  • Patent number: 10911525
    Abstract: Techniques for configuring and operating a multimedia aware cloud, particularly configured for mobile device computing, are described herein. In some instances, clusters of servers are organized for general computing, graphic computing and data storage. A load balancing server may be configured to: identify multimedia types currently being processed within the multimedia edge cloud; determine desired quality of service levels for each identified multimedia type; evaluate individual abilities of devices communicating with the multimedia edge cloud; and assess bandwidth of each network over which the multimedia edge cloud communicates with a mobile device. With that information, multimedia data may be adapted accordingly, to result in an acceptable quality of service level when delivered to a specific mobile device. In one example of the techniques, graphic computing server clusters may be configured to process workload using a configuration that includes elements of both parallel and serial computing.

  • Patent number: 8330891
    Abstract: An active array substrate for a flat panel display is disclosed. The active array substrate includes a substrate, a plurality of first conductive lines, a plurality of second conductive lines, a plurality of first repair lines, a plurality of second repair lines, a plurality of third repair lines. The substrate has a display area. The first repair lines cross and are electrically separated from the second conductive lines. The second repair lines cross and are electrically separated from the second conductive lines. Each of the third repair lines is in electrical connection respectively with one of the first repair lines and one of the second repair lines. The second conductive lines are divided into a plurality of second conductive line groups and each of the second conductive line groups respectively corresponds to one of the third repair lines.
