| 20080305643 | Method For the Removal of Doped Surface Layers on the Back Faces of Crystalline Silicon Solar Wafers - The invention relates to a method for the one-sided removal of a doped surface layer on rear sides of crystalline silicon solar wafers. In accordance with the object set, doped surface layers should be able to be removed from rear sides of such solar wafers in a cost-effective manner and with a handling which is gentle on the substrate. In addition, the front side should not be modified. In accordance with the invention, an etching gas is directed onto the rear side surface of silicon solar wafers with a plasma atmospheric pressure. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090133628 | VACUUM DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS PROCESSING OF SUBSTRATES - A continuous vacuum system for processing substrates has an inlet air lock, an outlet air lock, at least one process chamber, and a device for conveying the substrates through the continuous system. To create a continuous system having a compact design and high throughput for plasma-enhanced treatment of substrates at a reduced pressure, which ensures a simple, rapid and secure handling of the substrates with a high capacity of the substrate carrier, the conveying device has at least one plasma boat in which the substrates are arranged on a base plate in a three-dimensional stack in at least one plane at a predefined distance from one another with intermediate carriers in between. At least the intermediate carriers are made of graphite or another suitable electrically conductive material and can be acted upon electrically with an alternating voltage via an electric connection. | 05-28-2009 |

| 20080285571 | Media Data Processing Using Distinct Elements for Streaming and Control Processes - A hardware accelerated streaming arrangement, especially for RTP real time protocol streaming, directs data packets for one or more streams between sources and destinations, using addressing and handling criteria that are determined in part from control packets and are used to alter or supplement headers associated with the stream content packets. A programmed control processor responds to control packets in RTCP or RTSP format, whereby the handling or direction of RTP packets can be changed. The control processor stores data for the new addressing and handling criteria in a memory accessible to a hardware accelerator, arranged to store the criteria for multiple ongoing streams at the same time. When a content packet is received, its addressing and handling criteria are found in the memory and applied, by action of the network accelerator, without the need for computation by the control processor. The network accelerator operates repetitively to continue to apply the criteria to the packets for a given stream as the stream continues, and can operate as a high date rate pipeline. The processor can be programmed to revise the criteria in a versatile manner, including using extensive computation if necessary, because the processor is relieved of repetitive processing duties accomplished by the network accelerator. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090077333 | DOUBLE DEGRADED ARRAY PROTECTION IN AN INTEGRATED NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE DEVICE - In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for accessing a physical storage-device array comprising a plurality of storage devices. The method includes (1) obtaining at least one parameter from a profile selected from two or more profiles concurrently defining two or more virtual arrays, each profile defining (i) a different virtual array associated with a corresponding set of storage devices and (ii) a parameter set of one or more parameters used for accessing the virtual array; and (2) generating an instruction, based on the at least one parameter, for accessing, or disallowing access to, information in the virtual array defined by the selected profile, wherein a parameter in each the parameter set defined by each profile indicates whether two or more storage devices in the corresponding virtual array are degraded. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090147787 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RTP EGRESS STREAMING USING COMPLEMENTARY DIRECTING FILE - A hardware accelerated streaming arrangement, especially for RTP real time protocol streaming, employs a directing file determining the pointers, header lengths and offsets of a block of one or more data packets to be sent out through a network accelerated streaming system. The directing file is established by a control processor, for example working in the background, and is stored to provide information making it possible to determine certain information including header sizes and pointers to RTP payload and other data, without the need during egress of the data for analysis related to the type of media or protocol concerned. This relieves the control processor of functions that would otherwise require attention, and permits the egress process to proceed in a repetitive manner, preferably relying insofar as possible on hardware elements for speed and reserving the control processors computational capacity for control functions that may be more complex but are infrequent and/or not time sensitive for streaming in real time. | 06-11-2009 |
