20090083442 | Tracking Identifier Synchronization - A tracking identifier synchronization system using a convergent selection method comprises first party instructions accessed through a content provider and a synchronization system comprising a receiver, a composer and an output. First party instructions direct the client to submit a request comprising a third party cookie to a synchronization system. The composer generates setting instructions for execution at the client. Setting instructions comprise instructions to use a client-executed convergent selection method to select values first party cookies and, optionally, reporting instructions directing the client to transmit the values of client tracking identifiers. Repeated invocation of client-executed convergent selection methods results in the convergence of cookie values for many operational cases. Optionally, the synchronization system may generate third party cookie(s) using a convergent selection method based on the reporting data and compose a second set of third party cookie setting instructions for execution at the client. | 03-26-2009 |
20090201828 | METHOD OF DETERMINING PATH MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION UNIT - Network endpoints using TCP/IP operate to determine the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the path between them. This determination is done so as to avoid the expensive IP fragmentation that will occur when transitting links with a smaller MTU size. The standard method of determining the path MTU (PMTU) has several known deficiencies, including: inefficient use of bandwidth as proper operation will likely result in the loss of one or more packets and difficulty of implementation as the reverse channel communication mechanism, reception of ICMP messages indicating the discarding of unfragmentable packets, is frequently blocked by firewalls and other security apparatus. | 08-13-2009 |
20130132222 | Method and Apparatus Pertaining to Financial Investment Quantitative Analysis Signal Auctions - A server receives identifying information regarding a plurality of signals pertaining to financial investment quantitative analysis from various third parties. At least some of this identifying information is then posted and on-line auctions are conducted for individual ones of this plurality of signals. | 05-23-2013 |
20130198024 | Method and Apparatus Pertaining to the Aggregation and Parsing of Behavioral-Event Content - A control circuit collects content for on-line behavioral events for a plurality of discrete on-line participants and then uses this identifying information to parse and aggregate that content to provide parsed, aggregated behavioral-event content that can then be offered, for example, via an on-line auction. By one approach the identifying information can serve as a basis to parse the aggregated content by industry to thereby yield, for example, search queries conducted by a variety of persons working for a variety of companies as comprise a given industry. By ensuring a statistically-significant number of sources, and by withholding the identifying information when offering the resultant parsed, aggregated content, the identities of the sources are anonymized to thereby protect and preserve the privacy of these sources. | 08-01-2013 |

20100309922 | PROTECTING DATA INTEGRITY IN AN ENHANCED NETWORK CONNECTION - The integrity of a data stream transmitted over a network is protected by adjusting the sequence number, the port number, or another field of a data packet field, for a number of data packets so that the data packets will be considered either valid or invalid by a downstream receiving device. Data packets that have such a field adjusted can be thought of as being rotated outside of a valid range or window, as defined for a network connection. This field of a rotated data packet can be further adjusted, through de-rotation or re-rotation, for various applications. Downstream devices can thus respond to the data packets depending on the state of the rotation. | 12-09-2010 |
20120093156 | VIRTUAL INLINE CONFIGURATION FOR A NETWORK DEVICE - A performance enhancing proxy network device is configured to operate in a virtual inline mode, in which selected network traffic is redirected to and through the network device by a router using simple routing policies. In this way, the network device can be coupled to the router in series but can still operate as if it were physically connected inline. | 04-19-2012 |
