Abstract: An improved method is disclosed for purging a vacuum chamber suitable for use in the production of integrated circuit structures on semiconductor wafers. The method comprises providing the chamber (4) to be purged and flowing a heated, non-reactive gas, such as argon gas, through the chamber (4). The non-reactive gas is heated to a temperature of at least 90°C. Further, the chamber (4) is heated to maintain it at a temperature of at least 90°C while flowing the gas therethrough. Flowing the heated non-reactive gas through the chamber (4) causes released impurities or contaminants to be efficiently swept from the chamber (4) in the non-reactive gas flow. After flowing the heated gas through the heated chamber (4), the flow of gas is interrupted and the chamber (4), while still hot, is pumped down to a vacuum of about 667 x 10 -7  Pa (5 x 10 -7  Torr) to determine whether or not the chamber (4) has a leakage problem. The presence of a leakage problem may be determined by comparing the pumping to past pumping of similar sized chambers, or by measuring the partial pressure of common gases such as nitrogen and/or oxygen. If the partial pressure of oxygen is higher than about 667 x 10 -8  Pa (5 x 10 -8  Torr) and the partial pressure of nitrogen is higher than 267 x 10 -7  Pa (2 x 10 -7  Torr), the vacuum chamber (4) can be considered to have a leakage problem. Pumping times may, therefore, be shortened by the use of such screening for leakage problems while the vacuum chamber (4) is still hot.

Abstract: A device (12), such as an A/D converter for generating successive codes, each in accordance with the level of an input analog voltage, may be tested to determine if all codes have been generated by applying a voltage V   t    having an amplitude that varies between 0 and V volts. The variation in the voltage V   t    is such that when the device (12) is operating properly, it will generate all of its codes during a predetermined interval. Each code generated by the device (12) is compared by a comparator (18) to the count of an  n -bit counter (20) whose count is initialized at zero. Each time the count of the counter (20) matches the code produced by the device (12), the counter is incremented. If the counter overfiows (i.e., its count has exceeded 2   n   -1) within a prescribed interval, then the device (12) is said to be operating properly.

Abstract: A LAN cable identifier for testing and identifying copper-conductor LAN cables in conjunction with a LAN cable test instrument is provided. Series combinations of resistors and diodes allow for both resistance measurements and polarity determinations for selected pairs of conductors of the LAN cable. Resistance values are chosen to allow for identification of each combination in order to diagnose wiring errors and to identify the particular LAN cable identifier. In addition, capacitance measurements are accommodated with minimal contribution to measurement error by careful orientation of the resistors and diodes so that the diodes may be reverse biased by a d.c. bias voltage provided by the LAN cable test instrument. The reverse biased diode junctions contribute only a small amount of shunt capacitance to the measurement.

Abstract: A cooperative network/premises-based automatic call distributor system and method is provided which minimizes networking costs associated with distributing calls to telemarketing agents in multiple locations, minimizes delays in providing desired services to callers, and improves the efficiency of telemarketing agents. A call directed to a telemarketing complex arrives at the network. The caller automatic number identification (ANI) and an identifying tag are forwarded via a data connection to a telemarketing agent management system which identifies an available and desired agent to service the call, and launches a call to the network location associated with the original caller, thus completing the connection. The telemarketing agent management system selects an appropriate agent based on data received from the telemarketing complex and from the network. Interactive queuing may also be performed by the network to provide additional information to assist call distribution and telemarketing agent response. In a further embodiment, the telemarketing agent management system may retrieve caller profile information while the revertive call is launched to the network location associated with the caller. In addition, telemarketing agents may be strategically assigned  a priori  to network switch locations resulting in superior call setup characteristics for certain calls.

Abstract: In order to get empirical data on memory behaviour to guide system optimisation, a system and method for profiling computer systems is presented. 
     By augmenting a cache miss counter with a compare register and an interrupt line, the processor is interrupted when the counter matches the compare value, and the state of the processor is sampled. This can happen at a predetermined number of cache misses or cache stall cycles. Using these sampled data, a cache miss profile can be developed that associates cache misses with specific processes, procedures, procedure call stacks, or even user defined aspects of the system. 
     Also, the system is able to provide assistance in isolating performance bottlenecks and guiding optimisation of architectures, operating systems, compilers and applications.

Abstract: A method of binding a pack of signatures, at least some of said signatures including a plurality of interleaved sheets and each of said signatures having a closed side, comprises the following steps. The pack of signatures is clamped with the closed sides of the signatures lowermost and coplanar with one another along a spine of the pack. The closed lowermost sides of the signatures are sawed to expose the interleaved sheets of the signatures. The sawed lowermost sides of the signatures are slashed with a multiplicity of cuts lateral to the lengths of the sawed lowermost sides. A preparatory adhesive is applied to the sawed lowermost sides of the signatures to create an initial bond of the interleaved sheets of the signatures. The preparatory adhesive is cured until it is substantially free of surface moisture. After applying and curing the preparatory adhesive, a notcher forms a multiplicity of closely spaced, wide open notches in the lowermost sides of the signatures. After forming the notches in the lowermost sides of the signatures, a spine coat adhesive and a side coat adhesive are applied to the notched lowermost sides of the signatures. Finally, the spine coat adhesive and the side coat adhesive are cured until they are substantially set. The application of adhesive before, as well as after, the step of forming the multiplicity of notches in the lowermost sides of the signatures significantly enhances the binding strength of the pack.
