Abstract: A social media application allows a person to make a limited number of referrals to an entity. The entity keeps track of whether the referred people patronize the entity and awards credits to the person making the referral when a referred person patronizes the entity. Upon receiving a threshold credit value, the entity may reward the person making referrals.

Abstract: A system and method of receiving data is disclosed. The system includes an analog to digital converter, registers to store a plurality of digital samples provided by the analog to digital converter, and a state machine coupled to the registers. The state machine detects jitter or drift in at least one of the digital samples and provides a digital value for the digital sample based on at least one other of the plurality of digital samples. In a particular embodiment, the samples are each comprised of a plurality of data segments, and the state machine applies a virtual frame to the data segments of the digital sample and shifts the virtual frame to include at least one data segment of the other digital sample.
