Patent number: 11743348Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing requests for digital components. A method includes receiving a request from a client device for a digital component generated by a first SDK installed at a client device, examining data fields of the request by servers, generating real-time requests by the servers, and transmitting each real-time request to a third-party digital component provider by the servers. The method further includes receiving responses to the real-time requests from the third party digital component provider by the servers, selecting a particular response to transmit to the client device responsive to the request for the digital component by the servers, and transmitting the particular response to the first SDK with instructions specifying which SDK installed at the client device is required to render a digital component included in the particular response by the servers.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Christopher Dawson, Haskell Aaron Garon, James Giles, Vishal Viresh Kumar, Stephen Rhys Norum, George Jacob Levitte

Publication number: 20220388225Abstract: A method of manufacturing an armour layer of a flexible pipe for transporting fluid from a subsea location and apparatus are provided. The method comprises winding a first length of composite tape to form a first section of the armour layer and positioning an end region of the first length of composite tape over an end region of a second length of composite tape to form an overlapping tape section. Heat and pressure is applied to the overlapping tape section to form a joined overlapping tape section in which the first length of tape is joined to the second length of tape such that the joined overlapping tape section has a lap shear strength of at least 11 MPa. The joined overlapping tape section and the second length of composite tape are wound to form a second section of the armour layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2020Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: David FINCH, Christopher DAWSON, Wayne CALDWELL-BARR, Majeed AL-ZUBAIDY, Angelos MINTZAS
