Abstract: A manufacturing process including a controller method to generate a tool setting which includes a tool offset and a device offset. The controller method uses a device parameter measurement to update the tool offset and device offset. A tool weight and a device weight is assigned so that only one of the tool offset and device offset is significantly changed during the update. The process may be applied to semiconductor device manufacturing and particularly to integrated circuit fabrication.

Abstract: A network processing device is configured to receive a configuration message from a host device and forward the configuration message to a server. The configuration message can be configured to request the server assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the host device. The network processing device can be configured to send at least one probe message to the host device responsive to receiving the configuration message. The network processing device can be configured to determine whether the host device intends to continue utilizing a previously assigned IP address in addition to the IP address requested by the configuration message based, at least in part, on any responses to the at least one probe message received from the host device.

Abstract: A management scheme compares a source address included in a received solicitation with an address for a registered endpoint. A communication including a management prefix is communicated to the endpoint when the source address matches the registered address.

Abstract: A network device has a communications link to allow the device to communicate with customer devices and a processor. The processor is to receive neighbor discovery messages from requesting customer devices, examine the neighbor discovery messages to determine if the neighbor discovery message should be forwarded to other of the customer devices, and respond to the requesting customer devices.

Abstract: A system provides an order-invariant fuzzy commitment scheme. In an exemplary embodiment, the scheme includes receiving a first set of elements and selecting a polynomial for encoding an item under the first set of elements to generate an order-invariant fuzzy commitment of the item. The system utilizes an error-correcting code for decommitting the item if a second set of elements has a specified level of overlap with the first set of elements.

Abstract: A CMTS or other data aggregation component having a DHCPv6 relay agent extracts a Media Access Control (MAC) address of an end device from a data packet received from an end device. A DHCPv6 data frame is created for transmission to a DHCPv6 server. The MAC address may be inserted into a specific option of the DHCPv6 data frame, where data in the option may not be processed by the server and are echoed back to the aggregation component or CMTS. The DHCPv6 data frame is transmitted to the DHCPv6 server. The component receives a response message from the server that may contain the MAC address or similar client hardware address as it was sent to the server by the network component. The network component may determine an outgoing port interface from which the response message should be sent, utilizing the MAC address and an interface bundling table. In this manner, interface bundling may be enabled.

Abstract: An industrially useful peroxo-carbonate is electrolytically produced using, as a raw material, carbon dioxide that is inexpensive and easily available. A process of producing a peroxo-carbonate, includes feeding a carbon dioxide gas into an electrolytic cell having a gas diffusion anode and a cathode, or feeding a liquid having a carbon dioxide gas dissolved therein into an electrolytic cell having an anode and a cathode, and electrolytically converting the carbon dioxide gas into a peroxo-carbonate. By properly setting up electrolytic conditions such as electrodes, a useful peroxo-carbonate can be produced with high current efficiency using inexpensive carbon dioxide as the raw material.

Abstract: An embodiment method may comprise establishing a link layer connection to an access server, obtaining a management address, wherein the management address is at least one of an IPv6 and an IPv4 address, obtaining a TFTP server address, wherein the server address is either IPv6 or IPv4, downloading a configuration file from the TFTP server, and registering with the access server as IPv6 capable. Another embodiment may be a cable modem termination system (CMTS) comprising a port to receive downstream internet protocol (IP) traffic, a processor in communication with the port, the processor to classify downstream traffic based on fields in IP version 6 (IPv6) headers; and a radio frequency port in communication with the processor, the radio frequency port to send downstream traffic from the CMTS, wherein the processor uses a flow label as the downstream classifier so IP addresses can remain encrypted in the downstream traffic.

Peracetic acid is electrolytically synthesized from acetic acid and/or acetate and an oxygen-containing gas as starting materials in the presence of a solid acid catalyst in an electrolytic cell. An object to be cleaned is sterilized/cleaned with an aqueous solution of peracetic acid thus obtained. Peracetic acid can be simply obtained at a reduced cost. The sterilizing/cleaning of an object to be cleaned with peracetic acid can be conducted efficiently.

The receiver set up picks up resultant time varying feeble secondary electromagnetic field produced by transmitter components and a target. The secondary field amplitude is improved by increasing power of the transmitter coil. The transmitter and receiver set up produces an analog signal which is fed to A/D converter to obtain a digital signal to display the obtained data on an LCD display and storing the same data in a digital computer.
