Abstract: A method and system for network level and protocol agnostic frame replication and elimination in a time-sensitive communications network to improve reliability of frame and packet transmission across the time-sensitive communications network. The method includes replication of a plurality of sequential frames delivered to a communications network across a plurality of member streams distributed across a plurality of interconnected switches of the communications network, wherein each frame of the plurality of sequential frames is identifiable via a sequence number and a member stream number inserted into each frame, whereupon receipt of each frame at an egress switch of the communications network, each frame is examined to determine which member stream the frame originated from, where the frame belongs in the plurality of sequential frames, and whether that frame has already been received from another member stream. All duplicate frames are eliminated, and each frame is egressed in sequential order.

Abstract: A credit card, debit card, or other similar financial instrument is disclosed with the temporary assignment of a dynamic CVV for increased card security. The dynamic CVV is read, changed, and rewritten to the card with each transaction. To facilitate online purchases, a static CVV may also be provided for manual entry. Alternatively, the static CVV may be a reminder enabling a user to remember an unmarked static CVV, such as reading the digits in an order selected by a user, much like a PIN number.

Abstract: A system and method for customer-oriented searching and purchasing of goods and services relies on a database having records corresponding to purveyors, products and services, and purchasers and maintained by a third party independent from all the foregoing. Searches may obtain information with or without cooperation of purveyors (vendors). Filtering before presentation to a user, according to specific needs or requirements eliminates inapplicable vendors, products, or services. Particularly, if quality rating, features, or actual availability is lacking, the system does not waste a user's time to evaluate. Deal-killer parameters and values punish vendors lacking disclosure. Rather than publish what the seller wants to advertise, the system retrieves for a user the information on items that meet criteria of, and according to their importance to, a user, especially deal-killer parameters.

Abstract: A method and semiconductor wafer is provided for measurement and recordation of hydrophilic elements in semiconductor insulators by depositing a moisture barrier layer over a previously deposited insulating layer of a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafers become pilot or calibration wafers which may be placed immediately in an infrared radiation instrument to allow measurement of the concentration of hydrophilic elements in the insulating layer or stored for recordation purposes and measured later.

Abstract: A cleaning handle is used to clean semiconductor processing equipment to reduce particles. A relatively thin handle is formed for insertion into difficult to reach areas and, in one end, includes slots for affixing a cleaning wipe. A method for using the cleaning handle to clean semiconductor processing equipment includes affixing a cleaning wipe to the slots, wrapping the cleaning wipe around the end with the slots, and then wiping the semiconductor processing equipment with the cleaning handle. The cleaning wipe can be moistened with a cleaning agent, such as isopropyl alcohol, to improve its effectiveness.
