Abstract: A system for providing user-driven customization and enhanced personalization of interactive experiences. The system includes data storage for storing player profiles, with each including customization preferences useful in enhancing or generating one of the interactive experiences. The system includes a gameplay space adapted to provide an interactive experience, which includes one or more interactive elements. The system includes a gameplay device configured to be worn or carried by a player. A detection device detects a presence of the player in the gameplay space and obtains a unique identifier for the gameplay device. The system includes a controller retrieving a set of the customization preferences in one of the player profiles associated with the identifier.

Abstract: A static random access memory array (200) with power supplies and an array biasing scheme is disclosed. A power supply (202) has an output voltage that is applied to the bitlines (40). The output voltage pre-charges the bitlines (40) to read from the memory cells (10). An array power supply (204) has an array voltage that is applied to the memory cells. The array voltage is higher than the output voltage. The array power supply (204) is drived by boosting the output voltage of the power supply (202).

Abstract: A TTL gate (22) includes a current generating circuit (24) comprising an NPN transistor (30) having its base coupled to a diode (24) and its emitter coupled to one of the gate's output transistors (14). Transistor (30) enables diode (24) to deliver a high current of short duration to the output OUT responsive to a low-to-high output transition. The current provides low-to-high output transition while protecting output transistor (14) from damaging currents caused by a short circuit at output OUT.

Abstract: A digital crossbar switch for switching data from an input/output data bus to an internal data bus and to the same or another input/output data bus which includes a plurality of multiplexer logic units, an m-bit internal data bus coupled to each of said multiplexer logic units where m is an integer, and a plurality of n-bit input/output data buses one connected to each of the multiplexer logic units were n is an integer. The switch further includes an m/n to 1 multiplexer, where m/n is an integer, in each multiplexer logic unit. The m/n to 1 multiplexer has an input control to the internal data bus and an output coupled to a corresponding one of the input/output data buses and is operative in response to a configuration control signal to switch a selected n-bits of data from the internal data bus to the corresponding input/output data bus. A memory storage for storing configuration control signals is coupled to the m/n to 1 multiplexer.

Abstract: A high speed interstage STL buffer (27) is disclosed having a low threshold and high driving capability. A first Schottky-clamped grounded emitter transistor (28) receives input signals through a Schottky steering diode (38) and inverts the input signal. The input signal is applied in parallel through a Schottky steering diode (20) to a second Schottky-clamped grounded emitter transistor (12). The collector (22) of the second transistor (12) provides an output of the buffer (27) for driving load current in one direction with respect to the buffer output. A third transistor (40) connected as an emitter follower has the emitter (42) thereof connected to the buffer output for driving load currents in the other direction. The base (46) of the emitter follower transistor (40) is coupled by a Schottky steering diode (50) to the collector (32) of the first transistor (28).
