Abstract: An intelligent distributed virtual server for providing distributed services to a plurality of clients, including one or more servers units, each server units storing data and providing services for accessing by one or more clients; a switch for connecting the clients to the server units and to provide a communication link; and a distribution control station connected to the clients and the server units via the switch, wherein the distribution control station receives a request for a service from a client, and automatically, selectively establishes a data link between that client and an server unit, which stores the requested data and provides services, such that the server unit provides the data stream to the client via the communication link, independent of other server units. The capacity of the intelligent distributed virtual server can be dynamically expanded without interrupt the normal server operation.

Abstract: Supporting multiple users concurrent login and providing each user to be able to perform multiple concurrent tasks in his/her computer work environment are very critical to modem computer user working environment, which is running on top of modem operating system, due to it greatly improved machine efficiency and user's productivities. Therefore, supporting multiple users concurrent login CCDSVM through each user's web-browser and providing each user to be able to perform multiple concurrent tasks in his/her single login web-browser over resources of CCDSVM will qualify the conventional web-browser to be a new means of a computer user working environment at the Internet era.

Abstract: The distributed virtual SAN infrastructure provides a plurality of host systems with a scalable dynamic expandable distributed virtual storage pool, which includes a virtual storage automatic construct protocol. The distributed virtual SAN infrastructure includes one or more IP SAN units, the management console, the distributing control management station and the network infrastructure, wherein the network infrastructure provides the communication links between all systems in this distributed virtual SAN.

Abstract: With the ever increasing size and the explorative growth of digital document and content, the traditional electronic information exchanging tool such as email and instant message, web-meeting etc. can not fully satisfy massive user's needs. With the development of central controlled distributed scalable virtual machine (CCDSVM) and the web-based computer user working (operating) environment (WCUWE), the problems mentioned above can be easily solved by introduce a common “dynamic work space” technology of this invention within frame work of CCDSVM and WCUWE. With “dynamic work space” technology, user can use conventional browser to instantly post or un-post messages, digital documents or contents or said resources without install specialized software, without size limitation, with security, and further to obtain capability of anywhere and anytime peer-to-peer exchanging information within organized user-group or in one-to-one fashion.

Abstract: A method of cleaning a spin coater apparatus is provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises providing a spin coater apparatus having a coater cup comprising a basin with sidewalls, a rotatable platform situated inside the cup adapted for holding and rotating a wafer to be coated, and a solvent dispensing means mounted under the rotatable platform; placing the substrate on the rotatable platform; rotating the rotatable platform; continuously dispensing a cleaning solvent from the solvent dispensing means to rinse the backside of the wafer with the cleaning solvent and to pre-wet an interior surface of the sidewalls; and dispensing a coating material upon the wafer, the substrate mounted on the rotatable platform.

Abstract: The multiple simultaneous concurrent tasks support on web-based console provides a way to let CCDSVM to be operated like a single machine. The combined software modules of CCDSVM have actually formed a model of web-based computer user work environment, which runs on top of a generic operating system, for either a single system or a group of system. To achieve multi-tasks support on web-console for CCDSVM, the control management station shall has console supporting software modules and web server software, the console host shall has web-browser, and the system units shall has service software modules. The console supporting software modules shall include a user space task list to store all tasks initiated by users from web-consoles.

Abstract: The distributed virtual SAN infrastructure provides a plurality of host systems with a scalable dynamically expandable distributed virtual storage pool, which powered by a virtual storage automatic construct protocol. The distributed virtual SAN infrastructure includes one or more IP SAN units, the management console, the distributing control management station and the network infrastructure, wherein, the network infrastructure provides the communication links between all systems in this distributed virtual SAN. The storage of any IP SAN unit can be shared and accessed by multiple hosts. On the other hand, a single host may be assigned and able to access multiple volumes from multiple IP SAN units, which in fact, effectively provide each host a virtual scalable storage system. In addition, the storage accessing goes directly through communication link between hosts and SAN units, which means it is out-band accessed.

Abstract: A video server for communicating content to a plurality of clients, including one or more network attached storage (NAS) servers, each NAS server storing content files for access by one or more clients; a switch for connecting the clients to the NAS servers in response to control signals, via a communication link; and a management control station connected to the clients and the NAS servers via the switch, wherein the management control station receives a request for a content file from a client, and selectively establishes a data stream between that client and an NAS server which stores the requested content file, such that the NAS server provides the content file to the client via the data stream, independent of other NAS servers.
