Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090008718STRESS ENHANCED CMOS CIRCUITS - A CMOS circuit is provided that includes a PMOS transistor, an NMOS transistor adjacent the PMOS transistor in a channel width direction, a compressive stress liner overlying the PMOS transistor, and a tensile stress liner overlying the NMOS transistor. A portion of the compressive stress liner and a portion of the tensile stress liner are in a stacked configuration, and an overlap region of the compressive stress liner and the tensile stress liner is sufficient to result in an enhanced transverse stress in the compressive stress liner or the tensile stress liner.01-08-2009
20090236664INTEGRATION 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
20090267152SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A semiconductor device is disclosed having a conductive gate structure overlying a semiconductor layer having a major surface. An isolation material is recessed within a trench region below the major surface of the semiconductor layer. An epitaxial layer is formed overlying a portion of the major surface and on an active region forming a sidewall of the trench.10-29-2009

20100146039System and Method for Providing Access to a Shared System Image - Systems and methods for providing data integrity for stored data are disclosed. A method may include associating a client with a first provisioning server selected from a plurality of provisioning servers communicatively coupled to the client. The method may also include creating a partition on a first logical unit communicatively coupled to the first provisioning server and associated with the client, the partition having a write space for data specific to the client. The method may further include the first provisioning server managing (a) input/output operations communicated between the client and the partition on the first logical unit and (b) input/output operations communicated between the client and a shared image common to the client and at least one other client, the shared image stored on a second logical unit.06-10-2010
20100268756SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO A SHARED SYSTEM IMAGE - Systems and methods for providing data integrity for stored data are disclosed. A method for providing access to a remote shared image may include receiving from a first provisioning server a request to create a write space for a client communicatively coupled to the first provisioning server. The message may further include creating a partition on a first logical unit disposed in a storage array, the first logical unit communicatively coupled to the first provisioning server and associated with the client. The method may additionally include storing a thin clone of a shared image on the partition, the shared image common to the client and at least one other client and stored on a second logical unit, the thin clone comprising a write space for data specific to the client.10-21-2010

20080294995SYSTEM AND METHOD OF AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING ANIMATED INSTALLATION MANUALS - An information management system is disclosed and includes a bootstrap server and at least one additional component. Further, the system includes an animated installation manual file stored within the bootstrap server. The animated installation manual is configured to be presented to a user upon an initial boot of the bootstrap server. Additionally, the animated installation manual can be automatically generated based on configuration information received from the user.11-27-2008
20090204758SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASYMMETRIC RAID DEVICES - An information handling system can include an asymmetric RAID device. The information handling system comprises a RAID controller and a RAID volume. The RAID volume includes a first disk and a second disk attached to the RAID controller, wherein the first disk provides faster access than the second disk. In a particular embodiment, the first disk is an SSD and the second disk is a HDD. The RAID controller may be configured to support symmetric or asymmetric write operations.08-13-2009

20090282200Storage Device Procurement System - A storage device procurement system for managing storage failure and full warnings and conditions to minimize a need for storage device inventory. Such a system minimizes a need for storage system administrators to be knowledgeable with procurement options and procedures. Such a system provides for an end-to-end automated storage device procurement system by combining elements of a direct order model with elements of storage array monitoring.11-12-2009
20110072069Systems and Methods for Providing a Desktop Image to an Information Handling System - An information handling system (IHS) is provided in the context of providing a desktop image. The IHS may include a storage device and a client device. The IHS may also include a management server configured to establish communication between the storage device and the client device. In addition, the client device may be configured to boot directly from the storage device and wherein the data communication occurs only between the storage device and the client device.03-24-2011
20110072233Method for Distributing Data in a Tiered Storage System - This disclosure provides a method for assigning data in a plurality of physical storage resources for an information handling system. The plurality of physical storage resources includes a first tier of physical storage resources and a second tier which has a lower performance and cost relative to capacity than each of the first tier. A tier manager may be hosted on the information handling system and in electronic communication with the plurality physical storage resources. The tier manager may: determine a seek distance value for each page, determine an operation rate for each page, determine an operation size value for each page, determine an elapsed time value for each page; and calculate a relative randomness value for each page using the seek distance value, operation rate, operation size value, and elapsed time value determined for each page. A classification module may assign a physical location for each page such that the relative randomness value for each page in the first tier is greater than the relative randomness value for each page in the second tier.03-24-2011
