A method to derive new facts from a collection of discrete facts is provided. The discrete facts are stored in a data structure that organizes each discrete fact based on classification, value, unit, validity range, and subject. The discrete facts may be stored in an inverted index to allow efficient retrieval of values associated with each discrete fact. A discrete-fact engine is utilized in conjunction with a search engine to respond to queries. The discrete-fact engine parses a query and utilizes a collection of policies to determine whether the query involves a computational requirement. The computational requirement included in the query may trigger calculations on a set of discrete facts that match terms included the query. The result of the calculations are derived facts.

An inductor formed within an integrated circuit and a method for forming the inductor. The inductor comprises an underlying layer of aluminum formed in a first metallization layer and patterned and etched into the desired shape. In one embodiment the aluminum line comprises a spiral shape. According to a damascene process, a conductive runner, preferably of copper, is formed in a dielectric layer overlying the aluminum line and in electrical contact therewith. The aluminum line and the conductive runner cooperate to form the inductor. In another embodiment the aluminum line and the conductive runner are formed in a vertically spaced-apart orientation, with tungsten plugs or conductive vias formed to provide electrical connection therebetween. A method for forming the inductor comprises forming an aluminum conductive line and forming a conductive runner over the conductive line.

A method and apparatus for determining whether an integrated circuit has been subjected to stress conditions during operation. The integrated circuit comprises a test device that is exposed to the same power supply voltage and temperature as other devices in the integrated circuit. Certain expected operating parameters, as a function of the operating life of the integrated circuit, are predetermined. If a measured value of the operating parameter exceeds the expected value then the integrated circuit has been subjected to stress conditions.

A hard disk drive comprising a plurality of read/write heads oriented to serially read data from the magnetic media of the disk drive. The head output signals are delayed and combined to provide a time aligned composite signal for determining the value of the data bits read from the disk drive. An improved signal-to-noise ratio is provided according to the teachings of the present invention by combining the signal components from the plurality of heads, as the signal components are added algebraically while the noise components are combined as root mean square values. Thus the overall signal-to-noise ratio is improved, resulting in a greater probability of correctly determining the stored data.

The oven door comprises a latching mechanism having a centrally located spring contained within a spring box to exert a force against said door. A pair of hinge links are pivotably connected to the door hinge shaft and to the spring box. A shaft link is keyed to said shaft and pivotably connected to a latch bar of a yoke type U configuration. A primary toggle link is located on either side of said spring box and pivotably connected on one end to said spring box and door hinge links and on the other end to the latch bar legs, means to limit rotation of primary toggle links and spring box around pivot connections is provided, a latching bracket is affixed to a stationary member for engaging latch bar to secure door to door chamber frame, and actuator means are provided for turning said shaft to open and close the door.In a preferred embodiment a pair of secondary toggle links are located one on either side of spring box, and pivotably connected at one end to latch bar connections which are common to primary toggle links, and at other end they are connected to a stem yoke mounted between said secondary toggle links, said stem yoke having a clearance hole for accepting a stem affixed to door. In operation to open the door, simultaneously with rotaton of shaft 10, shaft link 32 rotates through bored hinge links 22 to disengage latch bar 26 from latch bracket 42, primary toggle links 24 cross center line of door 2 and threaded stem 12, and continue until restrained by nuts 18 and the exerted force of spring 14 is relieved a predetermined amount.

The described implementations relate to distributed computing. One implementation provides a system that can include an outlier detection component that is configured to identify an outlier task from a plurality of tasks based on runtimes of the plurality of tasks. The system can also include a cause evaluation component that is configured to evaluate a cause of the outlier task. For example, the cause of the outlier task can be an amount of data processed by the outlier task, contention for resources used to execute the outlier task, or a communication link with congested bandwidth that is used by the outlier task to input or output data. The system can also include one or more processing devices configured to execute one or more of the components.
