Abstract: System and methods for pre-marshalling messages in an electronic trading environment are provided. Specifically, pre-marshalling messages allows for client and network devices to create messages in response to a defined first condition. Pre-marshalling messages allows a trading system to do more processing up front before the message is needed and when a second condition is satisfied. Thus, when the message is needed no further or very little processing must be performed to generate and send the message. The client and/or network device may allocate a separate, unused, or under-utilized processing thread to the task of creating pre-marshalled messages. Pre-marshalled messages may be stored in memory at the network device until it is determined that the second condition has been satisfied. Once a pre-marshalled message is sent, the unused pre-marshalled messages that were stored in memory may be deleted or may be overwritten with newly pre-marshalled messages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a diaphragm assembly of an aperture diaphragm for delimiting the coating region which is operative in the deposition of a layer and to a sputtering device which uses the diaphragm assembly. The diaphragm assembly comprises a main part (13) which has a passage (14) delimited by a passage edge. The aim of the invention is to design the diaphragm opening to be temporally and geometrically variable in situ. This is achieved in that the diaphragm assembly has at least one diaphragm plate (17, 17?, 17?) which is assembled on the main part (13) so as to be movable in front of the passage (14) and back. The diaphragm assembly additionally comprises a movement device which is operatively connected to the diaphragm plate (17, 17?, 17?) in order to carry out the movement thereof.
