Publication number: 20120104273Abstract: Multiple control electrodes are provided asymmetrically within the plasma chamber of an ion source at respective positions along the length of the plasma chamber. Biasing the control electrodes selectively can selectively enhance the ion extraction current at adjacent positions along the length of the extraction slit. A method of generating an ion beam is disclosed in which the strengths of the transverse electric fields at different locations along the length of the plasma chamber are controlled to modify the ion beam linear current density profile along the length of the slit. The method is used for controlling the uniformity of a ribbon beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2010Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: TWIN CREEKS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Geoffrey Ryding, Drew Arnold, William H.

Publication number: 20120110148Abstract: A distributed DNS network includes a central origin server that actually controls the zone, and edge DNS cache servers configured to cache the DNS content of the origin server. The edge DNS cache servers are published as the authoritative servers for customer domains instead of the origin server. When a request for a DNS record results in a cache miss, the edge DNS cache servers get the information from the origin server and cache it for use in response to future requests. Multiple edge DNS cache servers can be deployed at multiple locations. Since an unlimited number of edge DNS cache servers can be deployed, the system is highly scalable. The disclosed techniques protect against DoS attacks, as DNS requests are not made to the origin server directly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2012Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Zaide "Edward" Liu, Eric Sven-Johan Swildens, Richard David Day
