  • Publication number: 20090031017
    Abstract: A method, system, and product in a data processing system are disclosed for providing centralized management of an INFINIBAND distributed system-area network that includes multiple end nodes. A manager application is established in one of the end nodes. An agent application is established in one or more end nodes. Each agent application is independent from the manager application. The manager application maintains a current list of active agent applications and uses the list to manage the agent applications in the end nodes.

  • Publication number: 20070152023
    Abstract: A method for accurately depositing a continuous and homogeneous line of a minute, metered volume of solder to a delineated area of an electronic component comprises positioning over said area a template made of high temperature withstanding material such as high density graphite and having a series of spaced-apart bores joined at their base by a groove defining said line. Particles of solder having a cumulative size corresponding to said volume are inserted into the bores. The component and template assembly is then subjected to solder-melting temperature under a control atmosphere, causing the solder to flow and evenly deposit on the targeted area.
