System and method for orchestrating composite web services in constrained data flow environments

A technique for orchestrating composite web services in a constrained data flow environment. Data flow constraints represent the restrictions which the domains involved in composition might want to impose on access to the data they provide or the source from which they can accept data. The data flow constraints are overcome by breaking down an input composite web service specification into topologies (a topology is a set of partitions communicatively connected with one another at runtime). The system applies a rule-based filtering mechanism to choose a topology that does not violate any data flow constraints. Each of the partitions belonging to the chosen topology is executed within the same domain as the corresponding web service it invokes, thus having the same access rights as the corresponding web service. The composite web service is orchestrated in a decentralized fashion using these partitions, thereby ensuring that no data flow constraints are violated.

Single management point for a storage system or storage area network

There is disclosed a system, method, apparatus and computer program product for managing a storage system including a SAN within a computer network. The storage system can be managed in object-oriented computer language. Object trees of each component in the storage system or SAN are obtained and combined on each storage processor in the storage system. The user interface (UI) can therefore select one storage processor within the storage system, and request such combined object tree information for the entire storage system or SAN from only that singular storage processor on which such combined information is stored. This eliminates a severe computational drain on the UI, which otherwise would be required to make these object tree combinations, and further allows a single point of storage management contact between UI and storage system or SAN by way of that singular storage or portal processor. Commands from the UI destined for any node within the storage system or SAN are thus always addressed to that same single point of contact or portal processor allowing for ease of use and other advantages.

Folding bicycle assembly

The folding bicycle can easily change between a riding position and a folded position for storage and transportation. The folding bicycle comprises a rear wheel assembly, a central frame assembly, a steering assembly, a seat assembly, a plurality of hinge couplings, and a plurality of quick-release clamps. The hinge couplings allow the bike to fold in thirds. The quick-release clamps allow various parts to easily move when desired, such as sliding the seat assembly down or detaching the rear wheel assembly from the central frame assembly. In a riding position the folding bicycle functions as a normal bicycle. The folding bicycle can be converted to the folded position by using the hinge couplings and quick-release clamps to fold the rear wheel assembly and the steering assembly adjacent to the central frame assembly, fold part of the steering assembly down, and sliding the seat assembly down into the central frame assembly.

Semiconductor Device Models Including Re-Usable Sub-Structures

Methods and tools for generating measurement models of complex device structures based on re-useable, parametric models are presented. Metrology systems employing these models are configured to measure structural and material characteristics associated with different semiconductor fabrication processes. The re-useable, parametric sub-structure model is fully defined by a set of independent parameters entered by a user of the model building tool. All other variables associated with the model shape and internal constraints among constituent geometric elements are pre-defined within the model. In some embodiments, one or more re-useable, parametric models are integrated into a measurement model of a complex semiconductor device. In another aspect, a model building tool generates a re-useable, parametric sub-structure model based on input from a user. The resulting models can be exported to a file that can be used by others and may include security features to control the sharing of sensitive intellectual property with particular users.

Methods for authenticating device-to-device communication

Devices and methods are described to enable devices to be paired in a convenient and secure way based on proximity with the use of a single radio transmission protocol. Using devices configurable to perform the processes described, users are able to pair Bluetooth enabled devices or other radio communication protocols simply by putting the devices briefly in contact, or within close proximity, usually few centimeters. When the two devices touch or are in close proximity, the encryption key is shared across the two devices without further interaction required by the user. The encryption key is not made visible, so one potential source of security breach is eliminated. After first setup, proximity is not required and the device can communicate securely based on the previously exchanged security tokens (and encryption keys) without the requirement of proximity. This method is hence superior to all other authentication methods in use as it combines the benefit of an easy setup / configuration with the use of secure communications and cheaper design and manufacturing.

Measurement Models Of Nanowire Semiconductor Structures Based On Re-Useable Sub-Structures

Methods and systems for generating measurement models of nanowire based semiconductor structures based on re-useable, parametric models are presented herein. Metrology systems employing these models are configured to measure structural and material characteristics (e.g., material composition, dimensional characteristics of structures and films, etc.) associated with nanowire semiconductor fabrication processes. The re-useable, parametric models of nanowire based semiconductor structures enable measurement model generation that is substantially simpler, less error prone, and more accurate. As a result, time to useful measurement results is significantly reduced, particularly when modelling complex, nanowire based structures. The re-useable, parametric models of nanowire based semiconductor structures are useful for generating measurement models for both optical metrology and x-ray metrology, including soft x-ray metrology and hard x-ray metrology.
