Abstract:
A system for collecting and communicating data associated with at least one of a plurality of machines includes a sensor. The sensor is configured to monitor an operational condition of the at least one associated machine and provide signals indicative of the operational condition. The system includes at least one local data system, including a processor, associated with the machine and configured to receive signals from the sensor, detect an event affecting the at least one machine based on the signals received from the sensor, and communicate data relevant to the detected event to a location remote from the at least one machine. A central data system including a processor and configured to receive the data relevant to the detected event and communicate with other machines of the plurality of much such that the other machines communicate data relevant to the detected event to the central data system is included.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and devices for providing improved semiconductor packages and POP IC assemblies using the improved packages with reduced warping. According to disclosed embodiments of the inventions, a packaged semiconductor device for use in a POP assembly includes an encapsulated region generally defined by the substrate surface. The encapsulant is provided with contact apertures permitting external communication with contacts on the substrate and coupled to an encapsulated chip. Preferred embodiments of the invention are described in which the contact aperture sidewalls are angled within the range of approximately 10-30 degrees or more from vertical and in which the contact aperture is provided a gas release channel to permit gas to escape during reflow.

Abstract:
A drinking straw is marked to describe a particular type of drink in order to aid users to quickly and accurately identify drink contents. For example, the drinking straw may include text indicating soda, tea, coffee, or other designation of a drink. The drinking straws described herein provide servers, bartenders, and consumers with an easy-to-use tool for projecting what type of drink is in any cup, without having to rely on the drink's look or taste.

Abstract:
A solder ball pad that includes a substrate and a bonding pad attached to the substrate. The bonding pad has a bonding pad surface and a bonding pad edge. The solder ball pad also includes a solder mask attached to the substrate in which the solder mask at least partially surrounds, but does not substantially cover, the bonding pad. The solder ball pad also has an anchor pad coupled to the bonding pad and extending between the substrate and the solder mask.

Abstract:
An access control policy engine associated with a resource determines whether to allow a request to access same. The engine receives the request with an security token, retrieves the token determines a type thereof, and maps access decision information in the token to a common format as at least one security claim setting forth adequate information to determine a right of the requestor. Thereafter, the engine retrieves a set of rules for accessing the resource, applies the rules to the security claims to determine whether to allow the request from the requestor, and if the request is to be allowed, provides the requestor access to the resource in accordance with the request and the rights of the requestor as determined based on the security claims.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved method and system of improving the efficiency, and ensuring the integrity, of a data transfer in a serverless backup, or third party copy, system having one or more physical storage devices. The present invention provides improvements to the processing of serverless copy, or EXTENDED COPY, commands, and transfers of data associated with such commands. These improvements increase the speed at which such commands are executed and completed, and increase the capabilities of copy managers in serverless backup systems. The improvements also make better use of the storage devices involved in the data backup process. The method broadly includes determining a desired manner of execution of segment descriptors, or instructions, as a function of components of those instructions. Other aspects of the invention allow for execution of data segments of any size, and validation of segment descriptors and target descriptors prior to data transfer.
