Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for switching serialization techniques for handling concurrent write requests to a shared file. A first node serializes write requests from client nodes to write to the shared file. The first node determines whether to switch to a second node to manage write quests to the shared file based on a pattern of write requests to the shared file. The client nodes are notified to direct write requests to the shared file to the second node in response to determining to switch to the second node. The second node processes write requests to the shared file to serialize writes to the shared file after the client nodes are notified to submit the write requests to the shared file to the second node.

The top edge of the inner curtain is located at a waist region of the main body portion and the inner curtain extends downwardly therefrom and the bottom edge of the inner curtain is disposed above the bottom edge of the main body portion. The inner curtain is intended to be tucked into a bottom garment, while the outer layer is intended to be worn untucked.

Abstract: Organometallic solutions have been found to provide high resolution radiation based patterning using thin coatings. The patterning can involve irradiation of the coated surface with a selected pattern and developing the pattern with a developing agent to form the developed image. The patternable coatings may be susceptible to positive-tone patterning or negative-tone patterning based on the use of an organic developing agent or an aqueous acid or base developing agent. The radiation sensitive coatings can comprise a metal oxo/hydroxo network with organic ligands. A precursor solution can comprise an organic liquid and metal polynuclear oxo-hydroxo cations with organic ligands having metal carbon bonds and/or metal carboxylate bonds.

Abstract: Organometallic radiation resist compositions are described based on tin ions with alkyl ligands. Some of the compositions have branched alkyl ligands to provide for improved patterning contrast while maintaining a high degree of solution stability. Blends of compounds with distinct alkyl ligands can provide further improvement in the patterning. High resolution patterning with a half-pitch of no more than 25 nm can be achieved with a line width roughness of no more than about 4.5 nm. Synthesis techniques have been developed that allow for the formation of alkyl tin oxide hydroxide compositions with very low metal contamination.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for photochemically synthesizing tetrachloromethane in an industrial scale using a plurality of arrays or channels of light emitting diodes. A wavelength output by an SLM lamp is customized to bias the photochemical reaction towards a target reaction and target product and away from a side reaction and side product. The higher yield of the target product improved efficiency and reduces the need for complex purification for removal of the side product.

The example may also include plotting a midpoint of the first vector and triggering display of the plotted vector and plotted midpoint. The plotted vector and plotted midpoint may be displayed over a coordinate grid having multiple physiological condition zones.

Data evicted from a first level memory is copied to an initial bucket comprising one of the buckets. Data is moved from a source bucket comprising one of the buckets, including the initial bucket, to a target bucket of the buckets having a target threshold access count range including an access count of the data to move.

Abstract: Organometallic precursors are described for the formation of high resolution lithography patterning coatings based on metal oxide hydroxide chemistry. The precursor compositions generally comprise ligands readily hydrolysable by water vapor or other OH source composition under modest conditions. The organometallic precursors generally comprise a radiation sensitive organo ligand to tin that can result in a coating that can be effective for high resolution patterning at relatively low radiation doses and is particularly useful for EUV patterning. The precursors compositions are readily processable under commercially suitable conditions. Solution phase processing with in situ hydrolysis or vapor based deposition can be used to form the coatings.

Abstract: Patterning compositions are described based on organo tin dodecamers with hydrocarbyl ligands, oxo ligands, hydroxo ligands and carboxylato ligands. Alternative dodecamer embodiments have organo tin ligands in place of hydrocarbyl ligands. The organo tin ligands can be incorporated into the dodecamers from a monomer with the structure (RCC)3SnQ, where R is a hydrocarbyl group and Q is a alkyl tin moiety with a carbon bonded to the Sn atom of the monomer and with a Sn bonded as a replacement of a quaternary carbon atom with bonds to 4 carbon atoms. Some or all of the carboxylato and hydroxyl ligands can be replaced with fluoride ions. Good EUV patterning results are obtained with the dodecamer based patterning compositions.
