Did You Know...
...that while attempting to develop a super strong glue, 3M employee Spencer Silver accidentally developed a glue that was so weak it would barely hold two pieces of paper together? However, his colleague Art Fry needed the glue. Fry sang with his church choir and marked the pages of his hymnal with small scraps of paper that often fell out. He used Silver's glue to hold the papers in place. Today we call this invention Post-it Notes.

The caching system and method utilize a cacheability analyzer that analyzes responses based on time, content, user identification, and macro hierarchy. The caching system only caches those responses having dynamic content that are deemed cacheable. The method for caching dynamic content includes identifying parts of a response to a request for dynamic content from a requestor and attributes associated with the parts. The attributes are examined to determine cacheability of the response. A cacheability is made based on the determination and the response may be cached based upon that cacheability determination. | InventorsApplicationNo. 237135 filed on 01/25/1999US Classes:709/219, Accessing a remote server709/202, Processing agent709/213, MULTICOMPUTER DATA TRANSFERRING VIA SHARED MEMORY711/118CachingField of Search707/200, FILE OR DATABASE MAINTENANCE707/203, Version management711/118, Caching709/203, Client/server709/219, Accessing a remote server709/216, Accessing another computer's memory709/213, MULTICOMPUTER DATA TRANSFERRING VIA SHARED MEMORY709/202Processing agentExaminersPrimary: Lim, KrisnaAttorney, Agent or FirmUS Patent References5787470, Inter-cache protocol for improved WEB performanceIssued on: 07/28/1998 Inventor: DeSimone, et al.5873100, Internet browser that includes an enhanced cache for user-controlled document retention Issued on: 02/16/1999 Inventor: Adams, et al.5933849, Scalable distributed caching system and method Issued on: 08/03/1999 Inventor: Srbljic, et al.6006242, Apparatus and method for dynamically creating a document Issued on: 12/21/1999 Inventor: Poole, et al.6016512, Enhanced domain name service using a most frequently used domain names table and a validity code table Issued on: 01/18/2000 Inventor: Huitema6032182, Method, apparatus and computer program product for user selected refreshing of internet web pages Issued on: 02/29/2000 Inventor: Mullen-Schultz6128624, Collection and integration of internet and electronic commerce data in a database during web browsing Issued on: 10/03/2000 Inventor: Papierniak, et al.6128655, Distribution mechanism for filtering, formatting and reuse of web based content Issued on: 10/03/2000 Inventor: Fields, et al.6157930, Accelerating access to wide area network information in mode for showing document then verifying validity Issued on: 12/05/2000 Inventor: Ballard, et al.6185608, Caching dynamic web pages Issued on: 02/06/2001 Inventor: Hon, et al.6192382Method and system for web site construction using HTML fragment caching Issued on: 02/20/2001 Inventor: Lafer, et al.
