Abstract: The present invention relates to semiconductor crystal growth equipments. A vapor controlled czochralski (VCZ) single crystal growth apparatus comprises a single crystal furnace, a heating unit, a mechanical transmission unit, and a gaseous adjustment unit. A hot-wall sealed container is mounted in the single crystal furnace, and a crucible is mounted within the hot-wall sealed container. The hot-wall sealed container includes an upper container part and a lower container part. A sealing connection device is provided between the upper and lower container parts. A crucible-transmitting shaft and a seed shaft are inserted into the hot-wall sealed container through respective sealing devices.

Abstract: A method for communicating between cards in an electronic module is provided. The method includes generating a message for transmission at a first card. The message is transmitted over a bus to a second card by-passing an IP stack at the first card. A queue at the second card is monitored for messages from the first card. A message is read from the queue at the second card when received from the first card.

Abstract: A method for establishing an end-to-end virtual circuit is provided. The method includes establishing a permanent virtual circuit between customer premises equipment and a digital subscriber line access multiplexer. The method further includes embedding information for a permanent virtual connection between a switch and a remote node in a packet transmitted over a static connection in a network. Finally, the method includes establishing a permanent virtual circuit between the switch and the remote node based on the embedded information.
