  • Patent number: 11899617
    Abstract: Provided is an edge compute platform (“ECP”) for serving optimized content from local cache or from output of a shared customizable function executed by a compute device at the network edge on behalf of different customer content such that the function is not redundantly deployed for different customer content, and is not be executed each time the same variant of the optimized content is requested. The ECP may canonicalize first transformation parameters of a received original request according to a transformation parameter definition of a particular function that is implicated by the original request, may generate second transformation parameters with a different ordering than the first transformation parameters as a result of the canonicalization, may generate a variant of the original file by inputting the second transformation parameters to the particular function, and may provide the variant in response to the original request.

  • Patent number: 5482590
    Abstract: A method for forming a display cell with counter-electrode contact pick-ups. Contact blocks are separated from counter-electrode contacts by means of a passivation film. An electrical connection between the counter-electrode and the contacts is obtained by calcining the glue of the blocks to render it conductive by the use of a laser beam. The passivation film and counter-electrode contact are also perforated by using the laser beam.

  • Patent number: 5431771
    Abstract: A method for embodying a display cell with a counter-electrode contact pickup. Contact blocks 12 are separated from counter-electrode contacts 20 by passivation film 22. The electrodes linked between the counter-electrode and the contacts 20 are obtained by calcining the glue of the blocks so as to render them conductive by using a laser beam 30. In addition, the passivation film 22 is perforated by using the laser beam 30. This method finds particular application in the embodiment of liquid crystal display screens.
