| 20080216048 | Yield Profile Manipulator - A graphical profile map for integrated circuits on a substrate. The graphical profile map includes a depiction of die placement boundaries and shot placement boundaries for the integrated circuits on the substrate. Also included are integrated circuit property information contours, where the contours are not limited to either of the die placement boundaries or the shot placement boundaries. In this manner, three key pieces of information for the integrated circuits are presented, including integrated circuit property information, die placement, and shot placement. Because these three pieces of information are presented in a graphical form, it is much easier to interpret the information. For example, it is much easier to determine which shot and die placements have properties that are at risk, and which shot and die placements have adequate property profiles. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20090077506 | Simultaneous Multi-Layer Fill Generation - Techniques are disclosed for optimizing the pattern density in the circuit layout design of a circuit layer. A layer in circuit design is analyzed to define empty regions that can be filled with fill polygons (referred to hereafter as “fill” regions). Next, a pattern of fill polygons is generated. After the fill polygons have been defined, the layout design for the layer is divided into separate areas or “windows,” and a target density for each window is determined. Once this target density for the window has been determined, the fill polygons required to most closely approach this target density are generated and added to the circuit layout design. This process may be repeated with progressively different (e.g., smaller) fill polygons, until each window meets or exceeds both the specified minimum density and complies with the specified maximum density gradient. Additionally, some implementations may allow a user to simultaneously optimize the density of multiple layers of a circuit by adding fill polygons to multiple layers of a circuit design simultaneously. Representations of sections of a multilayer fill structure will then be added to corresponding layers the circuit design until a specified target density is met. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20090249330 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HYPERVISOR SECURITY CODE - Disclosed is a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for regulating received data in a multiple operating system environment on an I/O adapter. The method includes a hypervisor for determining that the I/O adapter indicated a receive completion. The hypervisor, responsive to retrieving the receive completion, determines that the receive completion is associated with a successful status. The hypervisor, determines in hypervisor space whether an at least one data packet satisfies a security criterion. The hypervisor, routes the data packet to at least one selected from a group consisting of an operating system partition of the multiple operating system environment and a network address on a local area network. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090271494 | Method, System and Program Product for Providing Server Security Via A Security Sensor Application Shared by Multiple Operating System Partitions - When a hypervisor in a computer server receives input/output (I/O) data traffic, the hypervisor sends the I/O data traffic to a security sensor application shared by multiple operating system (OS) partitions. If the security sensor application indicates that the I/O data traffic meets pre-defined security standards in the security sensor application, and the I/O data traffic is addressed to one of the OS partitions in the computer server, the hypervisor sends the I/O data traffic to the applicable OS partition. If the I/O data traffic meets the pre-defined security standards, and the I/O data traffic is not addressed to one of the OS partitions, the hypervisor sends the I/O data traffic to an external destination in a network coupled to the computer server. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20100127008 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRESSURIZING CONTAINERS - A container, such as a bottle or jar, that includes a closed compartment and an active insert device for pressurizing the closed compartment. The active insert device comprises an elastic liner and an active insert that are affixed to a closure or cap or the container. The active insert includes at least one reactant that is triggered to a reaction by an external energy source. The reaction produces a gas, which is delivered to the closed compartment via the liner. The gas causes the liner to expand and open a passage to deliver the gas to the closed compartment. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20100058583 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING IMPLANTABLE WIRELESS SENSOR FOR IN VIVO PRESSURE MEASUREMENT - A method of manufacturing a sensor for in vivo applications includes the steps of providing two wafers of an electrically insulating material. A recess is formed in the first wafer, and a capacitor plate is formed in the recess of the first wafer. A second capacitor plate is formed in a corresponding region of the second wafer, and the two wafers are affixed to one another such that the first and second capacitor plates are arranged in parallel, spaced-apart relation. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20120124306 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING BACKUP OR RESTORE OPERATIONS UTILIZING DIFFERENCE INFORMATION AND TIMELINE STATE INFORMATION - Systems and methods for backing-up data from a first storage pool to a second storage pool using difference information between time states are disclosed. The system has a data management engine for performing data management functions, including at least a back-up function to create a back-up copy of data. By executing a sequence of snapshot operations to create point-in-time images of application data on a first storage pool, each successive point-in-time image corresponding to a specific, successive time-state of the application data, a series of snapshots is created. The snapshots are then used to create difference information indicating which application data has changed and the content of the changed application data for the corresponding time state. This difference information is then sent to a second storage pool to create a back-up copy of data for the current time-state. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20110232973 | WEIGH-IN-MOTION TECHNOLOGY - A pad is disclosed for use in a weighing system for weighing a load. The pad includes a weighing platform, load cells, and foot members. Improvements to the pad reduce or substantially eliminate rotation of one or more of the corner foot members. A flexible foot strap disposed between the corner foot members reduces rotation of the respective foot members about vertical axes through the corner foot members and couples the corner foot members such that rotation of one corner foot member results in substantially the same amount of rotation of the other corner foot member. In a strapless variant one or more fasteners prevents substantially all rotation of a foot member. In a diagonal variant, a foot strap extends between a corner foot member and the weighing platform to reduce rotation of the foot member about a vertical axis through the corner foot member. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110232974 | PORTABLE WEIGHING SYSTEM - A system for weighing a load is disclosed. The weighing system includes a pad having at least one transducer for weighing a load disposed on the pad. In some embodiments the pad has a plurality of foot members and the weighing system may include a plate that disposed underneath the pad for receiving the plurality of foot member and for aligning the foot members when the weighing system is installed. The weighing system may include a spacer disposed adjacent the pad and in some embodiments, a spacer anchor operatively secures the spacer to a support surface, such as a plate, a railway bed, or a roadway. In some embodiments the spacer anchor operatively secures both the spacer and the pad to a roadway. | 09-29-2011 |
