Publication number: 20120317630Abstract: Methods and systems for authenticating a remote user across heterogeneous authentication systems are disclosed. One method includes receiving domain user credentials at a first heterogeneous authentication system, and transmitting the domain user credentials from the first heterogeneous authentication system to an authentication interface associated with a second heterogeneous authentication system. The method also includes transmitting the domain user credentials from the second heterogeneous authentication system to a centralized authentication system, and receiving at the authentication interface a validation message from the centralized authentication system, thereby authenticating the user. The method further includes determining a local username at the authentication interface based on the domain user credentials. The method includes using the local username to authenticate the user within the first heterogeneous authentication system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2011Publication date: December 13, 2012Inventor: Richard Goldberg

Publication number: 20120303927Abstract: Methods and systems for managing memory allocation requests are disclosed. Generally, the methods and systems relate to splitting and combining twin buffers for allocating memory of appropriate sizes in response to memory requests. One method disclosed is a method of allocating storage space in a memory of a computing system. The method includes receiving a memory allocation request, the memory allocation request defining a requested memory size, and the memory logically segmented into a plurality of blocks. The method also includes determining whether a block having a best-fit size is available from a buffer pool, the buffer pool selected from among the one or more buffer pools and defining a set of available blocks of a common size. The method includes, upon determining that no block having the best-fit size is available in the buffer pool, locating an available block from a second buffer pool from among the one or more buffer pools, the available block having a size twice the best-fit size.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2011Publication date: November 29, 2012Inventor: Richard Goldberg

Publication number: 20100320395Abstract: An ion source is disclosed for use in fabrication of semiconductors. The ion source includes an electron emitter that includes a cathode mounted external to the ionization chamber for use in fabrication of semiconductors. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the electron emitter is employed without a corresponding anode or electron optics. As such, the distance between the cathode and the ionization chamber can be shortened to enable the ion source to be operated in an arc discharge mode or generate a plasma. Alternatively, the ion source can be operated in a dual mode with a single electron emitter by selectively varying the distance between the cathode and the ionization chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2010Publication date: December 23, 2010Applicant: SemEquip, Inc.Inventors: Sami K. Hahto, Richard Goldberg, Edward McIntyre, Thomas N. Horsky

Publication number: 20090183679Abstract: An ion source is disclosed which includes a gas reaction chamber. The invention also includes a method of converting a gaseous feed material into a tetramer, dimer, other molecule or atomic species by supplying the feed material to the gas reaction chamber wherein the feed material is converted to the appropriate gas species to be supplied to the ion source and ionized. More particularly, the gas reaction chamber is configured to receive hydride and other feed materials in gaseous form, such as, AsH3 or PH3, and generate various molecular and atomic species for use in ion implantation, heretofore unknown. In one embodiment of the invention, the gas is relatively uniformly heated to provide relatively accurate control of the molecular or atomic species generated. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the gas reaction chamber uses a catalytic surface to convert the feed gas into the different source gas specie required for implantation, such as, hydrides into tetramer molecules.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2009Publication date: July 23, 2009Inventors: Edward McIntyre, Richard Goldberg

Publication number: 20060006369Abstract: A method is provided of making and using a walk behind rotary trowel that is “dynamically balanced” so as to minimize the forces/torque that the operator must endure to control and guide the trowel. Characteristics that are accounted for by this method include, but are not limited to, friction, engine torque, machine center of gravity, and guide handle position. As a result, dynamic balancing and consequent force/torque reduction were found to result when the machine's center of gravity was shifted substantially relative to a typical machine's center of gravity. Dynamic balancing can be achieved most practically by reversing the orientation of the engine relative to the guide handle assembly when compared to traditional walk behind rotary trowels and shifting the engine as far as practical to the right. This shifting has been found to reduce the operational forces and torque the operator must endure by at least 50% when compared to traditional machines.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2005Publication date: January 12, 2006Inventors: Todd Lutz, Gregory Kruepke, Darrin Dauffenbach, Richard Goldberg
