  • Patent number: 9940035
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to storing data in a storage system. Data portions may be provided from blocks of write data provided by client computers. A storage location identifier may be associated with each data portion based on the content of the each data portion. Data portions may be stored in a memory buffer that may correspond to the storage location identifiers. If an amount of data stored in the memory buffer exceeds a threshold value, or if a maximum latency time expires, the data portions are stored on a storage location that corresponds to the memory buffer, such that, the maximum latency time is selected to prevent a collision caused by simultaneously storing of data portions in the same storage location. A write acknowledgement message may be provided to the client computers indicating that the blocks of write data are stored to stable storage.

  • Patent number: 9941108
    Abstract: Plasma is generated using elemental hydrogen, a weak oxidizing agent, and a fluorine containing gas. An inert gas is introduced to the plasma downstream of the plasma source and upstream of a showerhead that directs gas mixture into the reaction chamber where the mixture reacts with the high-dose implant resist. The process removes both the crust and bulk resist layers at a high strip rate, and leaves the work piece surface substantially residue free with low silicon loss.

  • Patent number: 9938583
    Abstract: The methods described herein allow for the classification of patients into groups for receiving optimized radiation treatment based on patient specific biomarker signature. The biomarker signature includes markers that have been shown to correlate with TGF-? expression and to be associated with tumor aggressiveness, radioresistance and poor prognosis. The markers play a key role in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. The methods described herein provide the dual benefits of anti-tumor efficacy plus normal tissue protection when combining TGF-? inhibitors with ionizing radiation to treat cancer patients.
