Jul 21, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/490676

Inventors:

Kaijun Zhan - Pleasanton CA, US
James Harper - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 1, 713165, 713166, 713167, 713193

Abstract:

A method of storing secret data in a shared computing environment includes defining secret data, such as a password and administration policies according to a schema of a directory server such as a LDAP server. The secret data and administration polices are centrally stored on the LDAP server. The secret data can be encrypted. Administration polices include authorization and authentication policies, and a security zone can be defined for a collection of entities with a common security characteristic, such as a common password. A security zone defines a group of users and the secret data that can be accessed by the group of users. Multiple security zones can be defined. The secret data can be accessed directly from the server of the directory service without accessing another server or data store assuming the administration policies are satisfied.

7/487595

Inventors:

James L. Harper - Livermore CA
Charles H. Hill - Livermore CA

International Classification:

B23K 1500

US Classification:

21912115

Abstract:

A device and method for cooling the edge of a top plate which partially surrounds an evaporant pocket in an electron beam gun. The invention involves the passage of coolant through a channel in the top plate. The channel is substantially parallel to and close enough to the edge of the top plate so that re-evaporation of evaporant condensed on the edge of the top plate is substantially prevented.

International Classification:

B23K 1500

US Classification:

21912133

Abstract:

A circulating coolant reservoir is used to uniformly cool a removable crucible in an electron beam gun assembly for vaporizing material to be deposited at another location. The outer surface of the crucible is substantially immersed in the coolant reservoir and coolant is circulated around the outer surface from diametrically opposed inlet and outlet lines whose axes are tangent to the reservoir walls and with an upwardly spiraling groove in the crucible outer surface.

International Classification:

H01R 13/641
H01R 12/87

Abstract:

Connector receptacles that can provide audible feedback to inform a user that a card has been properly inserted, and can include structures to protect contacts in a connector receptacle from damage due to an improper card insertion. An example can provide a connector receptacle having a click module to provide audible feedback indicating that a card has been fully inserted. Another example can provide a connector receptacle having movable contacts that can remain out of an insertion path until the card is at least partially inserted.

Abstract:

Connector receptacles and device enclosures that can provide proper grounding, improved ventilation, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. An example can include a device enclosure including an enclosure wall and sleeves for a number of connector receptacles. Each sleeve can electrically contact a shield of a corresponding connector receptacle via a conductive structure, such as a conductive gasket, to provide a good ground path. The sleeves can be narrow at the enclosure wall for improved ventilation and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Abstract:

Audio jacks and device enclosures that provide proper grounding, are readily reworkable, provide improved ventilation, and have an aesthetically pleasing appearance. An example can include a device enclosure including an enclosure wall and a sleeve for an audio jack. The sleeve can connect to ground through various paths. The audio jack housing can be inserted in the sleeve and kept in place using a fastener. This arrangement can allow the audio jack to be readily reworkable. The sleeve can be narrow at the enclosure wall for improved ventilation and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

James Harper - Greenville SC, US

International Classification:

F02C 3/30

Abstract:

A system for operating a combustor in a non-Premix mode of operation includes a combustor comprising a plurality of primary fuel nozzles annularly arranged around a center fuel nozzle, a fuel supply system that is fluidly coupled to the plurality of primary fuel nozzles and the center fuel nozzle, a steam injection system that is fluidly coupled to the fuel supply system and to at least one of the plurality of primary fuel nozzles or the center fuel nozzle and a controller. The controller is electronically coupled to the fuel supply system and the steam injection system. The controller is programmed to initiate the steam injection system to inject a flow of superheated steam into a flow of fuel from the fuel supply system upstream from at least one of the plurality of primary fuel nozzles or the center fuel nozzle during a non-Premix mode of operation of the combustor.
