20150325649 | Nanowires and Methods of Forming - An array of out-of-plane, nanowires may be formed spontaneously when a material is deposited over a freshly sputter-deposited porous film under high vacuum. The nanowires may be formed without an apparent catalyst. It is the nanoporous structure of the sputter-deposited porous film that confines the size of permeated material domains during its vapor deposition, which may cause a certain surface-to-volume ratio and subsequent melting point reduction, rendering the domains of the material molten or partially molten at room temperature. The release of surface energy provides a force for the domains to diffuse and to eventually erupt from the porous thin film and may form nanowires. Due to the universality of higher surface energy for nanoparticles, the present nanowires may be applicable for scalable growth of one-dimensional nanostructures of various other materials with moderate melting points. Furthermore, the absence of a catalyst in this method may eliminate the unwanted but inevitable diffusion of catalyst atoms into the nanostructures, thus allowing a route for the growth of nanostructure of higher purity and better controlled properties. | 11-12-2015 |

20140087952 | Efficient Polarization Independent Single Photon Detector - A superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SN-SPD) microelectronic circuit is described which has higher quantum efficiency and signal-to-noise than any SN-SPD's known in the art. The material and configuration of the microelectronic circuit eliminates the polarization dependence and shows improved signal-to-noise over SN-SPD microelectronic circuits known in the art. The higher efficiency, polarization independence, and high signal-to-noise is achieved by vertically stacking two tungsten-silicide (TS) SN-SPDs and electrically connecting them in parallel. This structure forms a multilayer superconducting nanowire avalanche photo-detector (SNAP). A single photon detection device employing the multilayer (SNAP) microelectronic circuit demonstrates a peak system detection efficiency of 87.7% and a polarization dependence of less than 2%. This represents nearly an order of magnitude improvement in both system detection efficiency and reduction of polarization dependence compared to conventional SNSPDs. | 03-27-2014 |

20150358309 | DATA PROTECTION BACKUP AGENT MANAGEMENT - A system correlates application information from within a virtual guest to an entity managing off-host data protection. During a data protection operation, the system exploits the virtual hierarchy to centralize the configuration and management of operating system credentials of numerous virtual guests.

The system stores the collected GUID as a custom property in the context of the virtual hierarchy. The system also exploits the virtual hierarchy custom properties to determine if GUIDs are copies due to virtual guest replication. The system ensures GUID's uniqueness by requesting regeneration of the GUID by in-guest data protection agents. Using GUIDs that are unique across the virtual hierarchy, from the entity managing off-host data protection, the system can correlate application data of multiple in-guest data protection agents. | 12-10-2015 |
