Abstract: An automated lead management solution receives network traffic from a lead provider server over a network. The network traffic is authenticated, validated, and filtered. Specifically, an intelligent filter engine may filter the network traffic at different levels of granularity such as field, campaign, and tier levels and stop the filtering whenever the network traffic fails an authentication, is invalidated or filtered out. When a lead passes through this rigorous filtering process, the filter engine identifies target system(s) that best matched the lead and sends the lead and data identifying the target system(s) to a ping engine. The ping engine pings the target system(s) sequentially or simultaneously. A response from a target system, which may include an instruction and/or a network address to redirect the network traffic, is then communicated to the lead provider server in real time in response to receiving the network traffic from the lead provider server.

Abstract: PWM control circuits and soft start circuitry thereof are presented in which a source follower circuit provides an input to a pulse generator error amplifier during startup according to a lower one of an internal soft start circuit ramp signal and a voltage across and externally connected capacitor, with a current source connected to the source follower to limit the charging current supplied to the externally connected capacitor.

Abstract: A web-based multi-user system and method for identifying, retrieving, and delivering information corresponding to items contained in a user search list from two or more information sources on the World Wide Web (WWW) is provided. The system includes a central server that periodically searches the information sources on the WWW for information corresponding to the items contained in the user search list. The central server retrieves the information onto a storage database where a determination is made as to whether the information is current. The central server electronically delivers only the current information to the user. The system and method therefore provides to the user automatic and periodic electronic reports containing only current or updated information corresponding to items contained in the user search list that the user desires to track.
