20110099172 | DOCUMENT EXPOSURE TRACKING PROCESS AND SYSTEM - A system and process to allow more accurate tracking of attention received by an electronic document via a display screen. The process, and the system that implements the process: maps a machine readable document into data segments; defines a list of data segment indicators corresponding to the data segments; determines a portion of the machine readable document truncated to a occupy view port; and associates an attention value with the data segment indicators corresponding to the presence of the data segments available to the view port. The present invention may further utilize the track list to monitor the availability of machine readable documents, truncated or not, in the view port, and tint the machine readable document accordingly. | 04-28-2011 |
20110099468 | DOCUMENT DISPLAY SYSTEM - A document display system and method for enhancing the effectiveness of a user interface includes one or more tiles, a spatial modifier, and a variable display region.

20150163923 | Sub-micron Laser Patterning of Graphene and 2D Materials - An appropriately configured pulsed laser is focused onto a graphene sheet and is used to form a desired pattern in the graphene. When the laser pulse strikes the graphene, it modifies the bonding state of the carbon atoms in the graphene lattice, acting as a “blade” and causing a separation in the graphene sheet at the site of the laser pulse without causing damage to the surrounding graphene. The width of the separation, or “cut” in the graphene sheet can be controlled by controlling characteristics of the laser pulse such as beam shape, beam intensity, pulse width, repetition rate, and wavelength to produce a graphene material having desired electrical, optical, thermal, and/or mechanical properties. | 06-11-2015 |

20130124932 | Solid-State Disk Manufacturing Self Test - A Solid-State Disk (SSD) Manufacturing Self Test (MST) capability enables an SSD manufacturer to generate and load tests onto SSDs, run the tests, and gather results. The SSDs self execute the loaded tests when powered up. The self executing is while coupled to a host that loaded the tests or while coupled to a rack unable to load the tests but enabled to provide power to the SSDs. The rack is optionally cost-reduced to enable cost-efficient parallel testing of relatively larger numbers of SSDs for production. The host writes the tests to an ‘input’ SMART log of each SSD, and each SSD writes results to a respective included ‘output’ SMART log. The commands include write drive, erase drive, SATA PHY burn-in, delay, and stress mode. The SSD MST capability is optionally used in conjunction with an SSD virtual manufacturing model. | 05-16-2013 |

The manufacturing software tool enables download of the FW images into an I/O device and controlling a manufacturing test of the I/O device that is a storage device providing a storage capability. Execution of the downloaded FW images enables an I/O controller of the I/O device to provide the storage capability via operation with one or more selected types of flash memory devices. The selected types are selected from a plurality of flash memory types that the I/O controller is capable of operating with by executing appropriate ones of the FW images. Optionally the manufacturing test includes testing the storage capability of the I/O device. The techniques further include an SSD manufacturing self-test capability. | 02-27-2014 |
