Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor, a dual in-line memory module (DIMM), and a memory controller coupled to the DIMM. The memory controller provides interrupts to the processor each time a read transaction from the DIMM results in a correctable read error. The processor instantiates a failure predictor that receives the interrupts, accumulates a count of the interrupts, and provides an error indication when the count exceeds an error threshold. The failure predictor receives a first in time interrupt, suspends the accumulation of the count for a first duration of time in response to receiving the first in time interrupt, and resumes the accumulation of the count. In resuming the accumulation of the count, the failure predictor increments the count each time the predictor receives a first subsequent interrupt and decrements the count in accordance with an error leak rate.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel reagents and a cloning procedure based on homologous recombination for the site-directed cloning of a DNA fragment to a vector at designed site(s). The cloning reagents are made of mixture of extracts from at least two different cell types, preferably a mixture made of extracts from wild-type E. coli and S. Cerevisiae. Due to the activity of the mixture of cell extracts, recombination occurs between the 3? and 5?-ends of the target DNA and at the ends of linearized vector, which facilitates in-frame construction of expression vectors.

Abstract: A method, an information handling system (IHS) and a memory mirroring system for operating a mirrored memory. The method includes detecting, via a memory controller, at least one uncorrectable data error (UCDE) in a first memory device. In response to detecting the at least one UCDE, a UCDE event counter is retrieved that tracks the number of UCDE events that have occurred and a UCDE event threshold is retrieved corresponding to a maximum number of allowed UCDE events. The method further includes determining if the UCDE event counter is greater than the UCDE event threshold and in response to determining that the UCDE event counter is not greater than the UCDE event threshold, continuing writing of data to the first memory device via a first memory channel and continuing writing of the data to a second memory device via a second memory channel to create a mirror of the data.

Abstract: A method of laser processing a workpiece includes: focusing a pulsed laser beam into a laser beam focal line directed into the workpiece such that the laser beam focal line generates an induced absorption and produces a defect line along the laser beam focal line within the workpiece. The laser beam focal line has length L and a substantially uniform intensity profile such that the peak intensity distribution over at least 85% of the length L of the focal line does not vary by more 40%, and in some embodiments by no more than 30 or 20% from its mean peak intensity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing system crashes due to memory link failure in memory mirroring mode in an information handling system (IHS). The IHS may include a first memory device, a second memory device, and an integrated memory controller (IMC). The IMC may issue write transactions to both the first and second memory devices and issue read transactions to the first memory device when the IMC is in memory mirroring mode. The IMC may transmit a system management interrupt (SMI) with an IMC error to a basic input/output system (BIOS) when a persistent uncorrected IMC error is detected within the first memory device. The BIOS may perform a memory mirror failover process that may cause the IMC to issue the write transactions and the read transactions to the second memory device when the IMC error is a fatal memory link error.
