Method and system for reducing web page download time

In one embodiment web page response time is improved by requesting multiple resources in a batch request, receiving said resources in a batch response, and disjoining the resources and corresponding HTTP headers before caching on the client. The resources are retrieved by web browser from the cache separately without loss of cache granularity. Client parses base page to determine the embedded resources and includes in the batch requests only web addresses those resources that are uncached or may be expired. To reduce required bandwidth, server validates caching information of every resource before sending the batch response. In another embodiment web application performance for mobile users is improved by combining individually requested resources into the batch response on a network node positioned on a link between cellular network and the Internet.

System for authenticating hardcopy documents

A system authenticates an original hardcopy document using a digital signature generation system and a digital signature verification system. Initially, the original hardcopy document is scanned to provide a bitmap image to the signature generation system. The bitmap image is highly compressed by the signature generation system using compression schemes such as MPEG (for gray images) or a low-fidelity symbol based compression scheme (for bi-level images). A signed hardcopy document is then printed that includes the bitmap image and an authentication token. The authentication token is encoded in the signed hardcopy document using either serpentine halftone patterns or data glyphs. The authenticity of the signed hardcopy document is verified by inputting a scanned bitmap image of the signed hardcopy document into the signature verification system. Once received, the signature verification system decodes, authenticates, and decompresses the bitmap image to define decompressed image data. The decompressed image data is then output to a display or printer and compared with the signed hardcopy document to determine whether it is authentic.

Bubble detection and recovery in a liquid pumping system

InactiveUSRE37553E1Minimizes delay volumeMinimizes compositional rippleIon-exchanger regenerationLoose filtering material filtersGas to liquidsEngineering
A serial, dual piston high pressure fluid pumping system that overcomes the difficulties of gas in the fluid stream without the need for added mechanical valves or fluid paths. A bubble detection and recovery mechanism monitors compression and decompression volumes of the serially configured dual pump head pump, and the overall system delivery pressure. Bubble detection is effected by sensing a ratio of compression to decompression volume and determining if the ratio exceeds an empirical threshold that suggests the ratio of gas-to-liquid content of eluent or fluid in the system is beyond the pump's ability to accurately meter a solvent mixture. The magnitude of the ratio of compression to decompression volume indicates that either the intake stroke has a bubble or that the eluent has a higher-than-normal gas content. Once a bubble has been detected, recovery is effected by forcing the pump into a very high stroke volume with the compression and decompression stroke limits constrained to obtain the largest delivery stroke compression ratio that will expel a bubble or solvent that has detrimental quantities of gas.
