Abstract: The storage system includes disk control
clusters (1-1 to 1-n). Each cluster has channel IF
units (11), disk IF units (16) and local shared memory
units. The channel IF units, disk IF units and local
shared memory units in the plurality of disk control
clusters are connected to each other across the disk
control clusters by interconnection (31), global
information control unit (21) for storing management
information about the disk control clusters is
connected to the interconnection. Host computers (2)
and the channel IF units of the disk control clusters
are connected via front-end switch (7) for storing copy
of the management information. Since the front-end
switch reflects the contents of the copy of the
management information on routing table, an access
request from the host computer can be sent to a
suitable disk control cluster.

Title: A method of forming a silicon nitride layer on a substrate
Inventor: CHEN STEVEN A
IPC: H01L21/318
Filed: 2002-12-05
Abstract: A silicon nutride layer is formed over transistor gates while the processing temperature is relatively high, typically at least 500 DEG C, and the pressure is relatively high, typically at least 50 Torr, to obtain a relatively high rate of formation of the silicon nitride layer. Processing conditions are controlled so as to more uniformly form the silicon nitride layer. Generally, the radio of the NH>3< gas to the silicon-containing gas by volume is selected sufficiently high so that, should the surface have a low region between transistor gates which is less than 0.15 microns wide and have a height-to-width ratio of at least 1.0, as well as an entirely flat area of at least 5 microns by 5 microns, the layer forms at a rate of not more than 25% faster on the flat area than on a base of the low region.

Abstract: An evaluation method in which a capacitive sensor (5) is
placed in a region of a container (3), into which a
granular material (2) is fed so as to contact the sensor

caused by feeding in the material (2) is evaluated. The
method is particularly useful for evaluating the
compactness of sand in a formwork for making metal
castings. The evaluation system includes a sensor (5)

the dielectric; and a conditioning and control circuit
(6) for indicating the variation in the capacitance of
the plates (9, 10), or more generally the total impedance
of the system (1), when the granular material (2) is fed
into the container (3). In one embodiment, the plates (9,
10) of the sensor (5) are defined by two combs made of
conducting material, having two numbers of interlacing
segments (12, 13), and located on a rigid or flexible
support (16).
