  • Patent number: 11949650
    Abstract: A system and method for improving network performance of DNS queries. The system includes a terminal which receives DNS queries from a customer premise equipment (CPE), and supplies matching DNS records in response to the queries. The terminal monitors all traffic from the CPE and generates a preload list containing domains and a time schedule at which name resolution should be requested for the domains. A DNS preload client in the CPE receives the preload list from the terminal, and submits preload DNS queries for name resolution of domains contained in the preload list at times specified in the time schedule. Preload records supplied in response to the preload DNS queries are stored by the CPE and used to resolve DNS queries from applications installed on the CPE.

  • Publication number: 20160333463
    Abstract: A rotating magnetron sputtering cathode apparatus comprising a radio frequency power supply, a power delivery assembly, a cylindrical rotating cathode, a shaft and a drive motor, wherein the power delivery assembly comprises a magnetic field source positioned within the cathode and an electrode extending within said cathode to transmit radio frequency energy to target material on the outer surface of the cathode. The electrode is electrically isolated from the shaft, and is formed from non-ferrous materials, and the shaft is mechanically connected to the cathode such that they remain electrically isolated while the cathode rotates about the magnetic field source and a portion of the electrode. The power supply is adapted to supply radio frequency energy at frequencies of 1 MHz or higher and is electrically connected to the electrode.

  • Publication number: 20140302238
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for the evaporation and deposition of materials onto a substrate. A material hopper assembly may receive source material. An agitator mechanism may be controlled for urging or advancing forward the source material. A grinding mechanism may be controlled for grinding source material. A heating pot vessel may be heated to evaporate the source material. The evaporated source material may be deposited on a proximate substrate. The rate of the deposition may be controlled in part by the agitator mechanism and/or the grinding mechanism. Temperature zones in a heating pot vessel may be independently controlled to evaporate the source material. A reactor chamber may be heated to allow the evaporated source materials to interact. A heated mesh may be charged to accelerate particles of the evaporated source materials onto the substrate.

  • Patent number: 7625471
    Abstract: A sputtering cathode assembly attachable to a cathode mounting plate for a thin-film vapor deposition chamber. The cathode assembly includes a magnet module and a cathode body generally coextensive with and sealingly housing the magnet module and defining a water channel between a top plate of the cathode body and a cooling channel plate of the magnet module. An elongated target is releasably connected atop and coextensive with the top plate and secured in place by a unique threaded fastener engagement between a target clamp and an edge portion of the cathode body whereby the target is replaceable without disassembly of the cathode body. Unique replaceable elongated fastener receiving inserts releasably secure said target against the target plate to effect target replacement without disassembly of the cathode body.
