  • Patent number: 10601941
    Abstract: A method and system for optimization of an advertisement in a network resource in a proxy server of a cloud-based proxy service are described. Responsive to determining that there is an advertisement element in a network resource, the proxy server automatically modifies the advertisement element. The automatic modification of the advertisement element includes: 1) compressing style code into compressed style code; 2) compressing the image; and 3) compressing the style generation code. The proxy server generates a modified version of the network resource including the modified version of the advertisement element, where the modified version of the advertisement element is smaller in size than the advertisement element included in the network resource retrieved from the origin server; and transmits the modified version of the network resource to the client device instead of the network resource.

  • Patent number: 10270886
    Abstract: A method and system for dynamically optimizing a script library are described. A request for a script library is received from a set of client devices. An instrumented version of the script library is transmitted to at least one of the set of client devices. The instrumented version of the script library includes code for tracing execution of the script library. Responsive to execution of the instrumented version of the script library at each one of the at least one of client devices, script library usage feedback indicative of usage of the script library at these client devices is received. An optimized version of the script library, generated based on the script library usage feedback by removing portions of the script library that are unused by the subset of client devices, is transmitted to the client device instead of the script library in response to a second request.

  • Patent number: 9421729
    Abstract: A set of dies for embossing or debossing is disclosed. The set has a female die (4, 80) and a male die (7, 67) each which has a steel backing plate (5, 47, 75). One of the dies is strongly magnetically attracted to a base plate (1, 68) which results in a weak magnetic attraction between the two dies (4, 7 or 67, 80). The weak magnetic attraction enables the set of dies to be substantially automatically self-aligning. Furthermore, such a set of dies can be used with a cutting and creasing die (50) to permit embossing or debossing simultaneously with cutting and/or folding during the same run.

  • Patent number: 9062694
    Abstract: A linear actuator such as a hydraulic cylinder has linear position sensing apparatus. At least one magnet is provided in a recess in outer surface of the piston for generating a magnetic field that passes through the wall of the cylinder housing. A magnetic sensor arrangement determines the axial position of the piston relative to the housing and comprises at least a pair of magnetic sensor elements arranged at spaced apart locations along the external surface of the wall for sensing the strength of the magnetic field passing through the wall of the housing. The recess in the piston is axially positioned between the first and second end surfaces of the piston and the at least one magnet is disposed between axially spaced north and south pole pieces.

  • Patent number: 8530809
    Abstract: A control actuation system for an air-breathing rocket motor propelled guided missile positions the drive motors and input gears in an inlet fairing extending aft of the air inlet towards the tail of the missile. The output gears are positioned coincident with and mechanically coupled to their respective tail fins spaced around the circumference of the missile. At least one of the tail fins is offset in a circumferential direction of the missile from its corresponding input gear and the inlet fairing. At least one ring gear is positioned around the exhaust tube to rotate in the circumferential direction of the missile. The ring gear comprises input and output teeth that engage the input and output gears, respectively, to actuate the tail fin.
