Appl. No.:

08/941170

Inventors:

Eric McFarland - San Jose CA
Earl Danielson - Palo Alto CA
Martin Devenney - Mountain View CA
Christopher J. Warren - Mountain View CA

Assignee:

Symyx Technologies, Inc. - Santa Clara MI

International Classification:

G01N 33543

US Classification:

436518, 205 81, 205118, 205123, 205136, 422 681, 422 8201, 435DIG 1, 435DIG 44, 435DIG 43, 435DIG 45

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are provided for the preparation of a substrate having an array of diverse materials, the materials being deposited at spatially addressable, predefined regions. In particular, potential masking systems are provided which generate spatially and temporally varying electric, magnetic and chemical potentials across a substrate. These varying potentials are used to deposit components of source materials onto a substrate in a combinatorial fashion, thus creating arrays of materials that differ slightly in chemical composition, concentration, stoichiometry, and/or thickness. The diverse materials may be organized in discrete arrays, or they may vary continuously over the surface of the substrate. The shape of the potential allows the determination of the composition of the resulting materials at all locations on the substrate.

Appl. No.:

09/684768

Inventors:

Jeffrey Wayne McDonald - Fremont CA, US

Assignee:

Sprint Communications Company L.P. - Overland Park KS

International Classification:

G06F009/00

US Classification:

719319

Abstract:

In a communication system with a first computer and a second computer, the first computer with a first process communicates with a destination on the second computer. The first computer receives destination information indicative of the destination from the first process. The first computer then determines a transport protocol for a message object based on the destination information. The first computer then generates the message object based on the destination information. The first computer receives message information indicative of a message to be transmitted from the first process to the destination. Finally, the first computer transmits the message information from the first process to the destination using the message object and the determined transport protocol. One advantage of determining the transport protocol at run-time is the transport protocol may be determined by an environment variable. This allows the system administrator to alter the transport without recompiling or modifying code.
