20080277258 | MEMS plate switch and method of manufacture - Systems and methods for forming an electrostatic MEMS plate switch include forming a deformable plate on a first substrate, forming the electrical contacts on a second substrate, and coupling the two substrates using a hermetic seal. The deformable plate may have a flexible shunt bar which has one end coupled to the deformable plate, and the other end coupled to a contact on the second substrate. Upon activating the switch, the deformable plate urges the shunt bar against a second contact formed in the second substrate, thereby closing the switch. The hermetic seal may be a gold/indium alloy, formed by heating a layer of indium plated over a layer of gold. Electrical access to the electrostatic MEMS switch may be made by forming vias through the thickness of the second substrate. | 11-13-2008 |
20100003772 | Wafer level hermetic bond using metal alloy with raised feature - Systems and methods for forming an encapsulated device include a hermetic seal which seals an insulating environment between two substrates, one of which supports the device. The hermetic seal is formed by an alloy of two metal layers, one deposited on a first substrate and the other deposited on the second substrate, along with a raised feature formed on the first or the second substrate. At least one of the metal layers may be deposited conformally over the raised feature. The raised feature penetrates the molten material of the first or the second metal layers during formation of the alloy, and produces a spectrum of stoichiometries for the formation of the desired alloy, as a function of the distance from the raised feature. At some distance from the raised feature, the proper ratio of the first metal to the second metal exists to form an alloy of the preferred stoichiometry. | 01-07-2010 |
20110024923 | Wafer level hermetic bond using metal alloy with keeper layer - Systems and methods for forming an encapsulated device include a hermetic seal which seals an insulating environment between two substrates, one of which supports the device. The hermetic seal is formed by an alloy of two metal layers, one deposited on a first substrate and the other deposited on the second substrate. At least one of the substrates may include a raised feature formed under at least one of the metal layers. One of the metal layer may have a diffusion barrier layer and a “keeper” layer formed thereover, wherein the keeper layers keeps the metal confined to a particular area. By using such a “keeper” layer, the substrate components may be heated to clean their surfaces, without activating or spending the bonding mechanism. | 02-03-2011 |
20110155548 | Dual substrate MEMS plate switch and method of manufacture - Systems and methods for forming an electrostatic MEMS plate switch include forming a deformable plate on a first substrate, forming the electrical contacts on a second substrate, and coupling the two substrates using a hermetic seal. The deformable plate may have at least one shunt bar located at a nodal line of a vibrational mode of the deformable plate, so that the shunt bar remains relatively stationary when the plate is vibrating in that vibrational mode. A hermetic seal may be made around the device with a larger, secondary enclosure. Electrical access to the deformable plate may be accomplished by an electrical path which is independent of the seal. The electrical path may include a via through the first substrate or the second substrate, or a flash deposited on an external region of the switch. | 06-30-2011 |

20140258537 | Storage Management of a Storage System - A method for storage management in a storage system, such as a storage area network (SAN). A selection of a first target level of storage service quality (e.g., bronze, silver, gold, platinum) for a storage repository to be created in the SAN is received. The first target level of storage service quality represents a level of storage service quality for the storage repository along a first dimension (e.g. performance, availability) of storage service quality. A first set of storage configuration properties associated with the first level of desired storage service quality is determined. One or more storage components of the SAN are allocated to the storage repository based on at least one storage configuration property in the first set of storage configuration properties. | 09-11-2014 |

20140337824 | OUT-OF-BAND FRAMEWORK LIBRARIES WITHIN APPLICATIONS - An enhanced binder provides flexibility and certainty when selecting a version of a software library to load, and an enhanced loader prevents a library version vulnerable to a security flaw from being loaded. The binder can perform unification, implicit override, and/or redirection. Implicit override searches assembly-specific locations for an implicit_version, and override the previously chosen unification or other version with the implicit_version when the implicit_version is greater. The implicit_version gets updated with the individual assembly, whereas the unification_version gets updated with the framework. Redirection may override the implicit_version. Unlike redirection, an implicit_version does not recite an explicit range and is found outside application configuration files. The implicit_version is specified implicitly by the assembly without an XML declaration. Vulnerable libraries are not loaded, based on out-of-band metadata placed in response to a list of known out-of-band assemblies, an out-of-band-servicing attribute, or a custom servicing library. | 11-13-2014 |
