| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8085493 | Contactless method for power and communications in a tape library A tape library is provided with a fixed coupling mechanism so that the tape library includes discrete locations via which power and communication are provided to an accessor. The use of such a coupling mechanism in a vertical tape library allows for the use of gravi... | 12/27/2011 |
| 7895558 | Configuration specification language supporting arbitrary mapping functions for configuration constructs A method is disclosed of associating a mapping function with a configuration construct of a digital design defined by one or more hardware description language (HDL) files. According to the method, in the HDL files, a configuration latch is specified within a design... | 02/22/2011 |
| 7772096 | Formation of SOI by oxidation of silicon with engineered porosity gradient A method is provided for making a silicon-on-insulator substrate. Such method can include epitaxially growing a highly p-type doped silicon-containing layer onto a major surface of an underlying semiconductor region of a substrate. Subsequently, a non-highly p-type ... | 08/10/2010 |
| 7602068 | Dual-damascene process to fabricate thick wire structure A method and semiconductor device. In the method, at least one partial via is etched in a stacked structure and a border is formed about the at least one partial via. The method further includes performing thick wiring using selective etching while continuing via et... | 10/13/2009 |
| 7471684 | Preventing asynchronous ARP cache poisoning of multiple hosts A method and system for preventing address resolution protocol (ARP) cache poisoning in a network system with multiple hosts.
