  • Publication number: 20130097059
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for identifying a marketing opportunity by associating a set of prediction scores with a set of privately-held entities. Each of the set of prediction scores is based on a likelihood of a privately-held entity initiating an IPO over a set period of time. To derive the set of prediction scores, systems and techniques are disclosed that utilize one or more private company data, investor data, deals data, and market data associated with a privately-held entity. An accompanying confidence rating may also be provided for each of the set of prediction scores.

  • Patent number: 6825699
    Abstract: Buffer that includes an input node, an output node, and a three-transistor charge pump circuit is coupled to the input node and the output node. The buffer generates an output signal that is a delayed version of a signal presented at the input node. The three-transistor charge pump includes a first transistor (e.g., a pass transistor) that includes a drain electrode that is coupled to the input node, a gate electrode and a source electrode; a second transistor that includes a drain electrode that is coupled to a first predetermined voltage, a gate electrode coupled to the drain electrode of the second transistor, and a source electrode coupled to the gate electrode of the first transistor; and a capacitive element that includes a first electrode that is coupled to the source electrode of the second transistor and the gate electrode of the first transistor and a second electrode that is coupled to the output node.
