US Patent:

43452396, Aug 17, 1982

Filed:

Jun 20, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/161483

Inventors:

Brian J. Elliott - Yorktown Heights NY

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06K 922

US Classification:

3401463SY

Abstract:

An apparatus for determining pen acceleration for use in a signature vertification system. Capacitive transducer means are mounted in a pen, and change capacitance by an amount which is proportional to pen acceleration. A Blumlein bridge circuit is utilized to measure changes in the capacitance of the transducer means, and the output of the bridge is amplified and demodulated to result in a signal which is proportional to acceleration.

International Classification:

C30B 1520

US Classification:

156601

Abstract:

A method or technique is disclosed for predicting precisely where oxygen precipitation will occur in semiconductor wafers that are being processed in connection with integrated circuit manufacture; the technique is based upon the discovery that such precipitation will occur at resistivity peaks measured prior to any thermal treatment of the wafers. In other words, the technique permits characterizing the wafers by the diametral resistivity profile that is obtained in the initial resistivity measurements, whereby a change in oxygen precipitation can be predicted precisely where compensated intrinsic regions have been measured in the initial measurements.

Appl. No.:

5/493370

Inventors:

Brian John Elliott - Yorktown Heights NY

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H01P 122

US Classification:

333 81A

Abstract:

A coaxial attenuator, for attenuating baseband picosecond pulses with Fourier components in the high microwave frequency range and for calibrating pulse measuring instruments, is disclosed. A fast pulse, propagating along the attenuator, is split into two waves at a transition plane formed by an intermediate tubular conductor and an outer conductor. The purpose of the transitional plane is, in addition to splitting the incoming wave, to attenuate the wave. One of the attenuated waves propagates along the inside of the conductor of the intermediate section to a pulse measuring instrument for viewing. The other attenuated wave is delayed before propagating along the same intermediate conductor to be viewed on said viewing device. The known time lag between the two wavefronts is used for time calibrating pulse measuring instruments.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a sonobuoy that houses at least one unmanned vehicle that may be launched from the sonobuoy. The sonobuoy may include a canister, a parachute, an unmanned vehicle, and a launch mechanism. The parachute may be disposed within an interior cavity of the canister proximate to a first end of the canister. The unmanned vehicle may be disposed within the interior cavity of the canister proximate to a second end of the canister. The launch mechanism may be disposed within the interior cavity of the canister and operatively coupled to the unmanned vehicle. The launch mechanism may be configured to launch the unmanned vehicle from the canister. The sonobuoy may further include a launch deployment mechanism that may be configured to orient the canister with respect to a surface after the sonobuoy impacts the surface in order to facilitate the launch of the unmanned vehicle.

Abstract:

A mainframe workflow creation method creates and manages managing workflow tasks in a mainframe workflow management system. The method includes activating a workflow creation engine in the mainframe workflow management system by a user of a computing device using a web dashboard, communicating with the mainframe workflow management system over a communication network, and creating workflow tasks corresponding to a mainframe workflow. The method also includes associating the workflow tasks with a mainframe workflow process, and selecting a target mainframe computing system from a plurality of target mainframe computing systems for execution of the mainframe workflow process. The method further includes transmitting the mainframe workflow process to the selected target mainframe computing system over the communication network, and executing the mainframe workflow process, including plurality of workflow tasks, by the selected target mainframe computing system.

G06F 11/30

Abstract:

The invention relates to a server configuration drift monitoring tool that allows for active monitoring of server configurations. The Monitoring Tool has little overhead and may be quickly and easily integrated with a current or new environment. With simple configuration files available, an administrator may customize necessary settings. The Monitoring Tool may run on various platforms, including Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings, and may be compiled into a program component. The Monitoring Tool allows users and administrators to access a dashboard (via any web browser or mobile device), showing current connections and the ability to select components/devices to do a side by side comparison.
