Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and computer program product for developing distributed applications, integrating component programs, integrating enterprise applications and managing change. The invention provides for an infrastructure where component programs that are the computational logic of the distributed application are installed over a network of computing units having controller programs running on each of these computing units. The invention provides for separating the concerns of computation, installation, execution and monitoring of the distributed application in terms of time, space and people involved. This is accomplished as the component programs simply perform the computation task and the communication between the component programs and their monitoring is handled by the controller programs.

Abstract: A scanner (12), computer (2), and printer (13) are preferably combined within a single housing (1). The scanner (12) optically scans an input paper document (11) into a storage buffer (22) within the computer (2). The scanned information (22) is edited by automatic means (21), human-activated means (23, 3), or some combination thereof. The edited information is printed by the printer (13) onto the original input paper document (11). A single preferably linear paper transport mechanism (4) is used to move the document (11) through the scanner (12) and the printer (13). An authentication code (14, 16) may be superimposed onto the document (11) to prevent the unauthorized editing thereof.

Abstract: A programmable read only memory (PROM) includes a first plurality of conductive lines, a second plurality of conductive lines and polycrystalline silicon material therebetween. At the crossing points of the first and second plurality of lines doped regions are provided in the polycrystalline silicon in contact with a second line and which extend at least partially through the material. To provide a diode interconnect at any crossing point, the associated region is irradiated by a laser beam to either cause diffusion of dopant atoms to the underlaying conductive line or activate implanted ions, thereby electrically interconnecting the first and second lines through a diode. The PROM is readily fabricated as part of a monolithic integrated circuit or electrical array and can be programmed after completion of the fabrication process.
