Abstract:

The presently claimed invention provides methods, compositions, and apparatus for studying nucleic acids. Specifically, the present invention provides a novel enrichment and labeling strategy for ribonucleic acids. In one embodiment, the invention provides enriching for a population of interest in a complex population by diminishing the presence of a target sequence. In a further embodiment, the invention can be used to reproducibly label and detect extremely small amounts of nucleic acids.

Assignee:

Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711114

Abstract:

A system and method is disclosed for managing access command transmitted to a storage controller during the period that a device coupled to the storage controller is undergoing a firmware update. The storage controller manages access commands directed to the storage controller so that the access command may be managed in a manner that does not disrupt the firmware update processor or the completion of the access command itself. The storage controller enters a guard mode in which the firmware of the storage controller intercepts commands directed to the device undergoing a firmware update. Depending on the characteristics of the access command, the data of the command may be generated from other drives in a redundant drive array or the command may be saved to a cache or journal for later processing.

US Classification:

438649, 438683, 427255392, 257E21165

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention provide an improved process for depositing tungsten-containing materials. The process utilizes soak processes and vapor deposition processes to provide tungsten films having significantly improved surface uniformity while increasing the production level throughput. In one embodiment, a method is provided which includes depositing a tungsten silicide layer on the substrate by exposing the substrate to a continuous flow of a silicon precursor while also exposing the substrate to intermittent pulses of a tungsten precursor. The method further provides that the substrate is exposed to the silicon and tungsten precursors which have a silicon/tungsten precursor flow rate ratio of greater than 1, for example, about 2, about 3, or greater. Subsequently, the method provides depositing a tungsten nitride layer on the tungsten suicide layer, depositing a tungsten nucleation layer on the tungsten nitride layer, and depositing a tungsten bulk layer on the tungsten nucleation layer.
