Abstract: A composite hard mask is disclosed. In some embodiments, a first sacrificial hard mask layer comprising an amorphous carbon or silicon nitride and a second sacrificial hard mask layer comprising a silicon nitride, silicon oxide, metal, metal oxide, or metal nitride, wherein the first and second sacrificial hard mask layers are not made of the same material.

Abstract: Obtain, from a subscriber premises gateway, a data packet having a header field including a unique identifier for a combination of the gateway and a connected subscriber IP device. Transport the data packet through an internal network of a broadband service provider. Remove the header field after the transporting and prior to the data packet exiting the internal network of the broadband service provider to an external network. Store, in a subscriber internet protocol device data repository of the broadband service provider, data, including the header field, representing transport of the data packet through the internal network of the broadband service provider to the external network. Detect, based on the data repository, at least one of an internal and an external anomaly associated with the data packet. Initiate at least one mitigation action in response to the detecting of the at least one of an internal and an external anomaly.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a disk for information storage. The disk, in one embodiment, comprises a substrate 204, antiferromagnetically exchange coupled first and second ferromagnetic films 220 and 236, a spacer film 228, and at least one buffer film 232 located between the first and second ferromagnetic films. One or more of the following statements is true with respect to the buffer film 232: (i) the buffer film 232 is paramagnetic; (ii) the buffer film 232 is superparamagnetic at temperatures of about 50° C. or less; and (iii) a lattice mismatch between the buffer film 232 and at least one of the first and second ferromagnetic films 220 and 236 in contact with the buffer film is about 5% or less.
