Patent number: 8607185Abstract: Methods are used to enrich a cell library in such a way to provide a nearly continuous choice of cells to implement a circuit design. The emphasis of the design method is on automatic determination of the needed cell sizes and variants. The method exploits different variants on drive strengths, P/N ratios, topology variants, internal buffering, and so forth. The method allows enriching libraries to become more suitable for efficient timing closure. The method also offers means to adapt the preexisting cells to fit the final distribution, minimizing the number of new cells to be created.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2012Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Nangate Inc.Inventor: Ole Christian Andersen

Patent number: 8484602Abstract: A method co-optimizes a design and a library in such a way to choose the best set of cells to implement the design. The method takes into account the idea of limiting the number of new cells while reducing target costs and respecting design constraints. The method chooses a minimum nearly optimum set of cells to optimize a design. This involves the simultaneous optimization of a cell-based design and a cell library used to implement it. The invention can produce only an optimized library for a specific application, when the circuit is disregarded. The method takes into account a set of new cells described as finalized cells or as virtual cells, possibly having different transistor topologies, different sizes, different logic functions, and/or different cell template than the original library.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Nangate Inc.Inventors: Andre Inacio Reis, Anders Bo Rasmussen, Vinicius Pazutti Correia, Ole Christian Andersen

Patent number: 8464342Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for adaptively selecting electronic message scanning rules. Embodiments of the invention relate to dynamically (and potentially unpredictably) varying the depth/thoroughness of classifying electronic messages to protect against undesirable message content (e.g., SPAM, viruses, digital leakage, etc.). A minimum effectiveness is maintained and, when available resources permit, can be exceeded to provide increased protection. An optimal subset of available message classification rules can be selected on a per message basis. The selection of rules is based on available system resources, minimum desired effectiveness (e.g., defined in a Service Level Agreement (“SLA”)), and rule characteristics. Feedback loops can be used to optimize selected classification rule subsets.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Hans Christian Andersen, Anatoliy Panasyuk, Venkata Somanadha Sarma Remany, Bart Kus

Publication number: 20130020220Abstract: A dual containment pod having an outer pod and an inner pod that provides support structure and environmental control means. The inner pod includes a base having a flat, polished surface with protrusions upon which the reticle seats and providing a gap between the reticle and the polished surface. The gap separates the reticle from the flat, polished surface of the base and is dimensioned to inhibit migration of particles into the gap, thereby preventing contamination of sensitive surfaces of the wafer or reticle. The top cover of the inner pod seats on the polished surface proximate a periphery of the base. Moveable reticle engaging pins on the top cover of the inner pod are engaged by the top cover of the outer container when the inner pod is assembled inside the outer pod providing reticle restraint.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2012Publication date: January 24, 2013Applicant: ENTEGRIS, INC.Inventors: Steven P. Kolbow, Kevin McMullen, Anthony Mathius Tieben, Matthew Kusz, Christian Andersen, Huaping Wang, Michael Cisewski, Michael L. Johnson, David L. Halbmaier, John Lystad

Patent number: 8231005Abstract: A container that provides support structure and environmental control means including, for example, minimal contact with a wafer or reticle contained therein that cooperates with wafer or reticle to provide a diffusion barrier mitigates against particles settling on a face of the wafer or reticle. The container includes a base having a flat, polished surface with protrusions upon which the wafer or reticle rests. The protrusions are of a geometry, such as a sphere, that imparts minimum contact with the wafer or reticle and suspends the wafer or reticle over the base, providing a gap therebetween. The gap isolates the wafer or reticle from the flat, polished surface of the base, but is dimensioned to inhibit migration of particles into the gap, thereby preventing contamination of sensitive surfaces of the wafer or reticle. Diffusion filters provide pressure equalization without filter media. Moveable reticle pins on the top cover provide reticle restraint.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2006Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Entegris, Inc.Inventors: Steven P.

Publication number: 20120079036Abstract: Described is a technology by which an email filtering service or other gateway includes hybrid proxy and store-and-forward logic. A message is initially processed with proxy logic. If the proxy logic is unable to complete filtering/scanning of a message within a timeout period, the store-and-forward logic is invoked to complete filtering/scanning of the message. The store-and-forward logic also may be invoked if a delivery attempt made by the proxy logic fails or does not complete prior to a delivery timeout period. When such a condition is met, the store-and-forward logic accepts the message, including storing the message, sending a response that indicates the message was accepted, and closing the connection over which the message was received. The store-and-forward logic may complete any scanning if not completed by the proxy logic, and takes over delivery responsibilities.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2010Publication date: March 29, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventor: Hans Christian Andersen

Patent number: 7962797Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically generating and refining health models. Embodiments of the invention use machine learning tools to analyze historical telemetry data from a server deployment. The tools output fingerprints, for example, small groupings of specific metrics-plus-behavioral parameters, that uniquely identify and describe past problem events mined from the historical data. Embodiments automatically translate the fingerprints into health models that can be directly applied to monitoring the running system. Fully-automated feedback loops for identifying past problems and giving advance notice as those problems emerge in the future is facilitated without any operator intervention. In some embodiments, a single portion of expert knowledge, for example, Key Performance Indicator (KPI) data, initiates health model generation.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2009Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Moises Goldszmidt, Peter Bodik, Hans Christian Andersen
