Patent number: 5864394Abstract: A high throughput surface inspection system with enhanced detection sensitivity is described. The acquired data is processed in real time at a rate of below 50 MHz thereby reducing the cost for data processing. Anomalies are detected and verified by comparing adjacent repeating patterns and the height of the surface is monitored and corrected dynamically to reduce misregistration errors between adjacent repeating patterns. Local thresholds employing neighborhood information are used for detecting and verifying the presence of anomalies. The sampled point spread function of the combined illumination and collection system is exploited for anomaly detection and verification.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1995Date of Patent: January 26, 1999Assignee: Kla-Tencor CorporationInventors: John R.

Patent number: 5758149Abstract: A system for concurrent processing of queries and transactions against a shared database. The system includes multiple processors wherein a processor is available for processing queries and another processor is available for concurrently processing transactions. A query buffer is established for performing the query search while the data accessed by transactions is available in a database cache. Control logic in a database management system distinguishes between transactions and queries and initiates file-read control for reading the file containing the database. File-read control contains logic for logical sequential reading and logical non-sequential reading of the file. Control structures provide a means for control over the load that the query is allowed to place on the system.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1995Date of Patent: May 26, 1998Assignee: Unisys CorporationInventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 5193162Abstract: A multiprocessor data processing system is implemented with processors, each of which may request for a temporary time the exclusive lock on an object which is stored on a data base. To achieve this a lock processor synchronizes the locking and unlocking of the objects. The requesting processor directs the storage of the object from the data base into a selected high performance storage unit, where it has exclusive rights to modify or write into the object until the object is unlocked by the processor. An audit tape or disk records all modifications made to any object during a transaction. A non-volatile cache memory is inserted in the audit trail to store a before-look image of the object that resides in the high performance storage unit. Data compaction occurs by comparison of the before-look image with an after-look image to provide a difference image, which is supplied to an audit buffer that is coupled to the audit tape.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1989Date of Patent: March 9, 1993Assignee: Unisys CorporationInventors: Donald T. Bordsen, Thomas P. Cooper, Robert F. Esson, Michael J. Hill, John R. Jordan, Joseph E. Kessler, Dennis R. Konrad, Ralph E. Sipple, Robert E. Swenson, James F. Torgerson, Anthony P. vonArx
