Patent number: 11035038Abstract: A solid delivery precursor is described, which is useful for volatilization to generate precursor vapor for a vapor deposition process. The solid delivery precursor comprises solid bodies of compacted particulate precursor, e.g., in a form such as pellets, platelets, tablets, beads, discs, or monoliths. When utilized in a vapor deposition process such as chemical vapor deposition, pulsed chemical vapor deposition, or atomic layer deposition, the solid delivery precursor in the form of solid bodies of compacted particulate precursor provide substantially increased flux of precursor vapor when subjected to volatilization conditions, in relation to the particulate precursor. As a result, vapor deposition process operation can be carried out in shorter periods of time, thereby achieving increased manufacturing rates of products such as semiconductor products, flat-panel displays, solar panels, LEDs, optical coatings, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2016Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Entegris, Inc.Inventors: Thomas H.

Publication number: 20180158064Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating risk assessment for point of sale transactions utilizing at least one risk triggering value (RTV) is disclosed. An RTV is a condensed version of a set of complex risk data and strategies usually found in central processing sites. After receiving a request for payment authorization, a risk value is calculated for the request. The distributed processing site compares the risk value to the RTV to determine whether to authorize payment. If the risk value is less than or equal to the RTV, the payment is authorized while a risk value greater than the RTV will not be authorized. The central site calculates a new RTV for the account and distributes the new RTV to the distributed processing site.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2017Publication date: June 7, 2018Inventors: Fred Bishop, Eric James Eldridge, William S.

Patent number: 8413160Abstract: In a packet-based transaction processing system, workload is balanced across multiple computer systems. A plurality of packets is received from a plurality of clients over a plurality of communications sessions. Each of the plurality of packets includes a portion of a transaction involving a financial transaction instrument that requires authorization. The plurality of packets are processed to assemble a plurality of transactions. Each of the plurality of transactions is then transmitted to an application server selected from a plurality of servers that provides authorization for the transactions. The server may be selected from the plurality of servers based on a round-robin distribution of the plurality of servers, and additionally, the round-robin distribution may be modified to account for a workload on each of the plurality of servers.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2007Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.Inventors: David Armes, Ian Brown, Eric James Eldridge, Conrad Orlando Menezes, Claudio Valdes, John Ryan
