  • Circuit for blowing an electrically blowable fuse in SOI technologies
    Patent number: 7271643
    Abstract: An electrically blowable fuse circuit having a fuse which may be placed in a condition to be blown. The circuit includes a first transistor having a body, a source, a drain, and a gate. The source is connected to one end of the fuse and the drain is connected to ground. The first transistor further includes a controllable parasitic device in its body. A second transistor is connected to the parasitic device such that when the second transistor is turned on, the parasitic device turns on the first transistor, allowing the fuse to be blown when the fuse is placed in a condition to be blown.

  • Process of operations with an interchangeable transmission device and apparatus for use therein for a common interface for use with digital cameras
    Patent number: 6914695
    Abstract: A digital camera supplies images to a first computer of a network via a receiver which is enabled as a bridge for Bluetooth, wireless LAN and infrared transmission from a digital camera. Once a digital camera is registered in a computer system, transmissions from the camera can be transmitted to the receiving first computer and thereafter transferred over the network for creation of a multi-media file which can be viewed at a private network or Internet accessible second computer.
