Abstract: Data transfer techniques include transferring display surface data from a memory subsystem into a stutter buffer at a first rate until the stutter buffer is substantially full. The memory interface and/or memory of the memory subsystem may then be placed into a suspend state until the stutter buffer is substantially empty. The display surface data is transferred from the stutter buffer to display logic at a second rate even when the memory subsystem is in a suspend state. The second rate, which is typically the rendering rate of the display, is substantially slower than the rate at which data is transferred into the stutter buffer.

Abstract: A method for categorizing financial records involves obtaining multiple financial records from a financial institution. Each financial record in the multiple financial records is categorized using a category selected from multiple categories, where the multiple categories include multiple business-related categories and at least one non-business-related category. Each financial record categorized using a business-related category selected from the multiple business-related categories is mapped to a tax category selected from multiple tax categories, where the tax category is associated with the business-related category. A financial report is generated that includes the tax category for each financial record categorized using one of the multiple business-related categories.

Abstract: A user records categorization information on a financial instrument used to conduct a financial transaction. A financial entity that handles the financial instrument processes the categorization information recorded on the financial instrument. The financial entity uses the processed categorization information to generate a report for the user. The financial entity stores the processed categorization information in an electronic storage for the user. The user then uses a financial management module to access the stored categorization information and to generate financial data.
