  • Publication number: 20250230571
    Abstract: A method of making a cathode for an electrochemical deposition system includes positioning a metallic foil onto a support surface of a raised platform of a build plate so that the metallic foil is flush against the support surface. The method also includes retaining the metallic foil against the build plate via a retaining device so that the metallic foil is sealed to the build plate around the support surface and so that the metallic foil is proud of the retaining device. The cathode correspondingly includes the build plate, the metallic foil, and the retaining device.

  • Patent number: 7958127
    Abstract: A tag-mediated review system for electronic content that ranks content based upon several ascertainable factors, including the implicit engagement with the content by users (typically online viewers); the expertise and success in the topical domain by reviewers; and the review activity of users or viewers. The system extends implicit metrics to tracking of user interaction including the receipt of video and audio content over the web. Document ranking is mediated by tags that identify the subject matter addressed by an associated document as the ranking mediators for computing content quality scores values for user and reviewer activity. The tag-mediated content quality scores, which are content quality scores for the subject matter area identified by the associated tags, can be exposed to end-users and used directly or indirectly to complement search engine retrieval algorithms.
