  • Patent number: 11942324
    Abstract: A method of promoting adhesion between a dielectric layer of a semiconductor device and a metal fill deposited within a trench in the dielectric layer, including performing an ion implantation process wherein an ion beam formed of an ionized dopant species is directed into the trench at an acute angle relative to a top surface of the dielectric layer to form an implantation layer in a sidewall of the trench, and depositing a metal fill in the trench atop an underlying bottom metal layer, wherein the metal fill adheres to the sidewall.

  • Patent number: 10783086
    Abstract: A method for accessing data is provide, the method includes: receiving a first address and identification information used to identify an address type; and when the identification information indicates a logical address type, converting the first address into a first physical address, and accessing at least one corresponding flash memory chip in the storage device; or when the identification information indicates a physical address type, directly accessing at least one corresponding flash memory chip in the storage device. When the storage device is accessed, a type of an accessed address is determined according to the identification information. If the address is a logical address, the storage controller maps the logical address to a physical address and accesses the physical address; or if the address is a physical address, the storage controller directly accesses the physical address sent by the host.

  • Patent number: 9872330
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to avoiding data loss following a handoff from a second packet data serving node (PDSN) back to a first PDSN before an expiration of a session inactivity timer at the first PDSN. An aspect includes detecting, by an access terminal, a handoff from the first PDSN to the second PDSN, in response to the detecting, starting, by the access terminal, a session keep timer corresponding to the session inactivity timer, the session inactivity timer indicating a maximum amount of time the first PDSN will maintain an inactive communication session with the access terminal, and, based on whether the session keep timer has expired, transmitting, by the access terminal, a plurality of data packets to a server until an acknowledgment is received from the server.

  • Patent number: 9420500
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an access terminal detects that the access network has completed an idle handoff to a new access network (e.g., a new base station of a cellular network, etc.). The access terminal begins an idle handoff timer with a given expiration period in response to the detection. The access terminal eventually determines that the idle handoff timer has expired. In response to the expiration determination and before the access terminal is paged in the new access network, the access terminal sends at least one data packet to request set-up of network parameters for the access terminal within the new access network that are sufficient to permit the access terminal to receive session announcement messages within the new access network.

  • Patent number: 9185596
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for avoiding data loss associated with a quality of service (QoS) reservation failure. One such method of wireless communication operable at an access terminal includes receiving a request from an access network for a preselected communication, establishing a radio link with the access network in response to the received communication request, transmitting a Quality of Service (QoS) reservation request message to the access network to request QoS in response to the received communication request, receiving a QoS reservation rejection message from the access network indicating a rejection of the requested QoS, transmitting a RESV request message to the access network in response to the QoS reservation rejection message, and receiving the preselected communication over a preselected flow in response to the RESV request message.

  • Patent number: 9098556
    Abstract: Tools and techniques for indexing and searching dynamically changing search corpora are provided. These tools may receive requests to upload documents over a network to an online document repository, and present a user interface to facilitate the upload. The user interface may include devices that are responsive to user activation to grant permission to at least one other user to search for content contained within the documents. Through the user interface, these tools may receive selections from the user related to granting the permission, with the documents being associated with share parameters that incorporate the user selections. Finally, the tools may receive identifications of the documents to be uploaded.

  • Patent number: 8458727
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided which enable client-server communication during the execution of a web application to be batched, so as to manage the processing load on server-side components of the web application and the transmission load on the network(s) coupling the client and server. In some embodiments, client-side components of the web application are operable to capture processing events in a change log on the client, and transmit at least a subset of the entries in the change log to the server upon the occurrence of a predetermined event, such as a passage of time since a previous transmission.

  • Patent number: 6381616
    Abstract: A system and method for modifying or converting predicates involving a comparison with a string constant in a query is provided so that the predicates can be evaluated by an external or remote source that uses a different collating sequence, thereby effectively reducing the amount of data sent over a network. Techniques for predicate simplification are also provided for complex predicates. Although it is desirable that the converted predicate precisely match the original predicate, it is not necessary; an imprecise predicate that selects a superset of the target rows is sufficient. Thus, techniques for imprecise conversion are also provided. For an imprecise conversion, the original query is further evaluated against the obtained superset to obtain the final result, whereas for a precise conversion, the returned set is the required set, and no further evaluation is needed.
