| 20100243306 | HIGH RATE SELECTIVE POLYMER GROWTH ON A SUBSTRATE - Method and systems provide growth of polymer structures at a high rate in a selective manner. In various embodiments, the method or system can expose the growth site to a polymer source and growing a polymer tube at a rate of at least 80 micrometer per hour at the growth site. The method or system can provide selectivity by providing a growth site on a substrate by patterning a metal, such as copper, that provides a seed site for the polymer. Non-selected sites can be coated with a polymer growth inhibitor, such as polyimide or silicon nitride. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20120126415 | Filling Cavities in Semiconductor Structures - High aspect ratio trenches may be filled with metal that grows more from the bottom than the top of the trench. As a result, the tendency to form seams or to close off the trench at the top during filling may be reduced in some embodiments. Material that encourages the growth of metal may be formed in the trench at the bottom, while leaving the region of the trench near the top free of such material to encourage growth upwardly from the bottom. | 05-24-2012 |

| 20100167532 | METHOD OF HIGH ASPECT RATIO PLUG FILL - A method of plug fill for high aspect ratio plugs wherein a nucleation layer is formed at a bottom of a via and not on the sidewalls. The plug fill is in the direction from bottom to top of the via and not inwards from the sidewalls. The resulting plug is voidless and seamless. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20090128483 | ADVANCED NAVIGATION TECHNIQUES FOR PORTABLE DEVICES - The present invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates navigating smoothly and gracefully through any type of content viewable on portable devices such as cell-phones, PDAs, and/or any other hybrids thereof. In addition, such navigation can be performed while preserving perspective and context with respect to a larger amount of content. Pointing devices can also be used to navigate through content—the amount or detail of the content being dependant on the speed of the pointing device. Additionally, a semi-transparent overview of content can be overlaid a zoomed-in portion of content to provide perspective to the zoomed in portion. Content shown in the semi-transparent overview can depend on the location of the pointing device with respect to the content. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20110314555 | ABSTRACTIONS AND AUTOMATION FOR ENHANCED SHARING AND COLLABORATION - The present invention provides methods for using abstractions of people, including dynamic and static groups of people, to enhance the efficiency of the specification and automation of policies for sharing information between users with a “need-to-know.” An instance of the present invention can also provide these users information based on a “time-to-know.” By providing access to information based on group affiliation and properties of the content of the information, the present invention maintains optimal information privacy while minimizing encumbrances to sharing data with appropriate users and even at appropriate times. The present invention can be integrated with other communication technologies to facilitate access to information in a time appropriate manner. Other instances of the present invention employ automated and semi-automated, mixed-initiative techniques, to make information-sharing decisions. Additional instances of the present invention include the employment of machine-learning techniques to facilitate construction of access policies from the actions or profile of a single user or a community of users, including the construction of automated sharing agents that work in an automated or mixed-initiative manner to respond to real-time requests for information. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20100246827 | USER-SPECIFIED SHARING OF DATA VIA POLICY AND/OR INFERENCE FROM A HIERARCHICAL CRYPTOGRAPHIC STORE - The claimed subject matter relates to architectures that can construct a hierarchical set of decryption keys for facilitating user-controlled encrypted data storage with diverse accessibility and hosting of that encrypted data. In particular, a root key can be employed to derive a hierarchical set of decryption keys and a corresponding hierarchical set of encryption keys. Each key derived can conform to a hierarchy associated with encrypted data of the user, and the decryption capabilities of the decryption keys can be configured based upon a location or assignment of the decryption key within the hierarchy. The cryptographic methods can be joined with a policy language that specifies sets of keys for capturing preferences about patterns of sharing. These policies about sharing can themselves require keys for access and the policies can provide additional keys for other aspects of policy and or base-level accesses. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20080213777 | Tumor suppressor pathway in C. elegans - The invention provides novel lin-8, lin-56, and lin-61 genes and polypeptides involved in cell fate determination and in cell proliferation. In addition, the invention includes mutants of these three genes, as well as methods for utilizing these genes, and their encoded polypeptides, in diagnosing and treating abnormal cell proliferation. | 09-04-2008 |
