Abstract: An electronic logic circuit uses areal capacitive coupling devices coupled together to process a set of data inputs. Each areal capacitive coupling device can be configured such that a floating gate potential of such device can be altered to at least a first state or a second state in response to receiving an input signal from the set of data inputs, which is coupled electrically to the floating gate. A majority function logic circuit (and other similar circuits) can be interconnected this way using far fewer gates than with a conventional CMOS implementation. Selective logic gates can also be enabled or disabled by configuring them effectively as memory devices.

Abstract: An array of programmable non-volatile devices, such as a nominal OTP cell, is operated such that a Vt representing a particular binary logic state is changed over time. This allows for re-programming and emulating a few times or multi-time programmable device.

Abstract: A programmable non-volatile configuration circuit uses a pair of non-volatile memory devices arranged in a pull-up and pull-down arrangement. The non-volatile memory devices have floating gates that overlaps a variable portion of a source/drain region. This allows a programming voltage for the device to be imparted to the floating gate through variable capacitive coupling, thus changing the state of the device. The invention can be used in environments to store configuration data for programmable logic devices, field programmable arrays, and many other applications.

Abstract: A programmable non-volatile device is operated with a floating gate that functions as a FET gate that overlaps a portion of a source/drain region and allows for variable coupling through geometry and/or biasing conditions. This allows a programming voltage for the device to be imparted to the floating gate through variable capacitive coupling, thus changing the state of the device. Multi-state embodiments are also possible. The invention can be used in environments such as data encryption, reference trimming, manufacturing ID, security ID, and many other applications.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell and array structure is disclosed situated within a high voltage region of an integrated circuit. The cell utilizes capacitive coupling based on an overlap between a gate and a drift region to impart a programming voltage. Programming is effectuated using a drain extension which can act to inject hot electrons. The cell can be operated as a one-time programmable (OTP) or multiple-time programmable (MTP) device. The fabrication of the cell relies on processing steps associated with high voltage devices, thus avoiding the need for additional masks, manufacturing steps, etc.

Abstract: Marketing/advertising presentations are customized for transit passengers, such as commercial airline passengers. The passengers offer a good captive audience during long-duration trips since there is little opportunity for distraction. The passengers' attention and participation can be guaranteed by offering differing levels of incentives (e.g. reduced fare, upgraded seats, product/service discounts, etc.).
