Abstract: Data management systems and methods include a cloud-based platform coupled to a system of agents or folders hosted on client devices. The platform does not store actual data but instead makes use of metadata provided by the agents to track a location of all data in the system and manage the distributed storage, movement and processing of the actual data among the agents. In so doing, the platform pools networked storage into “virtual clusters” using local storage at the agents. The agents collectively monitor, store, and transfer or move data, and perform data processing operations as directed by the platform, as described in detail herein. The agents include agents hosted on or coupled to processor-based devices, agents hosted on devices of a local area network, agents hosted on devices of a wide area network, agents hosted on mobile devices, and agents hosted on cloud-based devices.

Abstract: A system and method for sales promotions via a text-messaging with deferred text-to-call interaction comprising a call-to-action link, generated via a script contained in the header of a webpage, which reduces the number of steps needed to obtain a sales promotion via a website. The call-to-action link triggers a prepopulated text message on a user's mobile device. User response to this message initiates a routing protocol to connect the user to a seller or agent associated with the advertising company for voice-based interaction. A pre-authorization message may be sent by the chatbot with a request for authorization to access private data. In some embodiments, a deferred text-to-call feature is implemented which allows the user to make an audio connection with an advertiser at a future time.

Abstract: A throttle-controlled intake system is disclosed that provides a driver of a vehicle with greater control over engine functions and vehicle performance. The throttle-controlled intake system includes a control module that is coupled with an aircharger air intake. The control module processes input signals from a throttle pedal of the vehicle and sends modified throttle position signals to a throttle body of the vehicle so as to increase throttle responsiveness of the vehicle. The throttle-controlled intake system further includes a wiring harness and a signal adjuster. The wiring harness electrically couples the control module with the throttle pedal and the throttle body. The control module sends signals directly to the throttle body of the engine, bypassing an electronic control unit of the vehicle. The signal adjuster includes a rheostat that enables manual adjustment of the throttle responsiveness of the vehicle.

Abstract: Embodiments of a distributed data management system include a platform comprising a processor coupled to databases. A grid including agents is coupled to the platform, and each agent is an agent of the platform independently running on a client device. The agents generate and provide to the platform metadata that corresponds to the content of memory accessible by the client devices corresponding to the agents. The agents generate the metadata by hashing fragments of the content. The platform uses the metadata instead of the content to generate and assign to the agents tasks including tasks controlling at least one of storing, transferring and processing of the content. A task is a processing operation performed on content accessible by the agent responsible for the task.
