Abstract: A method to optimize calls to a service by components of an application running on an application server is provided. The method includes receiving a first call and a second call, the first call made to a service by a first one of a plurality of components included in the application, and the second call made to the service by a second one of the plurality of components; selecting one of a plurality of optimizations, the plurality of optimizations including orchestrating the first call and the second call into a third call to the service; and, in response to the selecting of the orchestrating of the first call and the second call into the third call as the one of the plurality of optimizations, orchestrating the first call and the second call into the third call.

Abstract: Electrochemical actuation is disclosed for fluid movement and flow control in microfluidic devices, allowing for miniaturization, minimal power requirements, single-use disposability and engineering of small, complex fluidic networks. In one embodiment, a single-dose fluid delivery device is operable to deliver a bolus dose, in a single extended stroke or in multiple repeated doses. The device uses three electrochemically-actuated chambers, two of the chambers operating as inlet/outlet valves for the device and a third providing both a temporary containment and pumping action. By sequential manipulation of the fluid pressure in the three chambers, fluids may be delivered in precise quantities by the device.

Abstract: The invention provides a cost-effective and in-situ method for applying an LbL coating onto a silicone hydrogel contact lens directly in a lens package. The resultant silicone hydrogel contact lens has a coating with good hydrophilicity, intactness and durability and also can be used directly from the lens package by a patient without washing and/or rising. In addition, the invention provides a packaging solution for in-situ coating of a silicone hydrogel contact lens in a lens package and an ophthalmic lens product.
