20130089676 | HEAT GENERATION SYSTEM FOR GENERATOR FIELD INSULATION BAKE ACCELERATION - A heat generation system and a method of curing an adhesive for an electrical generator rotor during a rotor rewind operation are provided. The heat generation system includes a heating source in contact with a pole of the electrical generator rotor to heat the pole, thereby reducing heat loss from the adhesive to the pole. The heat generation system also includes at least one holding arrangement holding the heating source in contact with the at least one pole. The method includes applying an adhesive onto an electrical generator rotor and utilizing a heat generation system to provide heat to the electrical generator rotor. The method further includes placing a heating source in contact with the pole, holding the heating source in contact with the pole using a holding arrangement, heating the pole by activating the heating source, and heat curing the adhesive. | 04-11-2013 |

20150096688 | HAND-CARRIED TAPING MACHINE WITH NON-POWERED GUIDE SYSTEM - A hand-carried taping machine for taping an elongated object is disclosed. The machine includes a powered gear set operably coupled to a body and powered by a drive system. An applicator head includes a substantially C-shaped gear in meshing engagement with the powered gear set such that the substantially C-shaped gear rotates about an application axis under control of the drive system, and a tape reel mount for rotatably mounting a reel of tape on the substantially C-shaped gear for rotation about the application axis and application of the tape to the elongated object. A non-powered guide system operably couples to the body for guiding the applicator head along the elongated object with transient engagement with the elongated object such that the elongated object is maintained in a vicinity of the reel of tape. | 04-09-2015 |

20110161894 | FRAGMENTATION POINT AND SIMULATION SITE ADJUSTMENT FOR RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUES - A method of performing a resolution enhancement technique such as OPC on an initial layout description involves fragmenting a polygon that represents a feature to be created into a number of edge fragments. One or more of the edge fragments is assigned an initial simulation site at which the image intensity is calculated. Upon calculation of the image intensity, the position and/or number of initial simulation sites is varied. New calculations are made of the image intensity with the revised placement or number of simulation sites in order to calculate an OPC correction for the edge fragment. In other embodiments, fragmentation of a polygon is adjusted based on the image intensities calculated at the simulation sites. In one embodiment, the image intensity gradient vector calculated at the initial simulation sites is used to adjust the simulation sites and/or fragmentation of the polygon. | 06-30-2011 |
20130191792 | Sub-Resolution Assist Feature Repair - After layout design data has been modified using a resolution enhancement process, a repair flow is initiated. This repair flow includes checking a layout design altered by a resolution enhancement process for errors. A repair process is performed to correct detected sub-resolution assist feature errors. The repair process may employ a rule-based sub-resolution assist feature technique, a model-based sub-resolution assist feature technique, an inverse lithography-based sub-resolution assist feature technique, or any combination thereof. | 07-25-2013 |

20080301611 | Selective Optical Proximity Layout Design Data Correction - After layout design data has been modified using an OPC process, a repair flow is initiated. This repair flow includes analyzing the modified data to identify any remaining or new potential print errors in the layout data. Regions then are formed around the identified potential print errors, and a subsequent OPC process is performed only on the data within these regions using a different set of process parameters from the process parameters employed by the initial OPC process. This repair flow is iteratively repeated, where a different set of process parameter values for the subsequent OPC process is used during each iteration. | 12-04-2008 |

20150052109 | NETWORK-BACKED FILE SYSTEM - Methods and systems for implementing a network-backed file system are disclosed. Data indicative of a plurality of subscriptions by a plurality of clients to respective subsections of a file system is stored. The subscriptions comprise one or more read subscriptions and one or more write subscriptions. The read subscriptions are fulfilled by sending modified file chunks of subsections to subscribing clients. The write subscriptions are fulfilled by modifying file chunks of subsections based on write requests submitted by subscribing clients. | 02-19-2015 |
