Abstract:
A USB-based data acquisition system including virtual buffer software which increases USB data transfer rates with minimal changes to DAQ driver level software. The virtual buffer software operates to receive or intercept calls made by the DAQ driver level software to acquire data from the device, wherein the DAQ driver level software is designed to read the data from the device one sample at a time from the device. The virtual buffer software intercepts the call and requests the data in bulk packets from the device. The virtual buffer software then stores the received packets of data in a virtual buffer or virtual FIFO maintained in computer system memory. The DAQ driver level software then obtains the data from the computer system memory using much faster transfers. The virtual buffer software emulates operation of the device, including generation of interrupts and responses to status register reads, thus “fooling” the DAQ driver level software into thinking the data is being acquired from the device. Thus, the present invention allows for much faster data transfers, while requiring minimal or no changes to the existing DAQ driver level software.
Abstract:
The customer agent 9 transmits a search request 15a to a manager 4, which in turn transmits a search request 15b to a shop agent 5. The shop agent 5 transmits a product information service message 16a to the manager 4. The manager 4 transmits a product information service message 16b to the customer agent 9 and a product information service message 16c to a shop agent 17. Based on the thus monitored product information service message 16c, the shop agent 17 generates an associated information service message 18a and transmits it to the manager 4. The manager 4 then transmits an associated information service message 18b to the customer agent 9.
Abstract:
A system, method, and computer readable medium for asynchronous live migration of applications between two or more servers. The computer readable medium includes computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system. Primary applications runs on primary hosts and one or more replicated instances of each primary application run on one or more backup hosts. Asynchronous live migration is provided through a combination of process replication, logging, barrier synchronization, checkpointing, reliable messaging and message playback. The live migration is transparent to the application and requires no modification to the application, operating system, networking stack or libraries.
Abstract:
An Application Programming Interface (API) call that is directed from a first application to a second application is intercepted. A first version number is identified for the first application and a second version number is identified for the second application. One or more transformations are processed on the API call to produce a compatible API call that is compatible with the second application. The compatible API call is provided to the second application for processing on behalf of the first application.
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to methods and systems for managing rendering of a web page in a browser. A client operated by a user may execute code within a first fragment of a web page as the first fragment is presented to the user. The code may be injected into the first fragment by an intermediary between the client and a server of the web page. The intermediary may have split the web page into the first fragment and a plurality of fragments, and may have modified a default rendering characteristic for each of the plurality of fragments. Each of the modified rendering characteristic may include a trigger and action for rendering of a corresponding fragment. The executing code may dynamically detect a trigger for rendering of a second fragment from the plurality of fragments. The executing code may initiate a corresponding action for rendering of the second fragment.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method comprises intercepting a first set of instructions from a server computer that define one or more objects and one or more original operations that are based, at least in part, on the one or more objects; modifying the first set of instructions by adding one or more supervisor operations that are based, at least in part, on the one or more objects; transforming the one or more original operations to produce one or more transformed operations that are based, at least in part, on the one or more supervisor operations; rendering a second set of instructions which define the one or more supervisor operations and the one or more transformed operations; sending the second set of instructions to a remote client computer.
Abstract:
System and techniques for memory management are described herein. A request for an adjusted process-value for a process may be received. Here, the adjusted process-value may be used to compare resident processes to determine which resident process will be terminated in certain circumstances. In response to the request for the adjusted process-value, a launch-time weight for the process may be obtained. The launch-time weight may be combined with a process-value to create an adjusted process-value. The adjusted process-value may then be returned to the requestor.
Abstract:
The disclosed subject matter presents a method for translating between protocols using an extended scripting language. In one embodiment ECMA-262 scripting language is extended to enable one with ordinary skill in the art to create scripts which may be used to perform diverse data manipulation including, but not limited to: file input/output, database manipulation, data identification, data translation, XML functionality, SMB functionality, email, etc. Additionally provided for is running the extended scripting language along side a binary to manipulate data such that changes can be implemented without requiring the recoding and/or recompiling of the binary. In other embodiments, the disclosed subject matter enables the transmission of information via a webservice, with information able to be viewed and/or manipulated on a variety of GUI's.
Abstract:
A method for enabling a feature provided by a first presentation layer protocol, within a session established according to a second presentation layer protocol includes intercepting, by a hooking component executing on a first machine, a request, by an operating system executing on the first machine, for an indication whether the first machine established a session with a second machine according to a first presentation layer protocol. The method includes determining that the first machine established a session according to a second presentation layer protocol. The method includes identifying a type of a function within the operating system that generated the request for the indication. The method includes indicating that the first machine established the session according to the first presentation layer protocol, responsive to the identification of the type. The method includes enabling functionality provided for use in sessions established according to the first presentation layer protocol.
Abstract:
A method for interposing on operating system calls in a host is provided. The method includes patching an operating system kernel function, the patching comprising adding a first pointer that invokes an agent function, the patching performed by an agent. The method includes executing the agent function, responsive to a system call stub calling the operating system kernel function, which invokes the agent function via the first pointer, wherein at least one action of the method is performed by a processor of a host having an operating system.
