  • Publication number: 20240129277
    Abstract: A cloud computing platform provides zero trust network access as a service to customers that maintain applications on-premises. In this context, the cloud computing platform may associate customers and/or applications with specific service proxies, and add an abstraction layer for network access that maps an alias domain for each customer and/or application to a network load balancer associated with the specific service proxies associated with the corresponding application(s). This approach advantageously simplifies the configuration of service proxies at the cloud computing platform by permitting dedicated relationships among network load balancers, specific service proxies, and specific applications, while concurrently reducing or avoiding the administrative burden on customers of updating network pointers when the clusters of service proxies are periodically reconfigured to adjust to varying user traffic.

  • Patent number: 11960104
    Abstract: Control systems for liquid lenses can use feedback control using one or more measured parameters indicative of a position of the fluid interface in the liquid lens. Capacitance between a fluid and an electrode in the liquid lens can vary depending on the position of the fluid interface. Current mirrors can be used for making measurements indicative of the capacitance and/or the fluid interface position. The liquid lens can be calibrated using the measurements indicative of capacitance and/or fluid interface position as the voltage is driven across an operational range. A control system can use pulse width modulation (PWM) for driving a liquid lens, and a carrier frequency for the PWM signals can be varied to control power consumption in the liquid lens. The slew rate can be adjustable to control power consumption in the liquid lens.
