Abstract: Techniques are described for collecting user descriptive data as a user employs a client device, such as a personal computer, laptop, PDA, or the like. The data is evaluated and a profile code is assigned based upon the evaluation. This profile code is selected from a domain of profile codes established so that useful markets for targeted advertising are identified by the profile codes, but the profile codes are not so specific that the user's privacy is unduly threatened.

Abstract: Details of a highly cost effective and efficient implementation of a manifold array (ManArray) architecture and instruction syntax for use therewith are described herein. Various aspects of this approach include the regularity of the syntax, the relative ease with which the instruction set can be represented in database form, the ready ability with which tools can be created, the ready generation of self-checking codes and parameterized testcases. Parameterizations can be fairly easily mapped and system maintenance is significantly simplified.
