Abstract: Technologies are provided for generating optimized sets of client rendering options for renderable content items (such as images, videos, text, and audio). Rendering optimization parameters for a renderable content item can be determined by assessing the performance of processing requests and rendering content items using different file formats, quality settings, and/or other settings for the renderable content items. The rendering optimization parameters can then be used in combination with a rendering specification that is defined by a developer (such as an application developer, web page designer, or the like) in order to create an optimized set of client rendering options. The set of client rendering options can then be transmitted to one or more client computing devices. A client computing device that receives the set of client rendering options can select one or more of the options in order to render the renderable content item.

Abstract: In order to provide a method for heating an object (102) that is simple to perform and makes it possible to heat an object (102) efficiently and reliably, it is proposed that the method should include the following: providing an object (102) to be heated; applying at least one energy beam (108, 109) to the object (102) to be heated, wherein at least one energy beam (108) is guided over the object (102) to be heated multiple times, along a predetermined intended heating path (114), and this heats the object (102) along the intended heating path (114); determining a temperature distribution over the intended heating path (114), for identifying one or more deviation points (120) at which an actual local temperature differs from an expected and/or calculated temperature; changing and/or supplementing the application of at least one energy beam (108, 109) in order to compensate for the temperature difference at one or more deviation points (120).
