Abstract: In chemical mechanical polishing, a wafer carrier plate is provided with a cavity for reception of a sensor positioned very close to a wafer to be polished. Energy resulting from contact between a polishing pad and an exposed surface of the wafer is transmitted only a very short distance to the sensor and is sensed by the sensor, providing data as to the nature of properties of the exposed surface of the wafer, and of transitions of those properties. Correlation methods provide graphs relating sensed energy to the surface properties, and to the transitions. The correlation graphs provide process status data for process control.

Abstract: System and method for validating a call within a telecommunications network that is vendor-independent. The system and method include a messaging facility, a validation database, and a validation facility. The messaging facility is connected to the telecommunications network, and configured to message to and receive messages from a telecommunication device (e.g., router, IRVU, etc.) related to the call being placed within the telecommunications network and to receive a validation request related to the call from said telecommunications device, the validation request being in a first format. The validation database is configured to maintain data relating to validating authorities (e.g., CYBERCASH, CYBERSOURCE, etc.) and the validating authorities' messaging format requirements (e.g., request content, protocol, format, etc.).

Abstract: An extendible, modular application server distributed via an electronic data network (e.g., the Internet and World Wide Web, a local area network, etc.) that includes a remote client facility, at least one business function facility, at least one remote network facility, and at least one facility manager. The remote client facility is configured to receive a request via the electronic data network from a network client, to register the network client, to locate a first network facility residing on the electronic data network based on the request and reference the client to the first network facility in order to initiate a distributed application. Said at least one business function facility resides on the electronic data network and is configured to access and control a second network facility corresponding to the first network facility in order to perform a business function.

Abstract: A remote client manager that facilitates an extendible, modular application server system distributed via an electronic data network, that includes: a network client, a remote client facility and a lease manager. The network client is configured to access the application server system via the electronic data network and to download and execute an interface facility (JAVA applet, etc.). The interface facility is configured to facilitate the delivery of an application facility from the application server system. The remote client facility is configured to register the network client, the interface facility, and the application facility, to receive an application request from the interface facility via the electronic data network related to the application facility, and to reference the network client to the application facility to facilitate the delivery of the application facility to the network client. And, the lease manager is configured to create a lease (e.g., a network object, database entry, etc.

Abstract: A housing for components of a computer system includes a portion having a material which is integral with an electrically conductive signal line. The material and the electrically conductive signal line are formed so as to physically break in response to application of a physical force on the material. Circuitry is coupled to the signal line for detecting a physical break in the material by detecting an open circuit caused by physically breaking the electrically conductive signal line. In response to the open circuit, an operation of the computer system is disabled.
