20080301258 | Referential Integrity Across a Distributed Directory - A system and method for autonomically maintaining group referential integrity across a distributed directory. When a server receives an operation request from a client regarding an entry in the distributed directory, the server sends a request to the particular server containing the entry to be modified that instructs the server to modify the entry, but without performing a referential integrity check. The server then determines whether the request returned successfully. If so, the server sends a request to each server in the network to perform the requested operation on all group references for the entry, but without actually performing the requested operation on the entry itself. If all of these requests return successfully, the server notifies the requesting client that the requested operation has been performed. | 12-04-2008 |

An interrupt of the transaction is received while executing the transaction and, as a result, the transaction checkpoint data is stored to a data structure in a memory of the data processing system. A second portion of code is then executed. A state of the program registers is restored using the data structure in the memory of the data processing system in response to an event occurring causing a switch of execution of the processor back to execution of the transaction. | 04-05-2012 |

20150027955 | UTILIZATION OF TEMPERATURE HEAT ADSORPTION SKIN TEMPERATURE AS SCALE CONTROL REAGENT DRIVER - The invention provides methods, compositions, and apparatuses for preventing the formation of scale in heap leach process solution distribution systems comprised of piping, spray nozzels, or emitter tubes. Solution distribution system components often become fouled by scale because of local hot spots more prone to form scale than other locations along the systems length. Positioning sensors that detect periods of high temperature stress and adjusting scale control reagent dosage to send the right amount to inhibit hot spot deposition allows for the control of scale without using wasteful excessive amounts of scale control reagents. This can vastly improve scale control performance under high temperature stress conditions while minimizing scale control reagent waste under less severe stress conditions to reduce the total operating cost of running heap leach mining operations which depend upon well-functioning solution distribution systems. | 01-29-2015 |

20100258904 | BOTTLE-SHAPED TRENCH CAPACITOR WITH ENHANCED CAPACITANCE - In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a method is provided for fabricating a semiconductor chip including a trench capacitor. In such method, a monocrystalline semiconductor region can be etched in a vertical direction through an opening in a dielectric layer to form a trench exposing a rough surface of monocrystalline semiconductor material. The trench has an initial lateral dimension in a first direction transverse to the vertical direction. The semiconductor material exposed at the surface of the trench then is etched in a crystallographic orientation-dependent manner to expose a multiplicity of crystal facets of the semiconductor material at the trench surface. A dopant-containing liner may then be deposited to line the surface of the trench and a temperature of the substrate then be elevated to drive a dopant from the dopant-containing liner into the semiconductor region adjacent to the surface. During such step, typically a portion of the semiconductor material exposed at the wall is oxidized. At least some of the oxidized portion is removed to expose a wall of an enlarged trench, along which wall a dielectric layer and conductive material are formed in order to form a trench capacitor. | 10-14-2010 |
