  • Patent number: 8900665
    Abstract: Forming a hardmask layer with an increased etch resistance based on alternating nanolayers of TiN with alternating residual stresses is disclosed. Embodiments include depositing a first nanolayer of TiN, and depositing a second nanolayer of TiN on the first nanolayer, wherein the first and second nanolayers have different residual stresses.

  • Publication number: 20140111550
    Abstract: A direction and distance of movement of a display device as well as of a user of the display device are determined. Based on these determined directions and distances of movement, compensation to apply to content displayed on the display device to compensate for movement of the user with respect to the device is determined and applied to the content. A portion of the display device at which the user is looking can also be detected. The compensation is applied to the content only if applying the compensation would not result in the portion being positioned beyond the display device. If applying the compensation would result in the portion being positioned beyond the display device then appropriate corrective action is taken, such as not applying the compensation to the content.

  • Patent number: 8296278
    Abstract: Product issues are identified through an analysis of forum data stored in a forum database. Forum threads are identified within the forum data and clustered together by grouping related forum threads. Once the forum threads have been clustered, the clustered forum threads can be analyzed to identify product issues. Once the product issues have been identified, steps may be taken in an attempt to resolve the identified issues.

  • Publication number: 20120143893
    Abstract: A pattern matching framework for log analysis is described. In one or more implementations, one or more inputs are received via a user interface of a computing device that describe a filter pattern that specifies data that is to be matched and extracted from a log and a projection pattern that specifies how at least a portion of the data extracted using the filter pattern is to be output. A query is formed from the filter pattern and the projection pattern by the computing device that is configured to analyze the log.

  • Publication number: 20100153215
    Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing information pertaining to one or more individuals or entities with whom a user has at least one pre-defined type of relationship (e.g., a social networking relationship) and information pertaining to the user's behavior with respect to the one or more individuals (e.g., manual designation, interaction with communications received from and/or sent to the user, and the like) to present relevant search results and/or advertisements to a user in response to receiving a search request are provided. Upon receiving a search request from a user, information about the user's relationships and behavior with respect to those relationships is utilized to determine user-relevant search results and/or advertisements. The search results and/or advertisements that are determined to be relevant to that particular user based upon the user's behavior and presented.
