Abstract: A method and service to encrypt data at rest on disks that are managed by a container orchestrator (CO) using a container storage interface (CSI). The method and service including intercepting a request transferred from a CO to a CSI plugin and sending the intercepted request to an encryption proxy plugin. The method and service also including examining the request to determine if encryption is needed. In response to encryption being needed, performing encryption on the volume. The method and service also transferring the intercepted request to the container storage interface plugin.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of spindle arms located above a plurality of stations in a processing chamber to transport a semiconductor substrate between the stations. The spindle arms reside in the processing chamber during processing of the semiconductor substrate. The system comprises first gas lines arranged below the stations to supply a purge gas. The system comprises second gas lines extending upwards from the first gas lines to supply the purge gas to the spindle arms during the processing of the semiconductor substrate in the processing chamber.

Abstract: When performing data encryption at rest of data residing on Kubernetes persistent volume, existing methods rely on storage provider's encryption capabilities, which instill limitations that hinder deployment. Accordingly, systems and methods are described that receive a Pod specification comprising a disk encryption request and automatically annotate the specification to include specifications for the disk encryption (e.g., secret, key, etc.) to mount a persistent volume having a disk encrypted according to the generated specification.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein include automatically curating data within a computing system. Systems and methods involve performing with one or more processor: receiving an algorithm; identifying a storage system within the computing system; executing the algorithm within the storage system; in response to executing the algorithm within the storage system, identifying one or more files; and deleting the one or more identified files from the computing system.

Abstract: A method comprises arranging an apparatus on a top surface of a pedestal in a processing chamber. The apparatus comprises an annular member, N supporting members, and N pins, where N is an integer greater than two. The N supporting members support the annular member in a plane parallel to and above the top surface of the pedestal. The N pins are arranged perpendicularly to the plane along a circumference around the annular member. Each of the N pins includes threads engageable with respective threaded slots in the apparatus. Each of the N pins includes a conical end pointing towards the top surface of the pedestal and engageable with a periphery of the top surface of the pedestal. The method further comprises aligning a center of the annular member to a center of the pedestal by adjusting one or more of the N pins.

Abstract: Electronic conferences provide a means by which people who are not co-located may interact, such as to solve a problem. As described herein, an event (e.g., an email or automatically generated message reporting a fault or abnormal state) of a monitored system may provide an input into a conferencing system that, based on the event, automatically invites and configures resources required to resolve the cause of the event. Resources may be human resources automatically connected to the convergence via a communication device and/or software resources (e.g., tools, applications) necessary to investigate, resolve, and apply a resolution to the system.

Abstract: A device may receive source data identifying source enterprise software and may process the source data to determine field mapping data. The device may process the source data, with a first model, to determine implementation guide data identifying implementation guides, and the device may convert data configurations from the source data to target data configurations. The device may generate transport request management data for the target enterprise software based on the source data and the implementation guide data and may process the source data and the implementation guide data, with a second model, to determine copy functionality data identifying functionality of the source enterprise software to be copied. The device may process the source data, with a third model, to determine consolidation data identifying the source data to be consolidated and may configure the target enterprise software, based on the determined data, to generate configured target enterprise software.

Abstract: Network resource monitoring systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a network resource monitoring method comprises: gathering network resource pre-monitoring information, including information indicating whether a network resource is associated with a zone, and if associated with a zone also gathering information indicating zone type; performing a network resource monitoring process on the network resource based on results of the gathered network resource pre-monitoring information; including performing a network resource monitoring process when the network resource is in a local zone that does not otherwise make available or share information with a global zone; and analyzing the results of the network resource monitoring process. In one embodiment, if the network resource is included in an exclusive IP zone.

Abstract: A system and method for efficient upgrading of computing system software. A computing system includes clients and one or more servers coupled to a network. Cluster server software allows the clients and server(s) to work together as a cluster. This software is platform- and version-specific depending on the customer. Each customer has a customized configuration with customer-dependent edits performed on the original configuration. When a new-release configuration is made available, the three configurations are translated to abstract object trees. A series of predetermined abstract operations are preformed on the abstract object trees in order to generate a target abstract object tree. The target abstract object tree is translated to a target file, wherein the target file includes the common portions between the original and new-release configurations and the merged upgrades of the customized and new-release configurations.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for attaching a flip chip to an electrical substrate such as a printed wiring board. A bumped flip chip is provided, the flip chip including an active surface and a plurality of connective bumps extending from the active surface, each connective bump including a side region. A thin layer of an underfill material is applied to the active surface of the flip chip and to a portion of the side regions of the connective bumps. The flip chip is positioned on the electrical substrate, the electrical substrate including a thick layer of a solder mask disposed on the electrical substrate. The flip chip is heated to electrically connect the flip chip to the electrical substrate, wherein the underfill material and the solder mask combine to form a stress-relief layer when the flip chip is electrically connected to the electrical substrate.

Abstract: A bumped semiconductor device (10) exhibiting enhanced pattern recognition when illuminated in a machine vision system. The semiconductor device has a substantially coplanar array of solder bumps (16) and a coating of underfill material (17) on one face. A fluxing composition (18) containing an image enhancing agent is selectively deposited over at least two of the solder bumps in the array to modify the optical characteristics of the solder bumps to cause the solder bumps to appear bright against the background of the underfill material when the semiconductor device is illuminated (19) by selected wavelengths of light.
