| 20090108486 | Method and apparatus for smoothening rough edges of lithographic patterns - A method and an apparatus for smoothening rough edges of lithographic patterns on semiconductor wafers and thus improving quality of the elements that constitute the target pattern by softening the surface layer of the rough edges to the extent at which smoothening may occur under the effect of forces of surface tension. The pattern is treated under normal pressure in the atmosphere of a phase of the aforementioned organic substance selected from vapor of an organic vapor or mist of organic substance in nitrogen or another gas. Two modes are possible: 1) direct diffusion of organic molecules into the surface layer of the pattern material; or 2) condensation onto the pattern surface with the formation of an extremely thin organic film, which also leads to diffusion of the organic molecules into the pattern material. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20090175282 | Using a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Channel to Save Power for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) That Use User Datagram Protocol (UDP) - Provided is a method for maintaining a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection between a mobile device and a server over a wireless network in a manner that conserves the power supply of the mobile device and is suitable for connections that employ server-initiated traffic. After a successful login to a VPN server, a VPN client establishes a Transport Control Protocol (TCP) connection and a UDP connection with the server. After a power timeout, the server calculates the elapsed time between the current transmission and the last tunnel traffic. If the elapsed time exceeds a power timeout value, the VPN server transmits a simple control message to the client via the TCP channel. The client then reestablishes the UDP connection to the client and the server resumes transmission on the reestablished UDP channel. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100157867 | Pausing Keep-Alive Messages and Roaming for Virtual Private Networks on Handheld Devices to Save Battery Power - Provided is a method, system and programming product for maintaining a connection between a mobile device and a server over a wireless network in a manner that conserves the power supply of the mobile device. The claimed subject matter addresses the transmission of regular “keep-alive” packets to refresh a network address translation (NAT) server and the scanning for and connecting to faster, higher priority network connections. A configurable parameter, or power timeout, specifies an idle time. When a period of time equal to the parameter has passed with no traffic between the mobile device and the server, in either direction, periodic roaming scans and keep-alive messages are halted. As soon as traffic is resumed through the tunnel, the mobile device roams to the highest priority connection and roaming scans and keep-alive messages are resumed. | 06-24-2010 |
