Publication number: 20240098115Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for dispatching requests to service instances based on data storage boundaries. A request specifying an identity is received and dispatched to a service instance of a data storage boundary, where each data storage boundary is defined by a regulation or policy restricting data storage of specific types of data to computing devices within a specified boundary. A feedback response, specifying a target location, is received from the service instance in response to determining that the service instance cannot access the data because the data is associated with a different data storage boundary. A dynamic dispatch rule specifying the identity and the target location is generated and a subsequent request specifying the identity is processed by executing this dynamic dispatch rule to dispatch the subsequent request directly to a service instance associated with the target location.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Thomas Dürr, Martin Smolny, Michael Beck, Daniel Pittner

Publication number: 20210312113Abstract: In modern VLSI technology, often, stacked arrays of smaller sized MOSFETs are used to achieve the desired width and length of a design MOSFET. In analog defect simulation, each physical transistor can contribute to the circuit's defect universe and this can directly lead to tremendous increase in defect simulation time. Here we propose a method of finding equivalent defects in the context of stacked MOSFET arrays that can lead to significant reduction in defect simulation effort and yet provide accurate defect coverage results.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Applicant: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Mayukh BHATTACHARYA, Michal Jerzy Rewienski, Shan Yuan, Michael Durr, Chih Ping Antony Fan

Patent number: 8801339Abstract: A conveyor device is used for the pneumatic conveying of bulk material. The conveyor device has a main conveyor pipe and a plurality of bypass conveyor pipe sections which are separate from one another and arranged one behind the other within the latter. The main extent direction of the bypass conveyor pipe sections runs along the main conveyor pipe. The bypass conveyor pipe sections in each case have an inlet opening and an outlet opening for conveyor gas. The inlet opening, when the main conveyor pipe is horizontally installed, is arranged in a cross sectional portion of the main conveyor pipe, which is located above a cross sectional portion of the main conveyor pipe, in which the outlet opening is arranged. The result is a conveyor device, of which the efficiency, in other words the ratio of the conveying power and the conveyor gas quantity used, is improved.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Coperion GmbHInventors: Michael Dürr, Reinhard Ernst, Klaus-Peter Lang, Heiko Schwibode, Friedrich Straub, Egon Zechner, Jochen Kniess

Publication number: 20120213876Abstract: A device for producing granules has a water-cooled granulating mechanism for producing plastics material granules. A discharge line arranged downstream of the granulating mechanism discharges a starting mixture flow and a granule heat exchanger arranged downstream of the discharge line controls the temperature of the mixture containing the plastics material granules and cooling water using parallel fluid passages. The granule heat exchanger has an inlet and an outlet for a transmission heat exchanger medium. A drying mechanism arranged downstream of the granule heat exchanger dries the plastics material granules. The device also may have an energy recovery mechanism arranged downstream of the discharge line for recovering energy from a recovery cooling water flow, containing at least a part of the cooling water of the starting mixture flow. The device uses waste heat, transmitted to the cooling water to increase the performance of the device and improve the energy efficiency thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2012Publication date: August 23, 2012Applicant: COPERION GMBHInventors: Bernhard STARK, Michael AHLGRIMM, Markus NICKLAS, Olaf HUSTERT, Michael DÜRR, Günther DEHM
