  • Patent number: 10692972
    Abstract: A field effect transistor semiconductor device having a compact device footprint for use in automotive and hot swap applications. The device includes a plurality of field effect transistor cells with the plurality of transistor cells having at least one low threshold voltage transistor cell and at least one high threshold voltage transistor cell arranged on a substrate. The field effect transistor semiconductor device is configured and arranged to operate the at least one high threshold voltage transistor cell during linear mode operation, and operate both the low threshold voltage transistor cell and the high threshold voltage transistor cell during resistive mode operation. Further provided is a method of operating field effect transistor semiconductor device including a plurality of field effect transistor cells that includes at least one low threshold voltage transistor cell and at least one high threshold voltage transistor cell.

  • Patent number: 9069845
    Abstract: Personalized electronic-mail delivery is disclosed. The content of incoming electronic-mail messages is identified. Determinations may be made with respect to whether the content of the incoming electronic-mail messages corresponds to a user profile. The user profile may indicate one or more user preferences of a particular user with respect to incoming electronic-mail messages. If the incoming electronic-mail messages correspond to the one or more user preferences indicated in the user profile, the electronic-mail messages may be delivered to an electronic-mail server. The electronic-mail messages may then be displayed to the user via a list of electronic-mail messages reflective of those messages that are stored at the electronic-mail server and accessible to the end-user.

  • Patent number: 7783777
    Abstract: Embodiments of a peer-to-peer-based content sharing/distribution network (CDN). In embodiments, some peers are content publishers while other peers are content consumers. When a consumer peer gets content from a content publisher, the consumer peer may become a content publisher that may be accessed by other peers. If a peer desires a particular content, the peer may get the content from a nearby content publisher, saving access to a central server. The more a content is in demand, the more likely it is to be replicated, and hence more likely to be found by consumer peers on nearby content publisher peers. If a content publisher peer does not have all of a requested content, the requesting peer may be redirected to another content publisher peer to obtain the missing content. Embodiments may be implemented in peer-to-peer networks implemented according to a peer-to-peer platform.

  • Publication number: 20090103835
    Abstract: Systems and methods have been developed for manipulating media assets in a networked computing environment where processing power, bandwidth and/or storage capacity may be limited. More specifically, systems and methods have been developed whereby low-resolution media assets may be created that are optimized for transfer over low bandwidth networks and for editing and manipulation in an environment with low processing power and low storage capacity, and a high-resolution media asset may be created for playback.
