  • Patent number: 8291503
    Abstract: Described is a technology for preloading modules, such as modules that show clinical/medical data maintained at a service, so as to reduce a user's wait time to use a module. The modules for which a user is authenticated are preloaded according to a loading order that is based upon the user's historical usage data. If a user interacts to use a selected module that is not yet loaded, the selected module may be loaded immediately, independent of the order. A background thread preloads the modules according to the order. A normal thread loads the selected module, unless already being preloaded by the background thread; in either situation the loading thread's priority may be temporarily increased to expedite loading. The historical data may be in the form of weight values associated with the modules, with the weight values adjusted based upon module usage.

  • Patent number: 7370060
    Abstract: A system and method for preserving unrepresented data in a document exchanged between applications. Applications handling the document, or computing devices executing the applications may have different capabilities with respect to a particular feature of the document such as certain formatting properties, footnotes, graphical attributes, and the like. Data associated with such features, unrepresented data, is preserved by employing a tree structure for the document and flagging nodes associated with unrepresented data. Flagged nodes are ignored, but preserved, when the document is handled by an application or computing device with different capabilities. When the document is handled again by an application or computing device that is capable of processing those features, the unrepresented data is made available along with any modifications made to the document during the previous handling.
