  • Patent number: 11665082
    Abstract: This document describes systems, devices, and methods for testing the integration of a content provider's origin infrastructure with a content delivery network (CDN). In embodiments, the teachings hereof enable a content provider's developer to rapidly and flexibly create test environments that send test traffic through the same CDN hardware and software that handle (or at least have the ability to handle) production traffic, but in isolation from that production traffic and from each other. Furthermore, in embodiments, the teachings hereof enable the content provider to specify an arbitrary test origin behind its corporate firewall with which the CDN should communicate.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5732837
    Abstract: A closure member for use in closing vials that are subjected to lyophilization conditions is described where the member is a resilient stopper that has a plug movable within a passageway in the stopper. The plug is movable between a first raised venting position and second downwardly engaging, sealing position whereby fluid from the vial or container is precluded from flowing through the fluid passageway in the cap. The passageway has a venting medium filter covering it which allows passage of water vapor, but not bacteria.

  • Patent number: 4289480
    Abstract: In the lamination of thermoplastic polymer layers to substrates a thin surface layer of the substrate can be heated to improve adhesion without substantially heating the mass of the substrate by advancing the exposed surface of the thin layer in surface-conforming contact with a heated surface for 0.1 to one second at an interface pressure of 0.1 to 5 kilograms per centimeter of substrate width, the heated surface having an initial temperature of 35.degree.-350.degree. C.
