  • Querying of profile data by reducing unnecessary downstream calls
    Patent number: 10990592
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing a query of profile data. During operation, the system obtains a set of profile fields requested in a query of profile data and one or more profile view settings associated with the query. Next, the system determines, based on the set of profile fields and the profile view setting(s), one or more downstream calls to omit from a set of downstream calls available to generate a result of the query. The system then generates one or more additional downstream calls in the set of downstream calls to resolve a parameter used to generate a result of the query. Finally, the system uses the parameter to generate the result of the query without making the downstream call(s).

  • Two stage valve for charging and/or vacuum relief of pods
    Patent number: 5810062
    Abstract: A valve mounted in pod door of a SMIF pod for allowing gas flow to and from the sealed pod while the pod is seated on a SMIF port. The valve is provided to allow fluid flow to or from the pod upon the valve be actuated by either a standard registration pin or a specially adapted fluid flow pin. The valve includes a body and a valve stem capable of vertical translation within the valve body. A spring biases the valve stem downward with respect to the valve body such that a top of the valve stem lies in sealing engagement with a O-ring 54. When not engaged by a registration pin or fluid flow pin, the engagement between the valve top and the O-ring prevents passage of fluid into or out of the pod.
