System and method for enforcing communications bandwidth based service level agreements to plurality of customers hosted on a clustered web server

A method and system for controlling and guaranteeing a service level agreement (SLA) based on a communications outbound link bandwidth usage to a plurality of customers having electronic business activity hosted by at least one server as a server farm, includes monitoring the outbound communications bandwidth usage by each customer traffic to determine a level of service being provided to each customer with respect to the agreed service level agreement in each service cycle time per unit of time. The flow of incoming requests to each customer business activity application is controlled so as to guarantee a level of service previously agreed to the customer by queuing requests to the customer and by selectively dropping requests to the customer to guarantee the agreed service levels to the customer. The controlling process controls and guarantees each outbound link usage based service level agreement by controlling the flow of incoming requests to the at least one server.

Dynamic real-time quality management of packetized communications in a network environment

The present invention provides a dynamic real-time quality management of packetized communications in a network environment. Packetized communications are monitored by and exchanged between wireless Access Points (APs) and wireless terminals or by quality monitoring modules located within network segments or at network vertices. The processing unit analyzes the packetized communications to identify communication signatures associated with the packetized communications. The processor then uses these signatures to identify network impediments to the exchange of the packetized communications. These impediments may take the form of coding problems in which case an appropriate coding scheme is employed by the programmable COder / DECoder (CODEC) to convert incoming packetized communications to incoming user communications, and outgoing user communications to outgoing packetized communications. These impediments may also take the form of communication problems along and between the various network segments. In these cases, the processor may choose a more appropriate communication pathway with which to route the packetized communications.

Intracavity frequency-doubled diode-pumped laser

A diode-pumped laser is disclosed with internal frequency doubling to prevent interfering power fluctuations in the laser radiation generated by the non-linear crystal at the start of the power adjustment in a simple and, therefore, inexpensive construction without power-reducing elements in the cavity or thermal effects having a negative impact on the laser behavior. The laser contains, as laser-active medium, a solid-state laser crystal with a temperature gradient directed substantially parallel to the cavity axis. The conversion of laser radiation of a fundamental laser wavelength into laser radiation of another wavelength is carried out by a non-linear optical crystal with a lower non-linear conversion efficiency than that required for achieving maximum power of the converted laser radiation. The laser can be used particularly for medical purposes, e.g., in the field of ophthalmology for coagulation of the retina as well as in the field of dermatology.

Plasma monitoring and minimizing stray capacitance

InactiveUS20130071581A1Reduce and prevent stray capacitanceMinimizing stray capacitanceElectric discharge tubesElectric arc lampsCapacitanceHarmonic
The present invention generally relates to a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) processing chamber, a manner to reduce or prevent stray capacitance, and a manner to measure plasma conditions within the processing chamber. As CCP processing chambers increase in size, there is a tendency for stray capacitance to negatively impact the process. Additionally, RF ground straps may break. By increasing the spacing between the chamber backing plate and the chamber wall, stray capacitance may be minimized. Additionally, the plasma may be monitored by measuring the conditions of the plasma at the backing plate rather than at the match network. In so measuring, the plasma harmonic data may be analyzed to reveal plasma processing conditions within the chamber.
