A full wafer to full wafer integrated circuit fabrication process wherein substrate removal and replacement of one wafer is used to enable an accurate alignment of this wafer with features of a receiving wafer during a see through alignment step. The invention is disclosed in terms of a wafer of photo field effect transistors being combined with a wafer of circuit devices that attend the photo field effect transistor devices. Use of the invention with the different material combination option desired for a photodetector device and its attending circuitry is also disclosed. Advantages over the more conventional chip by chip combination of wafer devices are also disclosed.

Business applications running on a content delivery network (CDN) having a distributed application framework can create, access and modify state for each client. Over time, a single client may desire to access a given application on different CDN edge servers within the same region and even across different regions. Each time, the application may need to access the latest “state” of the client even if the state was last modified by an application on a different server. A difficulty arises when a process or a machine that last modified the state dies or is temporarily or permanently unavailable. The present invention provides techniques for migrating session state data across CDN servers in a manner transparent to the user. A distributed application thus can access a latest “state” of a client even if the state was last modified by an application instance executing on a different CDN server, including a nearby (in-region) or a remote (out-of-region) server.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to deploying components in a modular code runtime environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for deploying containers and container extensions in a modular code runtime environment, such as the Eclipse integrated development environment. In one embodiment, a container extension deployment system can include a container, a registry of container extensions slated for deployment in the container, and a deployment plug-in to a modular code runtime environment coupled to the registry. The deployment plug-in can include an extension point configured for use by other plug-ins. The extension point, in turn, can include container extensions slated for deployment in the container. Finally, the container extensions can include services that implement an interface for starting and stopping the services and libraries in an archive.

An aircraft fuel-gauging system has multiple gauging sensors in each tank divided into two groups. Each group of sensors connects with a respective processor. The processors are linked to provide a display in the cockpit to give an indication of fuel quantity derived from all the sensors. The two processors also provide separate, nominally-identical display indications of fuel quantity on a refuel panel on the exterior of the aircraft. The refueller can compare these two separate quantity indications with the flow meter in the fuel dispenser to confirm that the correct quantity has been dispensed.

A novel indium phosphide (InP) based heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is described. A II-VI compound, cadmium sulfide (CdS), is used as the emitter to improve the emitter injection efficiency and reduce recombination losses. The cadmium sulfide emitter is applied following the epitaxial growth of III-V compound collector and base regions. The large valence band discontinuity (.quadrature.E=0.75 eV) between CdS and InP allows InP to be used for both the base and collector material. Prior to cadmium sulfide deposition, the exposed surfaces of the epitaxial layers can be passivated with sulfur, further reducing the recombination losses.

An integrated cache architecture that has low power consumption, high noise immunity, and full support of an integrated validity/LRU cache write mode. The cache stores TAG, index and LRU information directly on a master word line, and cache line data on local word lines. The access information is made available early in the cycle, allowing the cache to disable local word lines that are not needed. By laying out the master and local word lines in a metal layer that substantially renders the stored data immune to overlaying noise sources, high frequency interconnections can be made over the cache without disturbing the stored data. The cache includes circuitry for efficiently updating the stored LRU information, such that a combined data validity/full LRU cache update protocol is supported.

A full wafer to full wafer integrated circuit apparatus wherein substrate removal and replacement on one wafer has been used to enable an accurate alignment of this wafer with features of a receiving wafer during a see through alignment step. The invention is disclosed in terms of a wafer of photo field effect transistors being combined with a wafer of circuit devices that attend the photo feed effect transistor devices. Use of the invention with the different material combination option desired for a photodetector device and its attending circuitry is also disclosed. Advantages over the more conventional chip by chip combination of wafer devices are also disclosed.

A vehicle guidance system is disclosed where the vehicle includes a steering wheel assembly including a steering wheel and a hub, the hub connected to a steering shaft rotatable about a steering wheel axis within a steering column for steering the vehicle. The vehicle guidance system includes a receiver for receiving a position indication signal, a steering controller for generating a steering control signal based on the position indication signal and a drive assembly to directly drive the steering wheel assembly responsive to the steering control signal. The drive assembly generates a torque about a drive axis to rotate the steering wheel assembly, wherein the drive axis of the drive assembly is coaxial to the steering wheel axis.

An apparatus and method for accurately making a limbal relaxing incision. An example universal limbal relaxing guide (ULRIG) includes an inner rotating ring, a measurement gauge, a base unit and bumpers. The inner rotating ring and measurement gauge rotate concentrically relative to the base unit. The inner ring guides a keratome along an arc of constant radius. The measurement gauge enables the user to select the length of the arc and the bumpers prevent the keratome from overshooting the desired incision length. Because the thin degree ring rotates relative to the base unit, the example ULRIG can be used with more than one style of keratome. Multiple marks on a pointing bumper enable the user to adjust the resultant incision length for the cornea size of an individual patient.
