International Classification:

H05K 502

US Classification:

361683, 361686, 361725, 361731, 3122232

Abstract:

A modular multinode computing apparatus includes a rack mountable enclosure and more than one system board that is secured within the enclosure in a high density configuration that is preferably configured so that the system boards are positioned in substantially the same plane, which is also the plane in which the apparatus resides when mounted within a rack. The enclosure preferably has four system boards, and is sized as a 1 u form factor. When mounted in a rack with like units, the apparatus permits a data center or computing cluster to be fabricated that has a processing density that is much greater than conventional clusters that are configured with 1 u based single node units.

US Classification:

118715, 118725, 15634529

Abstract:

Provided herein is an emissivity-change-free pumping plate kit used in a single wafer chamber. This kit comprises a top open pumping plate, and optionally a skirt and/or a second stage choking plate. The skirt may be installed around the wafer heater, underneath the wafer heater, or along the chamber body inside the chamber. The choking plate is installed downstream of the top open pumping plate along the purge gas flow. Also provided is a method of preventing emissivity change and further providing optimal film thickness uniformity during wafer processing by utilizing such kit in the chamber.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709213

Abstract:

Methods and network interface systems are provided for transferring data between a host and a network using a shared memory, in which separate data transfer queues are employed for transfer of data of different priorities. For receive data, the network interface scrutinizes the data and provides a corresponding entry in a receive data transfer queue of a particular priority according to the data. For transmit data, the network interface transmits data corresponding to entries in lower priority queues when all higher priority data has been transmitted or when a certain number of higher priority data frames have been transferred while a lower priority frame is waiting to be sent.

Abstract:

A scalable fulfillment system is presented that supports business processes, manages the transport and processing of business-related messages or documents between a business entity and clients, such as customers, vendors, and business partners, and generally supports business document processing. The system intelligently manages the transportation of files from clients, through processing of files, to generating responses that return to the clients. To accommodate a heterogeneous interfacing and processing with different clients in a central system, a file normalization technique is used that captures a common meta-data format from the numerous heterogeneous file types used by numerous clients. The meta-data files, also referred to as messages, contain links to their associated data files and are processed separately. Once the messages are entered into the system, an intelligent queue scheduler (IQS) is used to schedule the processing of messages across a scalable resource of processing engines based on normalized file meta-data parameters.
