20090313998AXIALLY SPLIT NOZZLE LINER FOR CONVERGENT NOZZLE - A convergent/divergent nozzle for a gas turbine engine includes liners that are attached to the convergent flaps and seals. The liner is formed of two separate plates. By splitting the liner into two separate plates, a thermal break is provided between the two. Thermal stresses on a downstream plate are not as readily transferred to an upstream plate. External stresses on the upstream plate are not transferred as readily to the downstream plate. The two liner plate portions, and a separate backing plate all have faces that abut and are riveted together. These faces provide a flow blocker to maintain a lower pressure downstream of the flow blocker.12-24-2009

20080281606IDENTIFYING AUTOMATED CLICK FRAUD PROGRAMS - Methods and systems for identifying automated click fraud programs are provided. Upon receiving a request for presentation of a web page, the probability that the user is robotic is determined. The determined probability, along with historic behavior, if available, related to the requesting user, is used to determine a score that may be utilized to select advertisements for presentation to the user. If the score indicates a high likelihood that the user is robotic, an advertisement designed to solicit user behavior known to be associated with robots may be selected to confirm the suspicion. Alternatively, if the likelihood that the user is robotic is high enough, advertisement presentation may be largely suppressed. If, on the other hand, the score indicates a high likelihood that the user is human, a standard advertisement and/or an advertisement designed to solicit user feedback related to advertisements and/or publishers may be selected.11-13-2008

20100274910HOSTED APPLICATION SANDBOX MODEL - An application host (such as a web application server) may execute a set of applications on behalf of a set of users. Such applications may not be fully trusted, and a two-way isolation of the distributed resources of an application (e.g., the executing application, the application user interface on the user's computer, and server- and client-side stored resources) from other applications may be desirable. This isolation may be promoted utilizing the cross-domain restriction policies of each user's computer by allocating a distinct subdomain of the application host for each application. The routing of network requests to a large number of distinct subdomains may be economized by mapping all distinct subdomains to the address of the domain of the application host. Moreover, the application user interfaces may be embedded in an isolation construct (e.g., an IFRAME HTML element) to promote two-way isolation among application user interfaces and client-side application resources.10-28-2010
