| 20080250267 | Method and system for coordinated multiple cluster failover - Hyperclusters are a cluster of clusters. Each cluster has associated with it one or more resource groups, and independent node failures within the clusters are handled by platform specific clustering software. The management of coordinated failovers across dependent or independent resources running on heterogeneous platforms is contemplated. A hypercluster manager running on all of the nodes in a cluster communicates with platform specific clustering software regarding any failure conditions, and utilizing a rule-based decision making system, determines actions to take on the node. A plug-in extends exit points definable in non-hypercluster clustering technologies. The failure notification is passed to other affected resource groups in the hypercluster. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20080305407 | MASK FILM TO FORM RELIEF IMAGES AND METHOD OF USE - A mask-forming film has a transparent layer between the imageable layer and the carrier sheet, which transparent layer has a refractive index that is lower (by at least 0.04) than that of the carrier sheet or any immediately adjacent layer between it and the carrier sheet. This lower refractive index layer modifies the path of incident radiation during mask image transfer so as to provide steeper shoulder angles in the relief image solid areas. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20100167209 | METHOD OF USING MASK FILM TO FORM RELIEF IMAGES - A mask-forming film has a transparent layer between the imageable layer and the carrier sheet, which transparent layer has a refractive index that is lower (by at least 0.04) than that of the carrier sheet or any immediately adjacent layer between it and the carrier sheet. This lower refractive index layer modifies the path of incident radiation during mask image transfer so as to provide steeper shoulder angles in the relief image solid areas. This mask film is used to form a relief image such as in a flexographic printing plate. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20090236664 | INTEGRATION SCHEME FOR CONSTRAINED SEG GROWTH ON POLY DURING RAISED S/D PROCESSING - A method for constraining lateral growth of gate caps formed during an epitaxial silicon growth process to achieve raised source/drain regions on poly silicon is presented. The method is appropriate for integration into a manufacturing process for integrated circuit semiconductor devices. The method utilizes selective etch processes, dependant upon the material comprising the protective layer (hard mask) over the gate and the material of the spacers, e.g., oxide mask/nitride spacers, or nitride mask/oxide spacers. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090280579 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING EMBEDDED MATERIAL/GATE PROXIMITY - A method that includes forming a gate of a semiconductor device on a substrate and forming a recess for an embedded silicon-straining material in source and drain regions for the gate. In this method, a proximity value, which is defined as a distance between the gate and a closest edge of the recess, is controlled by controlling formation of an oxide layer provided beneath the gate. The method can also include feedforward control of process steps in the formation of the recess based upon values measured during the formation of the recess. The method can also apply feedback control to adjust a subsequent recess formation process performed on a subsequent semiconductor device based on the comparison between a measured proximity value and a target proximity value to decrease a difference between a proximity value of the subsequent semiconductor device and the target proximity value. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100151660 | METHOD FOR FORMING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES WITH ACTIVE SILICON HEIGHT VARIATION - A method for forming different active thicknesses on the same silicon layer includes masking the silicon layer and exposing selected regions of the silicon layer. The thickness of the silicon layer at the exposed regions is changed, either by adding silicon or subtracting silicon from the layer at the exposed regions. Once the mask is removed, the silicon layer has regions of different active thicknesses, respectively suitable for use in different types of devices, such as diodes and transistors. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20090177654 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LEVERAGING MEDIA VIA USER RATING DATA - A method and system for leveraging user media file rating data. In one aspect, the system comprises a component in communication with a plurality of media file related services, a rating storage, and a component for making the user rating data available to be used by plural services so that each respective service can use the rating data to tailor a user experience during interaction by the particular user with the respective service. In one aspect, the user preference rating is received from any of the media file related services. In one aspect the user preference rating information and the associated media file information are associated with a particular user regardless of the respective media file related service the preference rating was received from. | 07-09-2009 |
