From shott at snf.stanford.edu Sun Sep 10 10:20:17 2000 From: shott at snf.stanford.edu (John Shott) Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2000 10:20:17 -0700 Subject: "Hourglassed" SunRays .... Message-ID: <39BBC2D1.357A3F95@snf.stanford.edu> SNF Lab Members: This morning we applied a patch from Sun that they believes fixes a problem that been causing hourglassed sessions for a number of SunRay users. Hopefully, this will eliminate the hourglassed sessions that we have been seeing. However, if you do see a session become "hourglassed" (this is the little hourglass that most often occurs after you login, after the console window opens, but usually before either the Netscape icon or the Coral application appears) please send me e-mail telling me when it happened, which sunray you were at, etc. Also, while you can log in at another Sunray (which usually works) .... please try to not login more times than that so that I can take a look at some of the diagnostic log files. (We only have access to the most recent 3 logins for each of you ....) Thanks for your help and patience .... I'm hopeful that Sun has finally resolved this problem.

After reviewing the logs on the weekend, it appears that CPU 19 is acting up. Sun has agreed to come out today at 2:30pm to replace CPU 19. We expect to have the system down from 2:30 to 3:30pm. Please enable any equipment you wish to use during this time period before 2:30pm. We apologize for any inconvenience, but it's essential that we find and fix this hardware problem.

The SNF/IC Lab will close at 7:00 AM on the 14th to give the staff time to shut down all the equipment. The lab will re-open about 1 hour after the power comes back on. Most of the equipment will be up by then, however some equipment, such as tools with Cryo pumps, will take a few more hours to come back up. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly and we will not have any equipment that refuses to come back up. Thank you for your patience.

We will be bringing all servers down at 7:00am so Coral and email will unavailable beginning at 7:00am. We will bring all machines up as soon as power is restored. Power is scheduled to be restored by 9:30am.

We apologize if in our exhuberance we incorrectly recycled your labcoat. Please pick out a fresh coat. The hangers are in the blue bins in the gowning area. Thanks and we are sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you.

It would save current and especially future CPUs time if we knew which services worked and which didn't. If you have a phone which works, or one which doesn't, please email me with (just reply and fill in below), 0)works (y/n): 1)the carrier (MCI, ATT...): 2)the technology (TDMA, CDMA, PCS...): 3)the phone model (Nokia 5120, Ericson...): It is essential to include the technology (TDMA, CDMA, PCS...) as this is likely the determining factor in reception. I'll post a compilation of the results (so don't reply to ALL!).

I have been using shadowmasks for depositing gold on released structures and I know several other folks have done this with other metals and homemade fixtures, the problem is the alignment is not very good. EV apparently has a chuck for the aligner/bonder that will align shadowmasks to a wafer and clamp them together in a carrier made to go into sputterers and evaporators. If there is sufficient interest to justify it, we could get one for our EV system. Please let me know if you could use such a tool. Shadowmasks are available from places like Photo Sciences for example.
