20100020596 | NON-VOLATILE MAGNETIC MEMORY DEVICE - A non-volatile magnetic memory cell having a magnetic element with multiple segments which are not co-linear. Each of the segments is magnetized with a remnant magnetic field using a single write line. The segments can be magnetized in a first direction or a second direction, corresponding to first and second orientations of the memory cell. A sensor is provided to determine the direction in which the segments are magnetized and thereby the orientation of the cell. The segments are oriented such that the magnetic flux fields created by their respective remnant magnetic fields have a cumulative effect at a sensing region of the sensor. The cumulative effect allows a less sensitive sensor to be used than in known device. In various embodiments, the magnetic element can have a number of linear segments or a curved profile. In another embodiment, multiple magnetic elements are magnetized by a single write line. The multiple magnetic elements are arranged such that remnant magnetic field stored in them can be cumulatively sensed. In another embodiment, the magnetic element is arranged to be magnetized in a single general direction, but is shaped such that magnetic flux lines emanate from it in different directions. The different directions are arranged to direct flux lines through the sensing region of a sensor, which measures their cumulative effect. | 01-28-2010 |

20150294895 | LOCALIZED REGION OF ISOLATED SILICON OVER DIELECTRIC MESA - An integrated circuit is formed by forming an isolation mesa over a single crystal substrate which includes silicon, and forming a first epitaxial layer on the substrate by a selective epitaxial process so that a top surface of the first epitaxial layer is coplanar with the top surface of the isolation mesa. A non-selective epitaxial process forms single-crystalline silicon-based semiconductor material on the first epitaxial layer and non-crystalline silicon-based material on the isolation mesa. A cap layer is formed over the second epitaxial layer, and a radiantly-induced recrystallization process causes the non-crystalline silicon-based material to form single-crystalline semiconductor over the isolation mesa. | 10-15-2015 |
20150294901 | LOCALIZED REGION OF ISOLATED SILICON OVER RECESSED DIELECTRIC LAYER - An integrated circuit is formed by forming an isolation recess in a single crystal substrate which includes silicon, filling the isolation recess with isolation dielectric material, and planarizing the isolation dielectric material to be coplanar with the top surface of the substrate to form a buried isolation layer. A non-selective epitaxial process forms single-crystalline silicon-based semiconductor material on exposed areas of the substrate and polycrystalline or amorphous silicon-based material on the buried isolation layer. A cap layer is formed over the epitaxial silicon-based material, and a radiantly-induced recrystallization process causes the polycrystalline or amorphous silicon-based material to form single-crystalline semiconductor over the buried isolation layer. | 10-15-2015 |
20150294902 | ISOLATED SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER IN BULK WAFER BY LOCALIZED SILICON EPITAXIAL SEED FORMATION - An integrated circuit may be formed by forming a buried isolation layer in an isolation recess in a single-crystal silicon-based substrate. Exposed lateral surfaces of the substrate at the buried isolation layer are covered with a dielectric sidewall. A seed trench is formed through the buried isolation layer to expose the substrate. A single-crystal silicon-based seed layer is formed through the seed trench, extending above the top surface of the buried isolation layer. A silicon-based non-crystalline layer is formed contacting the seed layer. A cap layer is formed over the non-crystalline layer. A radiant-induced recrystallization process converts the non-crystalline layer to a single-crystal layer aligned with the seed layer. The cap layer is removed and the single-crystal layer is planarized, leaving an isolated semiconductor layer over the buried isolation layer. | 10-15-2015 |
20150294983 | ISOLATED SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER OVER BURIED ISOLATION LAYER - An integrated circuit may be formed by forming an isolation recess in a single-crystal silicon-based substrate. Sidewall insulators are formed on sidewalls of the isolation recess. Thermal oxide is formed at a bottom surface of the isolation recess to provide a buried isolation layer, which does not extend up the sidewall insulators. A single-crystal silicon-based semiconductor layer is formed over the buried isolation layer and planarized to be substantially coplanar with the substrate adjacent to the isolation recess, thus forming an isolated semiconductor layer over the buried isolation layer. The isolated semiconductor layer is laterally separated from the substrate. | 10-15-2015 |

20120297089 | Systems and Methods of Mapped Network Address Translation - A private customer IP address is mapped to a public NAT address using a repeatable, reversible algorithm. A given private IP address must always map to the same public IP address and a fixed range of source ports.

20130232574 | Systems and Methods of DNS Grey Listing - To circumvent being blacklisted by an ISP, some viruses use a domain name generator algorithm or a domain generator algorithm (DGA). In an example, the DGA may use the current date and time to generate a random domain name based on the date. So for a given date, the botnet registers a particular domain in order to control the Trojan horse virus. The domain name that the botnet uses typically changes every day, which helps circumvent blacklisting. To counteract that, the disclosed systems and methods of DNS greylisting place a domain name in a grey list for a time period, for example a day, that the domain is resolved by the ISP. The first time the ISP experiences a customer trying to contact a particular domain, the ISP prevents the domain from resolving. After the time period (for example, 24 hours) expires, the domain is allowed to resolve normally. | 09-05-2013 |
