Patent number: 9037797Abstract: Intelligent caching includes defining a cache policy for a data source, selecting parameters of data in the data source to monitor, the parameters forming a portion of the cache policy, and monitoring the data source for an event based on the cache policy. Upon an occurrence of an event, the intelligent caching also includes retrieving target data subject to the cache policy from a first location and moving the target data to a second location.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2011Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kathleen A. McGroddy-Goetz, Pamela A. Nesbitt, Sandeep R. Patil

Patent number: 7908906Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for determining the osmolarity of a fluid. The system includes an apparatus having: a chip with a substantially planar top surface; a first circuit portion and a second circuit portion, each having a plurality of redundant electrically conductive lines disposed on the top surface; and a gap disposed between the first circuit portion and the second circuit portion, wherein a circuit is created when a fluid sample bridges the gap and connects the first circuit portion and the second circuit portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2006Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Govindarajan Natarajan, Emmanuel Delamarche, Eric A Eckberg, James N Humenik, Kathleen A McGroddy-Goetz, Scott Partington, Christopher F Perrera, Marco G Trivella, Timothy M Wiwel

Patent number: 5552996Abstract: The techniques of the present invention facilitate the control of an IC chip fabrication level of a fabrication process based upon the design pattern of the IC chip being fabricated. A grid having multiple sections is imposed over the design pattern of a fabrication level of the IC chip. Then, pattern density values are automatically established for the design pattern contained in each section of the grid. The IC chip fabrication level is then controlled based upon the pattern density values. For example, the established pattern density values facilitate the automatic determination of a CMP process stop parameter, or the automatic compensation for etch rate variations caused by pattern density differences across the design pattern of the IC chip.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1995Date of Patent: September 3, 1996Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cheryl A. Hoffman, Mark A. Lavin, William Leipold, Kathleen McGroddy, Daniel J. Nickel
