Abstract:

In accordance with the present invention, a network management program () is provided that manages the communication of data packets between an intranetwork () and an internetwork (). An operator of a computer connected to the intranetwork () inputs vital information regarding users of computers connected to the intranetwork (), mapping information regarding computers connected to the intranetwork (), and policies to be applied against those users and computers, using a graphical user interface (GUI ). The GUI () communicates the vital user information, mapping information and policies to a database () which stores and organizes the vital user information, mapping information and policies. A filter executive () optimizes the policies stored in the database () into a set of rules for each user and passes the rules to a filter engine (). The filter engine () filters all outbound data packets transmitted from the intranetwork () to the internetwork () and verifies all inbound data packets from the internetwork () according to the rules provided by the filter executive (). The filter executive () also communicates the mapping information stored in the database () to a naming service manager () which further updates the mapping information and returns the updated mapping information to the filter executive ().

G01R 3126

US Classification:

430 30

Abstract:

A method of and apparatus for processing semiconductor wafers which include observing optical characteristics of exposed undeveloped photoresist, without removing the wafers from the stepper is disclosed. The present invention includes the steps of loading a wafer having a layer of photoresist into a photolithography system, exposing the photoresist in accordance with an initial set of control parameters including exposure time, position of the wafer within the photolithography system, and/or focus change. Prior to developing the photoresist, optical characteristics of the exposed photoresist are observed using a phase contrast microscope which detects latent images. Then, according to the observations of the latent image, the initial set of control parameters are adjusted to generate a second set of control parameters.

International Classification:

G06F 1550

US Classification:

364428

Abstract:

Energy compensation means (64) for an onboard aircraft flight management system (12). The energy compensation means may be used to eliminate unwanted throttle activity during unscheduled level segments (80) in a descent path. The flight management system includes means for enabling selection of various flight modes including a descent mode, means for determining a descent path, including target speed and target altitude (70) profiles as a function of aircraft position, and means for providing information regarding the aircraft current altitude, current position, current calibrated airspeed (CAS) and current true airspeed (TAS). The flight management system also includes means operative in descent mode for providing a target signal (V. sub. TGT) representing the target speed for the descent path for the current aircraft position, and display means (16) responsive to the target signal for displaying the target speed. The energy compensation means operates to adjust the target speed downward when the current altitude of the aircraft exceeds the target altitude for the current aircraft position.
