Patent number: 8492798Abstract: The electrical fuse includes a cathode pad, an anode pad and a fuse link connecting the cathode pad to the anode pad. The cathode pad includes a group of multiple electrical contacts and a solitary electrical contact disposed a predetermined distance from the group and near the fuse link, i.e., between the group of multiple electrical contacts and the fuse link. The cathode and anode pads as well as the fuse link include a polysilicon layer and a silicide layer.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Altera CorporationInventors: Shih-Lin S. Lee, Richard Smolen, Peter Mcelheny, Christopher Pass

Patent number: 7792791Abstract: Systems and/or methods for establishing and maintaining authenticity of a plurality of records and/or documentary materials to be persisted in an electronic archives system are provided. Each record and/or documentary material may be safeguarded throughout its entire lifecycle by monitoring and recording both intended changes to each said record and/or documentary material and its corresponding status, as well as unintended changes to each said record and/or documentary material. Context and structure associated with each said record and/or documentary material may be extracted and preserved. Substantially uninterrupted proof-of-custody including at least a source may be established and preserved for each said record and/or documentary material throughout its entire lifecycle. Essential characteristics of each said record and/or documentary material may be captured and preserved throughout its lifecycle in dependence on one or more changeable definitions of essential characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2007Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignees: Lockheed Martin Corporation, Hunter Information Management Services, Inc., Fenestra Technologies Corporation, Tessella Inc., Electronic Data Systems CorporationInventors: Richard Smolen, Fred Y. Robinson, Gregory S. Hunter, Roy S. Rogers, IV, Matthew J. McKennirey, Mark J. Evans, Ken Bedford

Patent number: 7783596Abstract: Systems and/or methods for storing and/or retrieving assets in connection with an extremely large scale computer storage system are provided. An asset catalog may comprise a plurality of asset catalog entries stored according to at least one schema and corresponding to a plurality of assets. A storage architecture may be capable of storing the plurality of assets, with the storage architecture comprising a storage locator and a federator. An item identification scheme may be capable of providing identifiers to reference, locate, and/or access said assets and/or said asset catalog entries stored in the asset catalog in the storage architecture. The computer storage system may be scalable essentially without limitation while maintaining asset storage and retrieval flexibility and substantially obsolescence-proof survivability of assets.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignees: Lockheed Martin Corporation, Business Performance SystemsInventors: Richard Smolen, Daniel Earman, Rodney Ripley, David Isaac
