20090017222 | Plasma enhanced bonding for improving adhesion and corrosion resistance of deposited films - Plasma Enhanced Bonding (PEB) during a coating process is used to improve both adhesion and corrosion resistance of the resulting coating. New interfacial compounds may be formed, offering the increased resistance to corrosion, as well as enhanced bonding to the workpiece being coated and any subsequently formed layer, such as diamond-like carbon. In one embodiment, the PEB processing is employed during coating of at least one interior surface of the workpiece, which may be a pipe. In a first step, a thin film is deposited. Then, the film is exposed to a high energy etch-back plasma. This two-step cycle of depositing a film and then providing bombardment of the film may be repeated a number of times. Typically, the deposition step of the cycle is much shorter than the bombardment step. | 01-15-2009 |
20090017230 | Corrosion-resistant internal coating method using a germanium-containing precursor and hollow cathode techniques - Enhanced corrosion resistance is achieved in a coating by using a germanium-containing precursor and hollow cathode techniques to form a first layer directly on the surface of a workpiece, prior to forming an outer layer, such as a layer of diamond-like carbon (DLC). The use of a germanium or germanium-carbide precursor reduces film stress and enables an increase in the thickness of the subsequently formed DLC. Germanium incorporation also reduces the porosity of the layer. In one embodiment, a cap layer containing germanium is added after the DLC in order to further reduce the susceptibility of the coating to chemical penetration from the top. | 01-15-2009 |

20150121041 | PROCESSOR AND METHODS FOR IMMEDIATE HANDLING AND FLAG HANDLING - Described herein are methods and processors for flag renaming in groups to eliminate dependencies of instructions. Decoder and execution units in the processor may be configured to rename flags into groups that allow each group to be treated separately as appropriate. This flag renaming eliminates flag dependencies with respect to instructions. This allows an instruction to write exactly the flags that the instruction wants without having to create merge dependencies. Methods and processors are provided for handling immediate values embedded in instructions. A 16 bit immediate bus and a 4 bit encoding/control bus are added at the interface between decode and execution units. For an 8 or 12 bit immediate, the upper 4 bits of the immediate bus contain the encoding bits. For a 16 bit immediate, the encoding/control bus contains the encoding bits. The encoding/control bus indicates when to look at the top four bits of the immediate bus. | 04-30-2015 |
