Patent number: 11934548Abstract: Methods for centralized access control for cloud relational database management system resources are performed by systems and devices. The methods utilize a central policy storage, managed externally to database servers, which stores external policies for access to internal database resources at up to fine granularity. Database servers in the processing system each receive external access policies that correspond to users of the system by push or pull operations from the central policy storage, and store the external access policies in a cache of the database servers for databases. For resource access, access conditions are determined via policy engines of database servers based on an external access policy in the cache that corresponds to a user, responsive to a resource access request from a device of the user specifying the internal resource. Data associated with the resource is provided to the user based on the access condition being met.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Yueren Wang, Elnata Degefa, Andreas Wolter, Steven Richard Gott, Nitish Gupta, Raghav Kaushik, Rakesh Khanduja, Shafi Ahmad, Dilli Dorai Minnal Arumugam, Pankaj Prabhakar Naik, Nikolas Christopher Ogg

Patent number: 11410908Abstract: Present disclosure relates to IC devices with thermal mitigation structures in the form of metal structures provided in a semiconductor material of a substrate on which active electronic devices are integrated (i.e., front-end metal structures). In one aspect, an IC device includes a substrate having a first face and a second face, where at least one active electronic device is integrated at the first face of the substrate. The IC device further includes at least one front-end metal structure that extends from the first face of the substrate into the substrate to a depth that is smaller than a distance between the first face and the second face. Providing front-end metal structures may enable improved cooling options because such structures may be placed in closer vicinity to the active electronic devices, compared to conventional thermal mitigation approaches.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Reinhard Mahnkopf, Sonja Koller, Andreas Wolter

Patent number: 11127813Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for fabricating a semiconductor inductor that includes a coil deposited on a stop layer that is deposited on a sacrificial substrate. The semiconductor inductor may be fabricated on a silicon wafer and singulated. The sacrificial substrate beneficially provides structural support for the singulated semiconductor inductor. The singulated semiconductor inductor advantageously requires minimal active die surface area. The removal of the sacrificial substrate after coupling to the active die beneficially reduces the overall thickness (or height) of the semiconductor package, providing a decided advantage in low profile, portable, electronic devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Georg Seidemann, Bernd Waidhas, Thomas Wagner, Andreas Wolter, Andreas Augustin
