Higher overall etch rate and throughput for atomic layer removal (ALR) is achieved. The reaction is a self-limiting process, thus limiting the total amount of material that may be etched per cycle. By pumping down the process station between reacting operations, the reaction is partially “reset.” A higher overall etch rate is achieved by a multiple exposure with pump down ALR process.

Two data centers located in the vicinity are connected using a synchronous transfer copy function, and one of the data centers is coupled with a third data center disposed at a remote location by an asynchronous remote copying function. The order whereat a storage sub-system located in the vicinity has received data from a host is consistently guaranteed, and the third data center holds the data. Further, each storage sub-system includes a function whereby, during normal operation, data can be exchanged and the data update state can be obtained by the storage sub-systems located in the two data centers that do not directly engage in data transmission.

Some embodiments provide a proprietary 64-bit consistent distribution scheme that preserves the efficiencies of CARP while providing a significantly more balanced distribution of requests that is on par with schemes reliant on computationally expensive cryptographic hashes. The scheme performs hashing of requested URLs and identifiers of available servers over a 64-bit space while optimizing the hashing to remove computationally expensive operations. Some embodiments provide a variant of the scheme to provide a differentiated distribution on the basis of one or more differentiating factors. A first variant utilizes load factor values to adjust the resulting hashes and to produce a first distribution of differentiated content that varies from a second distribution of undifferentiated content. A second variant identifies requests for differentiated content from requests for undifferentiated content and utilizes a first scheme to distribute the differentiated content and a second altered scheme to distribute the undifferentiated content.

System and method for the processing of MICR documents that produce read errors. MICR documents are read and sorted to a destination pocket for processing subject to a determination that existing digit errors do not prevent the routing of the document. In example embodiments, an error does not prevent the routing of the document if it is not related to the routing/transit field. An optical character recognition (OCR) process is performed on the stored, electronic image of the document to correct digit errors in the stored data read from the documents. If a determination is mode that the correction cannot be determined through the OCR process, the image and corresponding MICR data is displayed on a user terminal, for manual correction by reference to an image of the document, rather than the document itself.

The invention relates to improved methods and systems for computationally efficient optimization of radiation dose delivery. The optimization involves determining an improved form of objective function to be used for mapping radiotherapy beams to a patient body volume having at least one target volume and at least one non-target volume. The objective function has a first term related to the at least one target volume and a second term related to the at least one non-target volume. The optimization further involves determining a minimum of the objective function, whereby beams mapped so as to pass through the at least one non-target volume are limited such that the second term is zero only if the weights of beamlets passing through the at least one non-target volume are zero. This limit helps to avoid the occurrence of negative beam weights, thereby facilitating computationally efficient determination of the minimum of the objective function using matrix inversion. Following the optimization, radiotherapy is delivered based on the determined minimum of the objective function.
