  • Publication number: 20080109306
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention include methods and systems that involve enabling content item generators to present content items for association of advertisements; enabling an advertiser to request association of an advertisement with at least one of the presented content items; and associating the content items with advertising, tracking, and user interaction instructions so that and upon a subsequent user interaction with the content advertising will be displayed and an action is automatically taken to facilitate payment of a share of revenue for the associated advertisement to an account of the content item generator.

  • Patent number: 6876249
    Abstract: An adjustable voltage reference circuit (14, 25, 70) that can be adjusted via an external device is disclosed. The circuit is designed to receive, after packaging, a plurality of adjustment inputs (20). These inputs are used by an adjustable voltage cell (21, 26, 71) to produce an adjustment factor. The adjustment factor will then be used by a voltage reference cell (22, 27, 72) to adjust the reference voltage (Vref).

  • Patent number: 6747477
    Abstract: A programmable data latch (21) is disclosed. The data latch comprises a master latch (34) operable to load data into the data latch (21) and a slave latch (36) operable to receive the data and produce the output (20) and inverted output of the data latch (21). Also provided is a plurality of programmable floating gate transistor (53, 54) wherein the “on” or “off” state of the floating gate transistor (53, 54) is determined by the data loaded into the data latch (21). A programming voltage supply (26) is supplied to the floating gate transistors (53, 54) which increases the threshold voltage of the floating gate transistor (53, 54) in the “on” state and produces a programmed transistor. The programmed transistor is operable to set the state of the data latch (21) upon subsequent use.
