  • Publication number: 20200102649
    Abstract: Embodiments related to measuring process pressure in low-pressure semiconductor processing environments are provided. In one example, a semiconductor processing module for processing a substrate with a process gas in a vacuum chamber is provided. The example module includes a reactor positioned within the vacuum chamber for processing the substrate with the process gas and a pressure-sensitive structure operative to transmit a pressure transmission fluid pressure to a location exterior to the vacuum chamber. In this example, the pressure transmission fluid pressure varies in response to the process gas pressure within the vacuum chamber.

  • Publication number: 20190259110
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may include a memory and a computing a system in communication with said memory. The computing system may be configured to receive data from network management systems. In one embodiment, the network management system includes a network gateway. Users at venues may access external network resources using the network management system. Further, the network management systems may extract device identifiers from network packets sent from user devices to request access to external network resources. In some embodiments, the network management system may provide transmission control protocol handshake completion data to user devices. In some embodiments, the computing system also receives one or more attributes associated with the venue, user data associated with the user device, and connection data associated with communication between the user device and said external network resource.

  • Publication number: 20190095397
    Abstract: A method for providing a search sample without a search being triggered is disclosed. The method includes receiving at least one partial search term in a search box. Probable search terms are determined by comparing the at least one partial search term to a database of common search terms. The probable search terms are displayed in a format that include a link to a sample search of each probable search term and a backslide button. When the link to a sample search of a probable search term is selected in the probable search terms, the sample search is displayed in a format that includes a close link. When the close link is selected in the sample search, the probable search terms are displayed again. When the backslide button is selected, the right most word from the search term is deleted.

  • Patent number: 10223205
    Abstract: Various embodiments for failure recovery in a computing environment following a data restoration are provided. A catalog locate is performed for each of a plurality of data sets on a base catalog structure (BCS), identifying a plurality of BCS entries. If a first BCS entry is cataloged incorrectly, the first BCS entry is designated to be re-cataloged. The plurality of BCS entries is compared with a plurality of volume table of contents and a plurality of VSAM volume data set (VTOC/VVDS) entries. If a second BCS entry found in the plurality of BCS entries is not found in the plurality of VTOC/VVDS entries, and the second BCS entry indicates that a data set associated with the second BCS entry is located on a volume, an attempt is made to vary on the volume. If the volume cannot be varied on, a request is created to restore the volume.

  • Publication number: 20190062394
    Abstract: The present invention relates to modified forms of IL-12. These modified forms of IL-12 may be engineered to have a shortened in vivo half-life compared and/or enhanced localization of biological effects compared to that of corresponding non-modified form of IL-12. Short half-life and membrane bound forms of IL-12 may provide greater therapeutic control for in vivo therapeutic delivery, in particular when used in combination with ligand inducible delivery of IL-12. Modified forms of IL-12 engineered to have shortened in vivo half-life and/or enhanced localization of biological effects include heterodimeric p35/p40, single chain and membrane bound forms of IL-12 wherein a naturally occurring IL-12 amino acid sequence is genetically modified to destabilize IL-12 tertiary structure/polypeptide folding and enhance susceptibility of the IL-12 molecule to in vivo proteolytic degradation.

  • Publication number: 20190031770
    Abstract: Single chain antibody polypeptides with engineered peptide bond crossovers in the light chain and/or heavy chain variable domains, compositions comprising the same, and methods of making and using the same are provided. The antibody polypeptides can be intercalated (crossover) single chain variable fragments (scFvs) or any antibody frameworks which comprise such scFvs, such as diabodies, bispecific antibodies or bssFvs. The single chain antibody polypeptides may or may not contain a linker. The single chain antibody polypeptides are useful in applications where standard (conventional) scFvs are useful, such as in the development of scFv libraries for screening, as therapeutic antibodies, or in in vitro and in vivo targeting applications.

  • Patent number: 9875033
    Abstract: A method of minimizing data storage medium fragmentation, wherein the method provides a data storage library comprising (N) data storage media, wherein (N) is greater than or equal to 1. The method establishes a threshold fragmentation index, and determines, for each value of (i), an actual fragmentation index for an (i)th data storage medium, wherein (i) is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to (N). The method receives a data set from a host computer in communication with the data storage library, and writes the data set to an (i)th data storage medium based upon an (i)th actual fragmentation index.

  • Patent number: 9659257
    Abstract: A method and system that provide for decision support and/or training support in crisis decision-making situations are provided. In one implementation, a method identifies patterns from known cases based on information from a crisis event. Each of the known cases includes attributes and at least one outcome. The method also identifies a first subset of the known cases that relate to the identified patterns from the known cases. The method also analyzes the identified patterns to determine a cue that, if answered, will provide a second subset of the known cases including a more converged range of decision outcomes than the first subset.

  • Patent number: 9619472
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system and method for updating class assignments for data sets during a recall operation in a storage environment having a plurality of storage devices. Information on a data set is processed to determine at least one current attribute of the data set. A determination is made as to whether the determined at least one current attribute satisfies a criteria. Indication is made in a catalog to change a class associated with the data set in response to determining that the at least one current attribute satisfies the criteria, wherein the class is used to determine how to manage the data set. The data set is migrated from a first storage to a second storage. A recall operation is initiated to recall the data set from the second storage.
