  • Patent number: 9299101
    Abstract: A universal user interaction module for web transactions with user controlled conditions. A request is received from a user to begin an order. User information is collected from one or more data repositories. The user information is consolidated and a determination is made as to what additional data is required to complete the order. The additional data is requested from the user and is received from the user. The additional data includes one or more user conditions for placing the order. The order is then stored. The order for the product includes the one or more user conditions, and the order is placed only after all of the one or more user conditions have been met.

  • Patent number: 6245193
    Abstract: An improved and new substrate carrier head for use in a CMP apparatus is described. The new substrate carrier head has a substrate retaining ring with embedded intersecting channels in the outer face. The embedded intersecting channels improve the circulation of polishing slurry to and from the polished substrate and polishing byproducts away from the polished substrate and thereby improve the polishing uniformity on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6182124
    Abstract: In a token-based deadline enforcement system for electronic document submission, a submission requirements centre collects information on submission requirements (eg., deadlines for submitting bids in response to commercial tenders), from the processing environments that generate the requirements. A gateway to a network of potential submitters polls the information collected in the submission requirements centre, and generates tokens corresponding to current submission time limits. These tokens are available to all potential submitters until expiry of the corresponding time limit for the submission. On receiving a request for electronic submission from a submitting program, the gateway searches its records for the token corresponding to the submission type. If the token is located, it is returned to the submitting program for packaging with the submission.
