The reducers can be operable to receive the (K, V) pairs and generate second input data based on the (K, V) pairs. The reducers can be operable to transmit the second input data to integral compute runtime environment being run within the reducers and operable to generate second result data based on the second input data. Based on the second result data, the reducers can be operable to generate output data.

For example, a method for forming an integrated circuit assembly comprises forming first solder bumps on a first die, and forming a first structure comprising the first die, the first solder bumps, a first flux, and a first substratum. The first die is placed upon the first substratum. The first solder bumps are between the first die and the first substratum. The first flux holds the first die substantially flat and onto the first substratum.

Abstract: A method for predicting or detecting an event in turbomachinery includes the steps of obtaining operational data from at least one machine and at least one peer machine. The operational data comprises a plurality of performance metrics. A genetic algorithm (GA) analyzes the operational data, and generates a plurality of clauses, which are used to characterize the operational data. The clauses are evaluated as being either “true” or “false”. A fitness function identifies a fitness value for each of the clauses. A perturbation is applied to selected clauses to create additional clauses, which are then added to the clauses group. The steps of applying a fitness function, selecting a plurality of clauses, and applying a perturbation can be repeated until a predetermined fitness value is reached. The selected clauses are then applied to the operational data from the machine to detect or predict a past, present or future event.

Abstract: A method for performing handover between multiple modes for a mobile station is provided. The method includes operating the mobile station in a first mode. A handover from the first mode to a second mode is performed using a single wireless receiver. The mobile station operates in the second mode after performing the handover.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for and method of routing telephony data packets by checking the address of each data packet as the data packet is sent to a common random access memory to be used by all of a plurality of router. The appropriate output link is ascertained by use of a lookup table accessible by each of the plurality of routers. The location of the data packet in memory is then sent to a FIFO entity associated with the appropriate output link. When the queue for that link reaches a pointer in the FIFO for that data packet, it is retrieved from memory and forwarded to its destination.

Abstract: A digital cockpit allows a cockpit user to “steer” a business in the same manner that a cockpit of an airplane is used to control the airplane. A number of digital cockpit features enable this functionality. For example, the digital cockpit provides an efficient mechanism for providing prompt reporting regarding a business's past behavior, its current behavior, and its projected future behavior. The digital cockpit uses a suite of business models to provide such information. The digital cockpit further includes mechanisms for allowing a user to carry out desired control of the business by making changes to the business's processes and associated systems. Further, the digital cockpit provides a modular design which allows for the efficient plug-in and modification of business models.

Abstract: A ceramic column grid array package suitable for mounting application specific integrated circuits or microprocessor chips onto a printed circuit board employing polymer reinforced columns on the substrate module is described. The polymer enhancement is formed by coating a thin conformal film of a polymer, such as, a polyimide onto the substrate module after the formation of the ceramic column grids to mechanically enhance the column to substrate attachment of the column to the substrate prior to mounting on a printed circuit card. Upon curing of the polymer film at a temperature below the melting point of the solder bond attaching the column grid to the substrate, the columns will be mechanically reinforced in their attachment to the substrate. Upon removal of the substrate module from a printed circuit card during rework, the columns of the grid array will remain with the substrate module, leaving no columns on the printed circuit card.
