| 20100282164 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE DURING MICROFEATURE WORKPIECE PROCESSING, E.G., CVD DEPOSITION - The present disclosure provides methods and systems for controlling temperature. The method has particular utility in connection with controlling temperature in a deposition process, e.g., in depositing a heat-reflective material via CVD. One exemplary embodiment provides a method that involves monitoring a first temperature outside the deposition chamber and a second temperature inside the deposition chamber. An internal temperature in the deposition chamber can be increased in accordance with a ramp profile by (a) comparing a control temperature to a target temperature, and (b) selectively delivering heat to the deposition chamber in response to a result of the comparison. The target temperature may be determined in accordance with the ramp profile, but the control temperature in one implementation alternates between the first temperature and the second temperature. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110136319 | Methods Of Forming Isolation Structures, And Methods Of Forming Nonvolatile Memory - Some embodiments include methods of forming isolation structures. A trench may be formed to extend into a semiconductor material. Polysilazane may be formed within the trench, and then exposed to steam. A maximum temperature of the polysilazane during the steam exposure may be less than or equal to about 500° C. The steam exposure may convert all of the polysilazane to silicon oxide. The silicon oxide may be annealed under an inert atmosphere. A maximum temperature of the silicon oxide during the annealing may be from about 700° C. to about 1000° C.

| 20100215175 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR STRIPE BLIND ENCRYPTION - Methods and systems are disclosed that relate to encrypting data of a data item for storing in a data storage system comprising a plurality of disks having stripes. A blinding factor is constructed based on a stripe blind that is assigned to a stripe with which the data item is associated and a unique identifier associated with the data item. A first logic operation is performed between the blinding factor and an encryption key to create a blinded encryption key for the data item. The data item is decrypted by identifying the stripe blind with the unique identifier and recreating the data item's blinding factor based on the stripe blind and the unique identifier. A second logic operation, which is selected based on the first logic operation, is performed between the blinding factor and the blinded encryption key to recreate the encryption key. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100217931 | MANAGING WORKFLOW COMMUNICATION IN A DISTRIBUTED STORAGE SYSTEM - In a data storage system having a plurality of storage nodes storing replicas of stripes, one storage node serves as a primary stripe node for a stripe. Client applications using the data storage system request operations affecting metadata stored in the stripe, and the data storage system creates workflow objects to implement the requested operation. Once the operation is completed, the workflow is acknowledged. A method for establishing a new primary stripe node comprises performing, by a selected storage node, a feasibility determination to determine the feasibility of the selected storage node becoming the new primary stripe node. It is feasible to become a new primary stripe node when doing so does not cause workflows that have been acknowledged, or that will be acknowledged, to result in strays. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100217953 | HYBRID HASH TABLES - A hash table system having a first hash table and a second hash table is provided. The first hash table may be in-memory and the second hash table may be on-disk. Inserting an entry to the hash table system comprises inserting the entry into the first hash table, and, when the first hash table reaches a threshold load factor, flushing entries into the second hash table. Flushing the first hash table into the second hash table may comprise sequentially flushing the first hash table segments into corresponding second hash table segments. When looking up a key/value pair corresponding to a selected key in the hash table system, the system checks both the first and second hash tables for values corresponding to the selected key. The first and second hash tables may be divided into hash table segments and collision policies may be implemented within the hash table segments. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100228784 | Methods and Systems for Single Instance Storage of Asset Parts - Methods and systems are disclosed that relate to single instance storage of asset parts utilizing a back reference count associated with each asset part. Entries in a journal associated with the asset parts reflect the intention to increment or decrement an asset part's back reference count. The journal may be used to maintain an accurate and reliable reference count for asset parts replicated across multiple disk drives in a distributed storage system, where the replication is structured to reduce the risk of data loss in the event of a disk drive failure. The journal entries may comprise generation numbers used to maintain a back reference count associated with an asset part and to verify a back reference count associated with an asset part. | 09-09-2010 |
