20120239899 | Leasing Fragmented Storage Between Processes - A mechanism is provided for leasing fragmented storage between processes. The mechanism comprises a fragmented memory manager associated with instances of virtual memory managers to provide a pool of memory that may lease from the owners of the memory and in turn sub-let the memory for use by other processes or owners. The mechanism allows programs to operate under normal conditions until fragmentation sets. A different memory manager leases those fragmented memory blocks from processes to create a virtually contiguous block of memory that it can sub-lease to processes in need of temporary expansion beyond the memory available for the processes under normal circumstances. | 09-20-2012 |
20130191891 | AUTOMATIC PROVISIONING OF RESOURCES FOR MEETING COLLABORATION - A method may comprise maintaining by a computer system connected to a network an indication of availability dates and times of one or more output devices connected to the network. The computer system may receive an output device invitation indicating an output device to reserve for a meeting conducted over a conferencing system and determine whether the output device is available for reservation during a date and time period of the meeting. The computer system may be communicating over the network to the output device activation information indicating that the output device is to become active at a predetermined date and time related to the date and time period of the meeting and login information including a credential for the output device to use for logging into the conferencing system for the meeting. | 07-25-2013 |
20130191896 | AUTOMATIC PROVISIONING OF RESOURCES FOR MEETING COLLABORATION - A system for provisioning an output device, may include a processor; a memory; and a records display program. The records display program may be executed by the processor to maintain an indication of availability dates and times of one or more output devices connected to the network; to receive an output device invitation indicating a first output device to reserve at a meeting conducted over a conferencing system; to determine whether the first output device is available for reservation during a date and time period of the meeting; and to communicate to the first output device activation information indicating that the first output device is to become active at a first predetermined date and time related to the date and time period of the meeting and login information including a first credential for the first output device to use for logging into the conferencing system for the meeting. | 07-25-2013 |

20140215632 | PREVENTING THE DETECTION AND THEFT OF USER ENTRY ALPHANUMERIC SECURITY CODES ON COMPUTER TOUCH SCREEN KEYPADS - Preventing, discernible patterns of surface marks resulting from the repetitive entry of security codes to computer device touch screen alphanumeric keypads. There is predetermined the number of security code entries after which the positions of the representative keys in the keypad array should be reconfigured. This predetermined number should be the number of security code entries estimated to produce a pattern of distinguishable display surface marks coincident with a users repetitive entry alphanumeric character security code. The number of security code entries is counted. When the count of the predetermined number of security code entries has been reached, the representative keys in the displayed keypad array are reconfigured. This implementation is equally effective against thieves who are visually stealing the security codes over the user's shoulder. | 07-31-2014 |
20150030148 | Key Code for a Conference Operation - Methods, products, apparatuses, and systems may facilitate a conference operation. The conference operation may include conference chaining, conference switching, conference modification, conference announcement, and so on. A collection of authentication data for a plurality of distinct conferences may be performed to chain the conferences. Switching among the distinct conference may be performed in response to a switch key code. The switch key code may include a general key code applicable to each of the conferences and/or a specific key code application to a specific conference. | 01-29-2015 |

20140195771 | ANTICIPATORILY LOADING A PAGE OF MEMORY - In a particular embodiment, a method of anticipatorily loading a page of memory is provided. The method may include, during execution of first program code using a first page of memory, collecting data for at least one attribute of the first page of memory, including collecting data about at least one next page of memory that interacts with the first page of memory for a historical topology attribute of the first page of memory. The method may also include, during execution of second program code using the first page of memory, determining a second page of memory to anticipatorily load based on the historical topology attribute of the first page of memory. | 07-10-2014 |
20140291802 | SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES WITH METAL LINES - Disclosed are semiconductor structures with metal lines and methods of manufacture which reduce or eliminate extrusion formation. The method includes forming a metal wiring comprising a layered structure of metal materials with an upper constraining layer. The method further includes forming a film on the metal wiring which prevents metal extrusion during an annealing process. | 10-02-2014 |
20150021743 | UNIFORM ROUGHNESS ON BACKSIDE OF A WAFER - Substrates (wafers) with uniform backside roughness and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes forming a material on a backside of a wafer. The method further includes patterning the material to expose portions of the backside of the wafer. The method further includes roughening the backside of the wafer through the patterned material to form a uniform roughness. | 01-22-2015 |
20150035117 | METHOD FOR REDUCING LATERAL EXTRUSION FORMED IN SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES AND SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES FORMED THEREOF - Aspects of the present invention relate to method for reducing lateral extrusion formed in semiconductor structures and semiconductor structures formed thereof. Various embodiments include a method for reducing lateral extrusion formed in semiconductor structures. The method can include removing a portion of a first lateral extrusion in an aluminum layer of the semiconductor structure, and determining a post-removal thickness of a dielectric layer positioned adjacent the aluminum layer. The post-removal thickness may be determined subsequent to the removing of the portion of the first lateral extrusion. The method can also include determining a difference between the post-removal thickness of the dielectric layer and a pre-removal thickness of the dielectric layer. | 02-05-2015 |
