  • Publication number: 20240143322
    Abstract: A software developer proxy tool accesses microservice applications for a software development project by connecting the developer proxy tool to a common port on a computer network. The tool implements software and hardware to register a plurality of the microservice applications on connection ports that connect to the developer proxy tool at an address for the common port. Data requests among the microservices are handled by the developer proxy tool via the common port. The tool sequentially queries selected microservice applications on the respective connection ports to determine availability for completing a request. The tool receives responses back from microservices and directs the responses back to the requesting program. Failed requests trigger use of remote or third party microservice applications that may be available over an internet connection.

  • Publication number: 20240128291
    Abstract: A sensor package structure includes a substrate, a sensor chip disposed on and electrically coupled to the substrate, a light-permeable layer, an adhesive layer having a ring-shape and sandwiched between the sensor chip and the light-permeable layer, and an encapsulant formed on the substrate. The adhesive layer has two adhering surfaces having a same area and a middle cross section located at a middle position between the two adhering surfaces. An area of the middle cross section is 115% to 200% of an area of any one of the two adhering surfaces. The adhesive layer can provide for light to travel therethrough, and enables the light therein to change direction and to attenuate. The sensor chip, the adhesive layer, and the light-permeable layer are embedded in the encapsulant, and an outer surface of the light-permeable layer is at least partially exposed from the encapsulant.
