  • Distributed code execution involving a serverless computing infrastructure
    Patent number: 11252220
    Abstract: A method for distributed code execution involving a first serverless computing infrastructure, the first serverless computing infrastructure comprising one or more first infrastructure nodes, the one or more first infrastructure nodes comprising a first invocation controller node and one or more first executing nodes, the one or more first infrastructure nodes being communicatively coupled to one or more client nodes, the one or more client nodes being external to the one or more first infrastructure nodes, the method comprising receiving event information, identifying application logic associated with the event information, selecting, from an invoker group, an invoker node for executing the application logic, causing the invoker node to execute the application logic, causing the invoker node to provide a result of the executed application logic, and receiving the result.

  • Method and device for reading out a topographic structure applied to a component; and a component
    Patent number: 8351052
    Abstract: A method for reading a topographic structure applied to a component includes providing the component with the topographic structure, applying an agent configured to enhance a contrast of the structure to at least a region of the component where the structure is located and reading the topographic structure after the applying the agent.
