  • Patent number: 6874023
    Abstract: Accessing web sites on which the user has an account and providing notification of changes at the site, and improved electronic mail management is provided, allowing all email to be collected and forwarded from a central site to other email addresses or allowing for the user to view the email at the central site. The user may assign individual email addresses to any number of uses, for example, an individual email address for use in communicating with a particular commercial web site.

  • Patent number: 6848085
    Abstract: A computer aided hardware design system for enabling design of an actual hardware implementation for a digital circuit using a high-level algorithmic programming language. The system converts an algorithmic representation for a hardware design initially created in the high-level programming language, such as ANSI C, to a hardware design implementation, such as an FPGA or other programmable logic or an ASIC. The C-type program representative of the hardware design is compiled into a register transfer level (RTL) hardware description language (HDL) that can be synthesized into a gate-level hardware representation. The system additionally enables simulation of the HDL design to verify design functionality. Finally, various physical design tools can be utilized to produce an actual hardware implementation. The system also permits the use of other non-C-type high-level programming languages by first translating to a C-type program.
