20100042689 | In-Line Security Device - Aspects of the invention provide apparatuses, systems, and computer readable media for providing security to an end device ( | 02-18-2010 |
20090308734 | Apparatus and Method for Wafer Level Arc Detection - A method and apparatus for detecting a wafer-level arc in a plasma process chamber. The method includes, for example, monitoring a waveform of a signal supplied to the plasma process chamber; detecting a feature in the waveform; responsive to detecting the feature, determining whether the waveform has stabilized after the feature; responsive to the waveform stabilizing, determining whether the feature is part of a bidirectional waveform anomaly or a unidirectional waveform transition; and recording to a computer-readable medium either an indication of the feature being part of a bidirectional waveform anomaly or an indication of the feature being a unidirectional waveform transition. | 12-17-2009 |
20090265020 | Remote Virtual Placeholder Configuration for Distributed Input/Output Modules - A modular distributed I/O system for an industrial automation network that allows one or more modules of an island to be omitted without requiring reconfiguration of the system by maintaining a consistent I/O image representation of the distributed I/O network for various physical distributed I/O configurations and managing reconfiguration changes remotely using Virtual Placeholder objects. | 10-22-2009 |
20090172223 | Method and Apparatus for Distributing Configuration Files in a Distributed Control System - The invention described herein provides a system and method for distributing and applying a configuration file from a master device ( | 07-02-2009 |
20090172193 | Cable Redundancy with a Networked System - Aspects of the invention provide apparatuses, systems, and methods for supporting cable redundancy in a network connecting a network controller ( | 07-02-2009 |
20090168806 | Tuning of industrial automation system performance based on device operating characteristics - Each device in an industrial automation system network or other network may have its own associated one or more performance characteristics, such as response time and/or reset time of the network device. Data may be stored representing a plurality of performance characteristics each associated with a different one of a plurality of devices in the network including a first device and a second device. The stored data may be retrieved, representing the performance characteristic of the second device. The first device may communicate over the network with the second device in accordance with the performance characteristic of the second device. | 07-02-2009 |
20090168643 | Method and Apparatus for Transparent Auto-Recovery in Chain and Ring Networks - The invention described herein provides a system and method for fault isolation and auto-recovery in chained loop or ring networking systems ( | 07-02-2009 |
20090106338 | Pseudorandom Number Generation - A system and method of for obtaining a pseudorandom number generator are disclosed. A set of state modules, each with a limit value, may be provided. In an embodiment, each of the limit values may be relatively prime to the other limit values. In response to one or more events, the values of the state modules are incremented. At some frequency that may be statistically independent from the occurrence of the one or more events, the values of the state modules are obtained and combined to form a random number. The values may be combined as desired and, if desired, may be combined modulo 2 | 04-23-2009 |
