  • Publication number: 20220078078
    Abstract: A resource manager of a virtualized computing service indicates to a client that FPGA-enabled compute instances are supported at the service. From a set of virtualization hosts of the service, a particular host from which an FPGA is accessible is selected for the client based on an indication of computation objectives of the client. Configuration operations are performed to prepare the host for the application, and an FPGA-enabled compute instance is launched at the host for the client.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20030065304
    Abstract: A transdermal reservoir and a method of the present invention for loading a material into a reservoir includes providing an reservoir including a backing with an interior surface comprising a bibulous reservoir having a patient contact surface with a shape disposed on the interior surface of the backing. The method includes providing a closure sized and shaped to engage the backing for forming a releasable seal to isolate the bibulous reservoir from the ambient environment, the closure is removable from the housing to expose the patient contact surface for use. The provided closure has an inside surface with a section of an absorbent material disposed thereon. The provided section has a first surface so that when the closure is disposed on the backing, the absorbent material first surface is positioned in intimate physical contact with the reservoir. The method includes applying an aliquot of a material to the absorbent material.

  • Patent number: 6496727
    Abstract: A transdermal reservoir and method for loading a material into a reservoir includes providing a bibulous reservoir blocking a backing with an interior surface having a patient contact surface with a shape disposed on the interior surface of the backing. A closure is sized and shaped to engage the backing for forming a releasable seal to isolate the bibulous reservoir from the ambient environment. The closure has an inside surface with a section of an absorbent material disposed thereon. When the closure is disposed on the backing, the absorbent material is positioned in intimate physical contact with the reservoir. The method includes applying an aliquot of a material to the absorbent material,. placing the closure on the backing so that the absorbent material is in intimate physical contact with the contact surface of the bibulous reservoir and the closure forms the releasable seal with the backing.
