Patent number: 9967749Abstract: Secure NFC interactions with a server information handling system management controller, such as a baseboard management controller, are supported with an NFC application running on a mobile information handling system. A private key is applied by the mobile application to create an application hash that a baseboard management controller verifies to authorize access by the NFC application. The private key encrypts a user name and password so that the baseboard management controller decrypts the user credentials to look up access privileges in a security database. If user privileges include access to components, the baseboard management controller automatically actuates locks to provide access.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Travis Taylor, Syed S. Ahmed, John R. Palmer

Patent number: 9953825Abstract: An apparatus and system for plasma processing a substrate using RF power includes a chamber having walls for housing an electrostatic chuck (ESC) and a top electrode. The top electrode is oriented opposite the ESC to define a processing region. An inner line with a tubular shaped wall is defined within and is spaced apart from the walls of the chamber and is oriented to surround the processing region. The tubular shaped wall extends a height between a top and a bottom. The tubular shaped wall has functional openings for substrate access and facilities access and dummy openings oriented to define symmetry for selected ones of the functional openings. A plurality of straps are connected to the bottom of the tubular shaped wall of the inner liner and are electrically coupled to a ground ring within the chamber to provide an RF power return path during plasma processing.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2012Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: David Carman, Travis Taylor, Devin Ramdutt
