  • Patent number: 9866638
    Abstract: Mechanisms for allowing allow multi-session capability and session-return enabling stateful web applications include providing a start URL of a requested portal page with an “External Session ID” (ESID). The ESID is an argument that is different between the two instances of the application (on the same page), and leads to different/independent sessions in the server. When a user returns to the same page, the ESIDs are passed again with the individual application requests, and the server can then logically reconnect to the proper session and allow the user to continue. The ESID can be used to return to an application after the user has previously left to go to another application and then desires to come back, or even when the user closed the browser and restarts the application later.

  • Patent number: 8788625
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method or a computer program product includes identifying a request for a target application and automatically requesting a target application and launching a program to display content associated with the target application. The request for the target application and the launch of the program generally occur nearly simultaneously. The method further includes displaying content associated with the target application with the display program.

  • Patent number: 7730194
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to enable access of an application through a network portal to integrate that network application into the portal services provided to a user. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes using a template to identify a correspondence between a first parameter associated with a portal and a second parameter associated with a network resource and to generate a network address for the network resource, where the network address includes a value for the first parameter.

  • Patent number: 7606901
    Abstract: A client computer and a server computer communicate via HTTP. The client computer uses a standard HTTP-browser. Substantially simultaneously with establishing a session by allocating a resource at the server computer, the server computer sends a termination instruction to the browser. The instruction remains unexecuted in the browser during the whole session. In the event that the server computer terminates the session (such as upon unloading the instruction from the browser), the browser causes the server computer to de-allocate the resource.

  • Patent number: 7512651
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to enable access of an application through a network portal to integrate that network application into the portal services provided to a user. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes generating a network address including user credentials in a query portion of the network address. The technique also includes generating an encrypted network request using a command which causes a network server to not log the query portion of the network address and causing a redirect at a network browser after employing the network address in the network request.

  • Patent number: 7141211
    Abstract: In order to determine the total sulfur content of a sample (1), the sample is uniformly combusted with a flame (8). The combustion product sulfur dioxide is fed to a gas chromatograph (15) in which it is separated from other combustion products (9) and is then fed to a detector (17), which is situated downstream and which is provided for determining sulfur dioxide concentration. The combustion of the sample (1) is preferably effected in a flame ionization detector (19), with whose measurement signal (21) the detector signal (20) generated by the detector (17) is freed from signal contents based on non-uniformities of the combustion process.

  • Publication number: 20030009562
    Abstract: A client computer (900) and a server computer (901) communicate via HTTP; the client computer (900) uses a standard HTTP-browser (210). Substantially simultaneously with establishing a session by allocating a resource (340) at the server computer (900), the server computer (900) sends a termination instruction (360) to the browser (210) during the whole session. In the event that the server computer (900) terminates the session, such as upon unloading the instruction (360) from the browser (210), the browser (210) causes the server computer (900) to de-allocate the resource (340).
