| 20110264787 | CAPTURING WEB-BASED SCENARIOS - This patent application pertains to capturing web-based scenarios. One example detects execution of a web application. This example also automatically captures non-deterministic events of the execution in a manner that is transparent to a user of the web application. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110288934 | AD STALKING DEFENSE - Techniques are described to mitigate ad stalking and other user concerns resulting from user-targeted advertising. A user may be informed of advertising information by a process in which an advertising server receives a request for an ad. The request may have been generated in response to a user request for a landing web page. An ad may be selected based on user information available to the advertising server, where the user information is associated with the user and describes behavior and/or attributes and/or preferences associated with the user. Text about how the ad was selected may be incorporated into the ad. Such text may describe the user information used to select the ad. The selection-disclosing text may be incorporated in the ad in a form that is displayable to the user by a browser. The ad may then be transmitted for display in the landing web page. | 11-24-2011 |

| 20100241742 | Collaborative speed determination in distributed systems - The described implementations relate to collaborative speed determination in distributed systems. One method estimates upload speeds of a plurality of hosts. The method sends a first bandwidth probe from a first host to a second host. The method receives, at the first host, a second bandwidth probe sent from the second host. The method determines which of the first and second bandwidth probes was relatively slower. The method designates either of the first or second hosts that sent the relatively slower bandwidth probe as a loser and takes a speed of the bandwidth probe of the loser as a first estimate of the loser's upload speed. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100312858 | NETWORK APPLICATION PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT USING SPECULATIVE EXECUTION - A speculative web browser engine may enable providing transmission of content between a server and a client prior to a user-initiated request for the content hidden in imperative code (event handlers), which may reduce user-perceived latency when the user initiates the imperative code. In some aspects, a speculative browser state may be created from an actual browser state and used to run the event handlers. The event handlers may be modified to direct actions of the event handler to update the speculative browser state. Speculative content may be transmitted between the server and the client in response to an execution of the modified code. The speculative content may be stored in a cache and made readily available for use when the user initiates the event handler and finds that the desired content has already been fetched. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110289232 | Collaborative Speed Determination in Distributed Systems - The described implementations relate to collaborative speed determination in distributed systems. One method estimates upload speeds of a plurality of hosts. The method sends a first bandwidth probe from a first host to a second host. The method receives, at the first host, a second bandwidth probe sent from the second host. The method determines which of the first and second bandwidth probes was relatively slower. The method designates either of the first or second hosts that sent the relatively slower bandwidth probe as a loser and takes a speed of the bandwidth probe of the loser as a first estimate of the loser's upload speed. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20120084346 | Page Loading Optimization Using Page-Maintained Cache - Web page loading time may be decreased with the use of a page-maintained storage cache on a client device. In various implementations, a server may receive a request for a web page from a web browser that is on the client device. The server may provide a chunk reassembler to the client device that determines whether any chunks in the web page are already stored on the client device. Subsequently, the server may send one or more chunk of the web page to the client device when the chunk reassembler determines that the one or more chunks of the web page are missing from the client device. The chunk reassembler may then instruct the web browser to assemble the one or more received chunks with the one or more chunks that are stored on the client device into the web page for presentation on the client device. | 04-05-2012 |

| 20090204599 | USING RELATED USERS DATA TO ENHANCE WEB SEARCH - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates generating a personalized query result for a specific user. An interface can receive at least one of a portion of a text query to be searched or a portion of personalized content related to a user that submits the portion of the text query. A personalization component can combine the portion of personalized content related to the user with a portion of personalized content related to one or more disparate users to create group personalized content, wherein the group personalized content is compared with the portion of the text query to identify a relationship there between to generate a personalized query result in accordance with the relationship. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20100258379 | Vehicle utility ladder - A ladder constructed for reaching an elevated surface or object and having a bow-shaped configuration so that the reach may extend further from the base on which the footing of the ladder rests, the ladder being configured to reach areas such as the roof of a vehicle. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20120131290 | Backup Memory Administration - Methods, systems, and computer program products for backup memory administration are provided. Embodiments include storing in an active memory device, by a memory backup controller, blocks of computer data received from random access memory; recording in a change log, by the memory backup controller, identifications of each block of computer data that is stored in the active memory device; detecting, by the memory backup controller, a backup trigger event; and responsive to the detecting of the backup trigger event: copying, by the memory backup controller, from the active memory device, to a backup memory device, the blocks of data identified in the change log; and clearing, by the memory backup controller, the change log. | 05-24-2012 |
