20080229318Multi-objective allocation of computational jobs in client-server or hosting environments - A method of processing a computational job with a plurality of processors is disclosed. A request to process a job is received, where the job has a priority level associated with the job. A first group of the processors is designated as being available to process the job, where the number of processors in the first group is based on the priority level associated with the job. A second group of the processors is designated as being available to process the job, where for each processor in the second group a current utilization rate of the processor is less than a second predetermined utilization rate. Then, the job is processed with one or more of the processors selected from the first group of processors and the second group of processors.09-18-2008
20090238078AUTONOMIC PROVISIONING OF HOSTED APPLICATIONS WITH LEVEL OF ISOLATION TERMS - A method and a system are described that involve autonomic provisioning of hosted applications with level of isolation terms. In one embodiment, the system includes an infrastructure registry to provide a set of heterogeneous infrastructure resources, an autonomic provisioning service unit to select a subset of the heterogeneous infrastructure resources, (the subset of resources to fulfill a service level agreement (SLA) with a corresponding level of isolation), and a monitoring unit to collect information about the subset of resources and send the collected information to the autonomic provisioning service unit.09-24-2009

20100297801METHOD FOR PRODUCING ELECTRIC CONTACTS ON A SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENT - Process for producing strip-shaped and/or point-shaped electrically conducting contacts on a semiconductor component like a solar cell, includes the steps of applying a moist material forming the contacts in a desired striplike and/or point-like arrangement on at least one exterior surface of the semiconductor component; drying the moist material by heating the semiconductor component to a temperature T11-25-2010
20110165726METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR PRODUCING A FUNCTIONAL LAYER ON A SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENT - A method for producing at least one functional layer on at least one region of a surface of a semiconductor component by applying a liquid to at least the one region, where the functional layer has a layer thickness d07-07-2011
20110183524METHOD FOR CHEMICALLY TREATING A SUBSTRATE - A method for chemically treating a disc-shaped substrate having a bottom surface, a top surface and side surfaces by contacting a process medium that is fluid-chemically active with at least the bottom surface of the substrate. The substrate is moved relative to the process medium while forming a triple line between the substrate, the substrate medium and the atmosphere surrounding the substrate and medium. In order to chemically remove errors, particularly in the side surfaces, relative motion should be carried out while avoiding a contacting of the process medium with the top surface of the substrate, where the triple line is formed at a desired height of the side surface facing away from the process medium flow side in relation to the relative motion between the substrate and the process medium. In this way, the atmosphere can be adjusted in relation to the partial pressures of the components in the process medium such that the top surface preserves hydrophobic characteristics.07-28-2011

20110174375Solar module containing an encapsulated solar cell and method of providing an electrical connection through the encapsulation to deliver electrical energy - The solar module for converting radiation energy, in particular sunlight, into electrical energy, includes a solar cell (07-21-2011
20110278702METHOD FOR PRODUCING A DOPANT PROFILE - A method for producing a dopant profile is provided. The method includes starting from a surface of a wafer-shaped semiconductor component by introducing dopant atoms into the semiconductor component. The dopant-containing layer is produced on or in a region of the surface in order to produce a provisional first dopant profile and then a plurality of semiconductor components having a corresponding layer is subjected to heat treatment on top of one another in the form of a stack in order to produce a second dopant profile having a greater depth in comparison to the first dopant profile.11-17-2011

20100131234SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING AND MAPPING A SURFACE RELATIVE TO A REFERENCE - A system and method for measuring the displacement of a surface relative to a base reference, as well as for mapping the displacement of the surface relative to the base reference. A laser scanner generates point cloud data in respect of a measure of the spatial orientation of a distal surface relative to a reference point to define a three-dimensional image of the surface. Reference data is stored in respect of the spatial orientation of a base reference relative to the surface. processing means to process said point cloud data and said base reference data to determine the relative displacement of said surface with respect to said base reference. A system comprising: data processing means to obtain point cloud data defining a surface in a co-ordinate system coinciding with a base reference and to generate displacement data in respect of the displacement between each point of said point cloud and a related point of said base reference; comparison means to compare the displacement data against a prescribed threshold; and display means to graphically display the result of the comparison.05-27-2010

20120029969RISK MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS PROCESSES - Various embodiments of systems and methods for risk management of business processes are described herein. A system integrating process monitoring and automated risk management through a risk-annotated business process model is described. Such a risk would be computed for each of the possible path of execution of the business process. The source of such a data can be derived from other systems or be entered manually. A risk prediction rule is executed when a given event has happen. Depending on the current execution state of a business process instance, the risk is calculated from the probability and the impact. If the risk is over a certain threshold, some actions can be taken (e.g., stopping processes, initiate mitigation processes or notifying the business process owner).02-02-2012
