Abstract: Techniques are provided for initializing, maintaining, updating and recovering secure operation within an integrated system. The techniques, which employ a data access control function within the integrated system, include authenticating by a current level of software a next level of software within an integrated system. The authenticating occurs before control is passed to the next level of software. Further, an ability of the next level of software to modify an operational characteristic of the integrated system can be selectively limited via the data access control function. Techniques are also provided for initializing secure operation of the integrated system, for migrating data encrypted using a first key set to data encrypted using a second key set, for updating software and keys within the integrated system, and for recovering integrated system functionality following a trigger event.

Abstract: A method and system for searching a computerized network of databases (100) containing documents uses a web crawler. The web crawler is provided with conceptual guidelines before searching. The invention summarizes source content (300) and performs text clustering (31) on the summaries (304) to produce classifications (330). The text clustering is performed using seeds based on the conceptual guidelines. The classifications are then provided (34) through a user interface (510) to a user alont with a query entry to search the classifications and to direct the user to one or more fo the classifications, so that the user is directed to the classifications (and hyperlinks to the documents) and the user is not provided the documents themselves.

Abstract: A wavelength-locked loop servo-control circuit and methodology that enables real time mutual alignment of an electromagnetic signal having a peaked spectrum function including a center wavelength and a wavelength selective device implementing a peaked passband function including a center wavelength, in a system employing electromagnetic waves. The circuit comprises a mechanism for applying a dither modulation signal at a dither modulation frequency to the electromagnetic signal, and inputting the dither modulated electromagnetic signal to the wavelength selective device; a mechanism for converting a portion of the dither modulated electromagnetic signal to an electric feedback signal; a mechanism for continuouslz comparing the feedback signal with said dither modulation signal and generating an error signal representing a difference between a frequency characteristic of the feedback signal and a dither modulation frequency; and a mechanism for adjusting the peaked spectrum function of the electromagnetic signal according to the error signal. The center wavelength of the electromagnetic signal and the wavelength selective device center wavelength become aligned when the frequency characteristic of the feedback signal is two times the dither modulation frequency.

Abstract: A stacked via structure (200) adapted to transmit high frequency signals or high intensity current through conductive layers of an electronic device carrier is disclosed. The stacked via structure comprises at least three conductive tracks (205a, 205b, 205c) belonging to three adjacent conductive layers (110a, 110b, 110c) separated by dielectric layers (120), aligned according to z axis. Connections between these conductive tracks are done with at least two vias (210, 215) between each conductive layer. Vias connected to one side of a conductive track are disposed such that they are not aligned with the ones connected to the other side according to z axis. In a preferred embodiment, the shape of these aligned conductive tracks looks like a disk or an annular ring and four vias are used to connect two adjacent conductive layers. These four vias are symmetrically disposed on each of said conductive track. The position of the vias between a first and a second adjacent conductive layers and between a second and a third adjacent conductive layers forms an angle of 45° according to z axis.

Abstract: A process is defined whereby conditions such as usage metrics for incoming client requests (or other network conditions such as load balancing considerations) are monitored, and used to trigger dynamic deployment, redeployment, and/or undeployment of web services to locations in the network in order to improve efficiency. The undeployment may apply to distributed locations of a service and may also apply to an origin server from which the service was originally deployed. Service requests are dynamically routed to the destination where the service resides, in a manner which is transparent to the client. In an optional aspect, programmatic replication of system upgrades may be implemented by redeploying services using this same dynamic deployment approach, enabling the complexity of upgrading previously-deployed software to be reduced significantly. As another optional aspect, previously-deployed software may also be automatically and programmatically undeployed using disclosed techniques.

Abstract: An adjustable self aligned low capacitance integrated circuit air gap structure comprises a first interconnect (64a) adjacent a second interconnect (64b) on an interconnect level, spacers (60b, 60c) formed along adjacent sides of the first and second interconnects, and an air gap (68) formed between the first and second interconnects. The air gap extends above an upper surface (74a, 74b) of at least one of the first and second interconnects and below a lower surface (76a, 76b) of at least one of the first and second interconnects, and the distance between the spacers defines the width of the air gap. The air gap is self-aligned to the adjacent sides of the first and second interconnects.

Abstract: A method for processing images includes receiving a group of the images having similar characteristics, the group comprising multiple classes, such that each image belongs to one of the classes and comprises a fixed portion (32, 34, 36) common to all of the images in the class to which it belongs, and a variable portion (42), which distinguishes the image from the other images in the class. A reference area is found in the images, in which the fixed portion (44) of the images in a first one of the classes differs consistently from the fixed portion (46) of the images in a second one of the classes. The images are sorted into the classes based on the reference area.

Abstract: The present invention provides a FinFET device that has a first fin and a second fin. Each fin has a channel region and source and drain regions that extend from the channel region. The fins have different heights. The invention has a gate conductor positioned adjacent the fins. The gate conductor runs perpendicular to the fins and crosses the channel region of each of the first fin and second fin. The fins are parallel to one another. The ratio of the height of the first fin to the height of the second fin comprises a ratio of one to 2/3. The ratio is used to tune the performance of the transistor and determines the total channel width of the transistor.
