Rebuild HALDB ILDS with free space. ILEs are queued to data spaces and internally sorted using a modified heap sort and then loaded sequentially to the ILDS in VSAM load mode. The ILDS is first deleted and redefined using VSAM IDCAMS. The VSAM definition will have some free space. This method of ILDS creation is much...

Disclosed is a method for long-duration wireless thermal profiling for semiconductor oven applications. Benefits include improved functionality, improved performance, improved reliability, improved ease of use, and improved cost effectiveness.

This paper discusses the distribution of spare cells in an integrated circuit. In our approach, the density of a region governs the number of spare modules to be placed in that region. High density regions receive more spare cells as compared to low density regions. The spare cells pertaining to a spare module are...

Most email client software programs such as IBM Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook, and so on allow download or replication of email messages from the email server so that they can be processed locally. Using these email clients in contrast to browser-based email has the advantage that one can process these email messages...

Chat conversations are widely adopted for various types of communications - business, informal, personal, etc. A two-party instant message dialogue typically has both parties sending/typing information simultaneously unlike face-to-face conversation where only one speaks at any time. With multi-party conversation the...

A solution for Case Management in connection with Human Workflow Management is proposed. The solution specifies what is required to define a case, it defines a method to transform a case specification into a traditional human workflow, and it provides a system that allows processing the case within a Workflow...

Currently, bubble mirror is widely exploited to avoid collisions around cross areas. However, anything seen from it will be distorted and there is special requirement to deploy ceiling-mounted ones. Our invention works out a low price, easy-to-deploy mirror that can be used to extend the visible angles without...

A simple, low cost technique is described for biasing an interferometer in quadrature, which is particularly applicable to navigation applications involving semiconductor laser sources and low cost optics, as in a computer mouse.
