an end user. In one example, a monitoring service can determine at least one usage value associated with a user of an API provider based on conditional statements for the user and API usage information associated with the user. The monitoring service can further format the at least one usage value for the user based on a billing service for the user and communicate the at least one usage value to the billing service.

  • Patent number: 11677855
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage and process application programming interface (API) statistics associated with an API provider. In one example, a monitoring service may determine API function sequence information associated with requests to an API provider. Based on the API sequence information, the monitoring service may identify API path trends and generate summaries based on the API path trends.

  • Publication number: 20230102292
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage and process application programming interface (API) statistics associated with an API provider. In one implementation, a secure proxy is used to obtain API request information and encrypt at least a portion of the API request information. Once encrypted the API request information is communicated to a monitoring service. The secure proxy is further configured to receive a summary request associated with usage of the API provider and encrypt at least one attribute in the request. The secure proxy also retrieves summary information from the API monitoring service using the request with the at least one encrypted attribute and generates a summary using the summary information.

  • Publication number: 20220204372
    Abstract: A process for constructing a soil-based rhizosphere flow-through system to break down contaminants in contaminated water. The process includes the steps of: providing plants planted in soil in a test bioreactor, the plants providing a rhizosphere; exposing the rhizosphere to the contaminated water, extracting microorganisms from the rhizosphere following their exposure to the contaminated water: preparing a microbial suspension from the extract; subjecting the microbial suspension to growth conditions to increase the concentration of the microorganism, thereby preparing a soil conditioner; adding the soil conditioner to soil in a contained area having a water flow inlet and outlet; and planting a plurality of plants in the soil, the plants being of the same species as the plants of the test bioreactor.

  • Patent number: 11281505
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage and process application programming interface (API) statistics associated with an API provider. In one example, a monitoring service for an API service provider may obtain API request information from the API provider. The monitoring service may then compare the API request information to an API filter configuration obtained for the API provider, wherein the API filter configuration comprises criteria to filter API users of an API provider into a plurality of conversion categories. Based on the comparison, the monitoring service may determine a conversion category for each of the API users and generate a summary based on the conversion categories for the API users.

  • Patent number: 10990455
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage and process application programming interface (API) statistics associated with an API provider. In one example, a monitoring service obtains API request information associated with API requests from API users to an API provider. The monitoring service determines time stamps for the API requests based on the API provider information and compares the time stamps to retention criteria for the API provider to determine a retention of the plurality of API users over time. The monitoring service further generates a summary based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 6230908
    Abstract: A flow rack including a frame with a plurality of elongated channels attached to the frame. Each channel includes two spaced apart sides and a base wall extending between the sides. A plurality of rollers is movably mounted in each one of the channels. A portion of each roller extends above the respective channel at a first height. A reverse flow stop is pivotally mounted within each channel for movement between a stop position and a flow position. Each stop includes a stop arm. A weighted portion is attached to each stop for automatically biasing each stop to the stop position whereby the respective stop arm extends above the respective channel at a second height, greater than the first height.
