Abstract: Variable reactances in an impedance-matching box for an RF coil, in a plasma deposition system for depositing a film of sputtered target material on a substrate, can be varied during the deposition process so that the RF coil and substrate heating, and the film deposition, are more uniform due to “time-averaging” of the RF voltage distributions along the RF coil.

Abstract: A method, system and program for accessing records in a database object, such as an index or table. A cursor is maintained that points to a start entry in the database object. The database object has rows and columns of values. A runtime component receives a command to return a kth entry in the object having column values that satisfy predicates in a query statement. The runtime component calls a manager component that accesses entries in the database object to return the kth entry in the object having column values that satisfy the predicates. The manager component moves the cursor through sequential entries in the database object, in either the forward or reverse direction, until a kth entry that satisfies the predicates from the start entry is reached. The manager component positions the cursor to an entry that is the kth entry that satisfies the predicates from the start entry and returns data from the kth entry pointed to by the cursor to the runtime component.

Abstract: Implementations describe the expansion of storage space in an array of storage units. The storage space formed by the storage units is configured as logical units to store data. Storage units are added to the array to form an expanded storage space. The storage units in the array prior to the addition of the storage units are in a pre-expansion storage space. At least one additional logical unit is configured in the expanded storage space such that the logical units existing prior to the addition of the storage units in the pre-expansion storage space are not affected by the logical units configured in the expanded storage space.

Abstract: A system for interacting with a database report is disclosed. The database is responsive to a query to produce an associated report comprising one or more objects, each object comprising a plurality of attributes. The system comprises means for storing one or more reports from respective database queries; and means for rendering at least one object from the stored reports. A user interface enables a user to navigate through objects composing the stored reports to select an object; select one or more attributes of the selected object and determine a value of a selected attribute to be used as a condition in a subsequent database query. A query generator receives the selected attribute values and generates the subsequent database query.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and an article of manufacture for registration calibration of a printer. An application prints reticle patterns on a printed page. An imaging device creates a digital image of the printed reticle patterns. If color registration on the printer is improper, the digital image exhibits interference patterns. The application compares the interference patterns to the reticle patterns, and based on the results of the comparison adjusts the color registration of the printer.

Abstract: Provided is a system, method, and program for performing a reverse scan of an index implemented as a tree of pages. Each leaf page includes one or more ordered index keys and previous and next pointers to the previous and next pages, respectively. The scan is searching for keys in the leaf pages that satisfy the search criteria. If a current index key is a first key on a current page, then a request is made for a conditional shared latch on a previous page prior to the current page. If the requested conditional shared latch is not granted, then the latch on the current page is released and a request is made for unconditional latches on the previous page and the current page. After receiving the latches on the previous and current pages, a determination is made of whether the current index key is on the current page if the current page was modified since the unconditional latch was requested. The current index key is located on the current page if the current index key is on the current page.

Abstract: A system, method, program, and data structure for performing a backup operation of a target file. At least one operation is initiated to perform at least one delta backup of the target file to at least one delta backup set. A delta backup set includes changes made to a version of a full backup set of the target file generated at a first time, such as an incremental or differential backup operation. The at least one delta backup set is assigned a name component indicating the version of the full backup set generated at the first time subject to the delta backup and an operation is initiated to perform a full backup of the target file to a version of the full backup set at a second time. The second time follows the first time. A determination is made of all delta backup sets having the name component indicating the version of the full backup set generated at the first time during the full backup operation at the second time.

Abstract: A method, system, program, and data structure for restricting host access to at least one logical device. Each logical device comprises a section of physical storage space that is non-overlapping with the physical storage space associated with other logical devices. At least one logical device and at least one host are assigned to a cluster group. A cluster group is defined such that hosts that are not in a particular cluster group cannot access the logical devices that are assigned to the cluster group. Further, within each cluster group, a logical number is assigned to each logical device in the cluster group such that no host member of that cluster group uses the assigned logical number to access another logical device. The hosts in the cluster group use the logical number to access the logical device to which the logical number is assigned.

Abstract: An integrated data mining and relational database management system is provided on a server. The data mining engine determines characteristics of relationships between input data values and an output data value that are obtained from a relational database (managed by the relational database management system). The integration allows direct conversion of data values from the relational database to data mining identifiers used for data mining operations by the data mining engine, and vice-versa. The integrated server also makes patterns uncovered during data mining (e.g., “understand” and “predict” information) available in virtual relational database tables that can be queried.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and program for generating a table for use by a computer in determining a location of a boundary, such as a word boundary, between two characters in text.
