| 20110059596 | SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER COAT LAYERS AND METHODS THEREFOR - Formulations and processes for forming wafer coat layers are disclosed. In one embodiment, an organic surface protectant is incorporated into a wafer coat formulation deposited onto a semiconductor wafer prior to the laser scribe operation. Upon removal of the wafer coat layer, the organic surface protectant remains on the bumps and thereby prevents oxidation of the bumps between die prep and chip and attach. In an alternative embodiment, an ultraviolet light absorber is added to the wafer coat formulation to enhance the wafer coat layer's energy absorption and thereby improve the laser's ability to ablate the wafer coat layer. In an alternative embodiment, a conformal wafer coat layer is deposited on the wafer and die bumps, thereby reducing wafer coat layer thickness variations that can impact the laser scribing ability. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20080232270 | Systems and arrangements for power conservation in network devices - Arrangements for a reduced power consumption network device are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device can join the network by communicating with a second network compatible device. After the network connection is made the device can place communication configuration or network status processing components in a low power mode until the device detects an indication of a status change in a communication from the second device. When the status change is detected the device can activate the status processing components that were placed in the low power mode and these processing components can process the status change information to change a communication configuration. Significant power saving can be achieved by placing such components into the sleep mode. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20120005501 | System and Method for Maintaining Connectivity to Remote Application Servers - A system and method for maintaining connectivity between a host system running an Always-On-Always-Connected (AOAC) application and an associated remote application server. The system further includes circuitry configured to establish a communication link between the host system and the remote application server. The circuitry is configured periodically transmit keep-alive messages to the remote application server after the host system transitions to and remains in a low-power state. The keep-alive messages are configured to maintain connectivity and presence of the AOAC application with the remote application server while the host system is in the low-power state. | 01-05-2012 |

| 20080218413 | MILLIMETER-WAVE COMMUNICATION STATIONS WITH DIRECTIONAL ANTENNAS AND METHODS FOR FAST LINK RECOVERY - Embodiments of millimeter-wave communication stations with directional antennas and methods for fast link recovery are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a transmitting station retransmits a packet in an adjacent direction when an acknowledgement is not received from a receiving station after a number of retransmission attempts. In other embodiments, a receiving station changes its reception to an adjacent direction when a packet is not received from a transmitting station after a number of missed reservations. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20110119483 | Computing System With Off-Load Processing For Networking Related Tasks - A method is described that comprises executing a service selection method on an off load processor of a computing system to select an available network service for handling traffic sent to/from a handheld device. The execution of the service selection method is performed while a main CPU of said computing system is in a low power state. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20110173639 | STORAGE-SYSTEM-BASED DRIVER DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A method for distributing drivers from a storage system to one or more host systems includes maintaining, in a storage system, a driver database containing drivers for different host systems. The drivers enable the different host systems to effectively communicate with the storage system. The method further determines whether a specific host system is configured with an appropriate driver. In the event the specific host system is not configured with the appropriate driver, the method retrieves the appropriate driver from the driver database. The method then transmits the appropriate driver from the storage system to the specific host system for installation thereon. By using the storage system as a central repository for the latest device drivers, the method ensures that connected host systems are always configured with the latest drivers. A corresponding apparatus, system, and computer program product are also disclosed herein. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110252280 | INTELLIGENT LUN GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT - An apparatus for generating and managing logical units (LUNs) in a storage network environment is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such an apparatus includes an identification module to identify a type of LUN, one or more servers that will access the LUN, and a storage system that will host the LUN. A mapping module maps the type, the one or more servers, and the storage system to one more abbreviations. A naming module then generates a LUN name that encapsulates the abbreviations. An assignment module may then assign the LUN name to the LUN. A corresponding method and computer program product are also disclosed herein. | 10-13-2011 |
