Non-peptide GnRH agents capable of inhibiting the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone are described. Such compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, and active metabolites are suitable for treating mammalian reproductive disorders and steroid hormone-dependent tumors as well as for regulating fertility, where suppression of gonadotropin release is indicated. Methods for synthesizing the compounds and intermediates useful in their preparation are also described.

A method of physical vapor deposition (PVD) is disclosed in which xenon is used as the operating gas in the vacuum chamber in the deposition of an adhesion layer, preferably silicon, which allows the adhesion layer to be ultra-thin with improved durability over prior art films. The use of argon as is typical in the prior art results in argon atoms being incorporated into the ultra-thin silicon film with deleterious results. In films that are only several angstroms thick, the contamination of the film with argon or other elements can yield a film with reduced adhesion performance and in some cases noble atoms such as argon can escape the film leaving voids or pinholes. The use of the larger and heavier xenon atoms in the vacuum chamber produces a substantially purer film with reduced risk of voids and pinholes. In a preferred embodiment the use of xenon as the operating gas for deposition of the silicon adhesion layer is combined with the use of a filtered cathodic arc (FCA) process to deposit the protective overcoat, preferably carbon based, on a magnetic recording head.

A process for ion milling using photoresist as a mask is described. In a preferred embodiment the invention is used in the fabricating air-bearing features on sliders for use in magnetic storage devices. According to the invention the photoresist (liquid or dry) is applied, developed and removed as in the prior art which includes baking steps. The embodiment of the invention includes an additional baking step beyond whatever baking steps are used in the photolithography process. The additional baking step is preferably performed immediately prior to ion milling. The additional baking step according to the invention yields increased uniformity of the depth of the ion milling which is believed to result from reduction of volatile material such as water in the photoresist. When the invention is used as part of the manufacturing process for ion milling the air-bearing features on a slider, the features are more uniform which improves the overall quality and performance.

In one embodiment, a method includes maintaining a data store of nodes and edges and for each of one or more users: scanning items of content associated with the corresponding user node; identifying a candidate item of content; searching for matches between the candidate item of content and existing nodes; determining whether or not a match between the candidate item of content and an existing node exists; and when it is determined that at least one match exists, generating an edge from the user node to the existing node for which the best match is determined; and when it is determined that no match exists, generating a new node based on the candidate item of content, and generating an edge from the user node to the new node.
