Abstract: Some embodiments provide a memory cell comprising a body region doped with charge carriers of a first type, a source region disposed in the body region and doped with charge carriers of a second type, and a drain region disposed in the body region and doped with charge carriers of the second type. According to some embodiments, the body region, the source region, and the drain region are oriented in a first direction, the body region and the source region form a first junction, and the body region and the drain region form a second junction. Moreover, a conductivity of the first junction from the body region to the source region in a case that the first junction is unbiased is substantially less than a conductivity of the second junction from the body region to the drain region in a case that the second junction is unbiased. Some embodiments further include a transistor oriented in a second direction, wherein the second direction is not parallel to the first direction.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to facilitate access to documents via associated tags. According to one embodiment, a first document tag is initially assigned to a document. For example, an author may review a document and indicate which document tag should be assigned to the document. An associated tag for the document is then automatically determined based on the first document tag. For example, a pre-determined tag association may be used to determine the associated tag based on the first document tag. The author may then review the associated tag to determine whether or not the associated tag should be also assigned to the document.

Abstract: A computer-assisted method includes hardware, software and telecommunications components that cooperatively achieve the technical effect of an improved electronic purchasing transaction system. In various embodiments of the invention, at least one master account is established for a client. A pool of limited use account identifiers or secondary account identifiers, that are separate and distinct from the master account, is associated with the master account by a purchasing system or account management system. Each of the limited use account identifiers may be used by the client to purchase items from merchants.

Abstract: An input branch of a loss-of-signal (LOS) detector is coupled to a first input of a comparator. A threshold branch of the LOS detector is coupled to a second input of the comparator. An operational amplifier is connected between the input branch and the threshold branch to couple an offset level from the input branch to the threshold branch. The offset level is then cancelled at the comparator.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, time domain reflectometry based transmitter equalization is provided. For example, a reflection detector in a transmitter may detect a reflection signal associated with a calibration signal that was transmitted via an interconnect. The reflection detector may then provide filter information to a transmitting unit to facilitate a transmission of data to a remote receiver via the interconnect. According to some embodiments, the receiver adjusts a termination impedance before the calibration signal is transmitted.

Abstract: A circuit is provided having a differential difference amplifier (DDA) having first and second inputs to receive a desired body bias signal, and a third input to receive a supply voltage, the DDA configured to generate an intermediate output signal, the intermediate output signal coupled to an output buffer generating an output signal having a desired gain, the DDA having a fourth input, to cause the output signal to reference to variations in the supply voltage.

Abstract: A system, method, apparatus, and computer program code for using physical characteristic information obtained from two or more subjects to help evaluate subjects or to determine a course of action to take with the subjects includes receiving data indicative of one or more physical characteristics from two or more subjects, determining an evaluation of the data, and providing a notification to a device of the evaluation. A physical characteristic of a subject might be or include the subject's heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar level, posture, temperature, respiration rate, facial response or position, weight, height, galvanic skin response, pheromone emission, brain wave pattern or rhythm, odor, motion, etc., or a change in any one or more of them.

Abstract: A system to monitor a call center includes reception of call center data, determination of respective values of a plurality of measures based on the call center data, determination of a compliance description for each of the plurality of measures, presentation of an indicator in association with each of the plurality of measures, wherein an indicator presented in association with a measure corresponds to a compliance description determined for the measure, reception of a selection of a presented indicator, and presentation of a value of a measure associated with the selected indicator in response to the received selection.
