A present IT environment, in particular, a place such as a data center in which resources are concentrated at one place, requires a mechanism (provisioning) for allocating an excess resource (a server, a network apparatus, a storage, or the like) to the service in response to a load fluctuation of a service. In some cases, setting operations occurring in the process of the provisioning are time-demanding. In those cases, it is impossible to respond to abrupt load fluctuations. [Solving means] Procedures starting from an initial state of the resource and ending in a state where each of resources is deployed for each service are identified, and the procedures are expressed as a directed graph having a state of the resource in each phase as a node (stage), and having a setting operation as an edge. There are some cases, however, where even for deployments intended for different services, an initial state and some of intermediate states are common. In those cases, those common intermediate states are expressed as a single node. When resources are allocated to nodes near to a state where a service is developed, it is made possible to reduce a time required for provisioning to the service.

In a counter mode encryption scheme, a sending device sends a first message including first cipher text and a first counter used to generate the first cipher text to a receiving device for decryption. The sending device subsequently generates a second counter for generating second cipher text. The sending device sends a second message including the second cipher text and intermediate state data corresponding to a change between the first counter second counter to the receiving device for decryption. The intermediate state data are represented by a smaller number of bits than the first counter. The method enables improved counter mode encrypted communication in networks that lose one or more intermediate messages between the first message and the second message.

The present invention discloses use of quantum dot gate FETs as a nonvolatile memory element that can be used in flash memory architecture as well as in a nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) configuration that does not require refreshing of data as in dynamic random access memories. Another innovation is the design of quantum dot gate nonvolatile memory and 3-state devices using modulation doped field-effect transistors (MODFETs), particularly MOS-gate field effect transistors. The cladded quantum dot gate MODFETs can be designed in Si—SiGe, InGaAs—InP and other material systems. The incorporation of 3-state FET devices in static random access memory (SRAM) cell is described to result in advanced multi-state memory operation. Unlike conventional SRAMs, the 3-state QD-FET based of SRAMs provides 3 and 4-state memory operation due to the utilization of the intermediate states particularly in CMOS configuration. QD-gate FETs, potentially suitable for 8 nm channel lengths, in vertical configuration (VFET) are also described.

Systems and methods including storage systems that employ local file caching processes and that generate state variables to record, for subsequent use, intermediate states of a file hash process. In certain specific examples, there are systems that interrupt a hash process as it processes the data blocks of a file, and stores the current product of the interrupted hash process as a state variable that represents the hash value generated from the data blocks processed prior to the interruption. After interruption, the hash process continues processing the file data blocks. The stored state variables may be organized into a table that associates the state variables with the range of data blocks that were processed to generate the respective state variable. Such exemplary systems can be used with any type of storage system, including filers, database systems or other storage applications.

A high-speed random number generator (1) comprising a physical random number generator, having a data input, an output and a pseudo-random generator coupled to the output of the physical random generator. The pseudo-random generator has an input adapted to receive a germ delivered by the physical generator and deliver at an output a pseudo-random output signal. The physical generator comprises a logic circuit that includes at least a data input (D) and a clock input (CLK), the data input (D) receiving a first "high frequency" clock signal H1 and the clock input (CLK) receiving a second "low frequency" clock signal H2, with the "high frequency" signal H1 being sampled by the "low frequency" signal H2. The two clock signals H1 and H2 are of different frequencies respectively and issue from two different first (OSC1 and OSC2) operating asynchronously from one another and not adhering to the setup time of the logic circuit (10). The logic circuit is arranged to deliver at an output a signal in an intermediate state qualified as metastable between "0" and "1" and being constituted by a random number sequence. The metastability of the signal obtained as an output from the logic circuit (10) is accentuated by phase noise of the first oscillator (OSC1) generating the "high frequency" signal H1. The pseudo-random generator is arranged to re-inject part of the pseudo-random output signal into the physical generator. An internal memory stores the random numbers obtained as output signals from the pseudo-random generator. The two generators run on the same second "high frequency" clock H generated by the external oscillator (7).

Methods of erasing a sector of multi-level flash memory cells (MLB) having three or more data states to a single data state are provided. The present invention employs an interactive sector erase algorithm that repeatedly erases, verifies, soft programs, and programs the sector in two or more erase phases to achieve highly compact data state distributions. In one example, the algorithm essentially erases all the MLB cells of the sector to an intermediate state and corresponding threshold voltage value using interactive erasing, soft programming and programming pulses in a first phase. Then in a second phase, the algorithm further erases all the MLB cells of the sector using additional interactive erasing and soft programming pulses until a final data state is achieved corresponding to a desired final threshold voltage value of the cells. Optionally, the algorithm may include one or more additional phases of similar operations that successively bring the memory cells of the sector to a compacted common erased state in preparation for subsequent programming operations. In one aspect of the method, the actual threshold values and / or data states chosen for these phases may be predetermined and input to the memory device by the user.

A technique for selectively attenuating a radiation exposure in which a configurable collimator is employed between the radiation source and the radiation target. The configurable collimator typically comprises an array of independently addressable elements each of which has at least a high and a low attenuation state, though intermediate states may also be accommodated. The elements of the array may be selectively addressed to determine their state and to determine the attenuation profile of the collimator. One embodiment of the technique employs an array of microactuated attenuating louvers which may be selectively actuated to determine their radiation transmittance. A second embodiment of the technique employs a suspension of attenuating nematic colloids which may be ordered by the application of an electric or magnetic field. The ordered state of the nematic colloids within an element determine the radiation transmittance of that element. A third embodiment of the technique employs microfluidics to fill an array of fluid chambers with an attenuating fluid. The level of filling within each chamber determines the attenuation produced by that array element.

In one embodiment of an OLED device, a hole injection / transport layer is added to the device structure in order to increase the number of holes injected into the emissive layer and reduce the number of electrons injected into the added hole injection / transport layer. In a first configuration of the added hole injection / transport layer, the added hole injection / transport layer is comprised of a non-doped hole transporting material that has an IP range between the highest IP value of the adjacent layer on the anode-end and the lowest IP value of the adjacent layer on the “emissive layer”-end. Optionally, in addition, nearly all electron affinities of the added hole injection / transport layer are less than the lowest electron affinity of the adjacent layer on the “emissive layer”-end. In a second configuration of the added hole injection / transport layer, this layer is formed by doping the hole transport material. The dopant is able to abstract electrons from the hole transporting material. By doping the hole transport material, the IP range of the hole transporting material is broadened. In addition or alternatively, the doping produces more HOMO energy states thus allowing more holes to occupy these intermediate states at any one time.

Electronic Paper Displays can suffer from “ghosting” or previous images remaining partially visible after the display has updated to show a new image. A pseudo-random noise intermediate image is used to make the ghosting less visible to human observers. Further, other intermediate images can be used to convey visible information or to convey secret information, e.g. a watermark. A control signal for driving the bi-stable display from the current optical state to an intermediate state, then to a final optical state is also determined. In some embodiments, the intermediate state for each pixel is determined in a pseudo-random manner. The pseudo-random noise values are applied to the bi-stable display to remove noise and other artifacts from the end resulting images. The determined control signal is applied to the bi-stable display to drive the bi-stable to the intermediate state, then to the final optical state.
