  • Patent number: 11646206
    Abstract: Described are methods for forming a multilayer conductive structure for semiconductor devices. A seed layer is formed comprising a metal and an additional constituent that in combination with the metal inhibits nucleation of a fill layer of the metal formed over the seed layer. Tungsten may be doped or alloyed with silicon to form the seed layer, with a tungsten fill being formed over the seed layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8676679
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for establishing and using credit limits between counterparties and for managing risk in the trading of financial interests. A trading party may control the amount of future financial exposure that the trading party will incur with any counterparty in one or more future time periods in trades by the trading party during a trading session. Credit limits may be used to permit proposed trades to be completed or not depending upon available credit. Where there is insufficient credit, the trade may be blocked or otherwise prevented from progressing towards completion. If there is insufficient credit and if trading up to available credit is permitted, a partial trade for an amount up to the credit limit may be allowed. During a trading session, the credit remaining of a set credit limit between the trading party and the respective counterparty is changed according to trades executed between the trading party and the counterparty.

  • Patent number: 7774247
    Abstract: The invention provides systems, methods, and programs for improved computer trading of financial and other interests, including improvements in the making, acceptance, and control of proposals for transactions in interests. Among improvements provided by the invention are the presentation of terms of proposed transactions to trading parties in terms selected or otherwise designated by the trading parties. For example, terms of proposed transactions may be displayed in present or future values, such as in straight or split amounts for forward swap agreements. Prices in currency exchanges may be expressed in terms of any of the involved currencies. Improvements further include improved means for changing terms of proposed transactions, and especially groups or sets of proposed transactions; restrictions on repeated acceptance of transaction proposals; trading by users on each other's behalf; and improved display of transaction information associated with fellow traders.

  • Patent number: 7533054
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for establishing and using credit limits between counterparties and for managing risk in the trading of financial interests. Credit filtered views of executable market information are provided to trading parties. By setting credit limits used to provide credit-filtered views, a trading party may control the amount of future financial exposure that the trading party will incur with any counterparty in one or more present-and/or future time periods in trades by the trading party during a trading session. The credit limit information may be used by a central computer to provide credit filtered market views to trading parties. During a trading session, the credit remaining of a set credit limit between the trading party and the respective counterparty is changed according to trades executed between the trading party and the counterparty.

  • Patent number: 7445338
    Abstract: A new and improved slit lamp microscope table with a front recess of suitable size to accommodate the torso of the occupant of a wheel chair or an obese individual. With the table set at an appropriate elevation, the handicapped individual can move his or her wheel chair to the vicinity of the table. The wheel chair is rolled toward the table until the user is located with his or her torso in the recess. Once the patient is in position, the table can be lowered to the point at which the arm rests of the table come into contact with the arms on the wheel chair and more positively hold the table and wheel chair in the desired relation.
