One embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for appending server-side glossary definitions to transient Web content in a networked computing environment. A glossary database stores a glossary, which includes a plurality of structured records. Each structured record is keyed by a unique identifier derived from a key word and contains a definition associated with the key word. A parser receives Web content, which includes text in transit to a Web client, and parses the text into one or more tokens corresponding to one such key word. A comparator module matches the tokens against each unique identifier in the glossary and retrieves each structured record containing a matching unique identifier. A constructor inserts a hyperlink in place of the text corresponding to each matched token and references the definition contained in the retrieved structured record for the matching unique identifier.

A method for transaction approval includes submitting a transaction approval request from a transaction site to a clearing agency; submitting a user authorization request from the clearing agency to a user device; receiving a response to the user authorization request; and sending a response to the transaction approval request from the clearing agency to the transaction site. Another method for transaction approval includes submitting a transaction approval request from a transaction site to a clearing agency; determining whether a trusted transaction is elected; submitting a user authorization request from the clearing agency to a user device, if a trusted transaction is determined to be elected; receiving a response to the user authorization request from the user device, if the user authentification request was submitted; and sending a response to the transaction approval request from the clearing agency to the transaction site. A system for transaction approval includes a clearing agency for the transaction approval, the clearing agency having a function to request for user authorization; a network operatively coupled to the clearing agency; and a user device adapted to be operatively coupled to the network for trusted transaction approval.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for managing a computer system performance tuning initiative in a networked computing environment. A submission package including a plurality of individual fields identifying a software application candidate for performance tuning is received. Each field describes a quantifiable aspect of the candidate software application. Each field in the submission package is parsed into normalized content and the parsed content is evaluated for completeness and correctness. Approval of each evaluated submission package for performance tuning is solicited by presenting a percentage reflecting overall completeness and correctness. Tuner sign-up and status and tracking performance tuning progress are monitored following approval of each evaluated submission package. Results from the performance tuning are apprised upon completion.

Methods and apparatus for sharing data provided by a first application to two or more additional applications (e.g., probes) are disclosed. It is ascertained whether the first application is executing. When it is ascertained that the first application is executing, data produced by the first application is provided to the two or more additional applications if data provided by the first application can be shared by the two or more additional applications. When it is ascertained that the first application is not executing or if data provided by the executing first application cannot be shared by the two or more additional applications, the first application is executed such that data provided by the first application can be provided to the two or more additional applications and the data produced by the first application is distributed to the two or more additional applications.

A method of performing a thermal process using a bake plate of a track lithography tool. The bake plate includes a plurality of heater zones. The method includes providing a first drive signal to a first electrode in electrical communication with a process surface of the bake plate. The first electrode is associated with a first heater zone of the plurality of heater zones and each of the plurality of heater zones is adapted to receive a control voltage. The method also includes moving a semiconductor substrate toward the process surface of the bake plate, receiving a first response signal from the first electrode, processing the first response signal to determine a first capacitance value associated with a first gap between the first electrode and a first portion of the semiconductor substrate, and providing a measurement signal related to the first capacitance value.
