  • SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR PROVIDING CLIENT-FILTERED CACHE INVALIDATION
    Publication number: 20150363322
    Abstract: A method and system includes generating a cache entry comprising cache line data for a plurality of cache clients and receiving a cache invalidate instruction from a first of the plurality of cache clients. In response to the cache invalidate instruction, the data valid/invalid state is changed for the first cache client to an invalid state without modifying the data valid/invalid state for the other of the plurality of cache clients from the valid state. A read instruction may be received from a second of the plurality of cache clients and in response to the read instruction, a value stored in the cache line data is returned to the second cache client while the data valid/invalid state for the first cache client is in the invalid state and the data valid/invalid state for the second cache client is in the valid state.

  • VTFT including overlapping electrodes
    Patent number: 9214560
    Abstract: A vertical transistor includes a substrate and an electrically conductive gate structure having a top surface and including a reentrant profile.

  • Forming a VTFT with aligned gate
    Patent number: 9153445
    Abstract: A method of forming a gate layer of a thin film transistor includes providing a substrate including a gate structure having a reentrant profile. A conformal conductive inorganic thin film is deposited over the gate structure and in the reentrant profile. A photoresist is deposited on the conformal conductive inorganic thin film over the gate structure and filling the reentrant profile. The photoresist is exposed from a side of the photoresist opposite the substrate allowing the photoresist in the reentrant profile to remain unexposed. The conformal conductive inorganic thin film is etched in areas not protected by the photoresist to form a patterned conductive gate layer located in the reentrant profile of the gate structure.

  • Extra-Thick 100% Memory Foam Flat Insoles
    Publication number: 20150257478
    Abstract: Extra-Thick 100% Memory Foam has the ability to mold itself to the curves of the user's foot while continually realigning itself to give way to the user's constantly changing pressure points as they move. Extra-Thick 100% Memory Foam Flat Insoles are worn inside the user's shoe and can help reduce the excessive pressure points caused by insoles made of thinner, harder materials that don't provide enough comfort. They are uniquely made of only 100% memory foam, and are thicker than any other memory foam insole in existence. They are thick and completely flat, like a 100% memory foam mattress. This allows the thick memory foam to conform to the individual contours of the foot, instead of forcing the foot to conform to the shape of the insole.
