20090192889 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING UNAUTHORIZED CONTACT OF APPLICANTS - A system and method for preventing unauthorized use of sales leads. Application information is gathered from an applicant after the applicant views an Internet ad or other advertisement. The application information may include the applicant's e-mail address and phone number. At least one pseudo e-mail address or phone number is then created that identifies at least some of the application information and a potential purchaser of the application information. A unique pseudo e-mail address or phone number is created for each potential purchaser of the application information. The pseudo e-mail addresses or phone numbers and at least some of the application information are then provided to potential purchasers of the application information. Any communications sent using the pseudo e-mail addresses or phone numbers are initially directed to a mail server or phone system operated by or under the control of the entity that placed the advertisement. If a potential purchaser attempts to contact an applicant with the pseudo e-mail address or phone number without first paying for the application information, the e-mail or phone call is sent to the entity which generated the lead, not the applicant. Once a potential purchaser purchases the application information, communications made by the potential purchaser using the pseudo e-mail address are forwarded to the applicant's actual e-mail address. | 07-30-2009 |

20090276706 | Method for automating troubleshooting flowcharts - A troubleshooting flowchart is automated by taking relevant information from the flowchart and entering it into a control file or database. A graphical user development tool is provided so a flowchart can be automated by someone not skilled in programming. Whenever possible the troubleshooting device queries the device under test, reads the response and determines the next troubleshooting step based on the response. If the troubleshooting step requires the user to provide an answer, the troubleshooting device displays a question, and a means to input the answer. Objects such as text, audio, video or other files are displayed to make the meaning of the question clearer. Also a troubleshooting step could be a procedure that the user needs to perform.

20090045840 | Method for Radiation Tolerance by Logic Book Folding - A logic book for a programmable device such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) achieves improved radiation tolerance by providing transistors of the same doping type in different well regions that are physically isolated by intervening well regions with complementary doping. For example, n-type field effect transistors (NFETs) may be located in two outer rows of the book with separate Pwell regions, while p-type transistors are located in two inner rows of the book sharing a common Nwell region. Since the NFETs in separate wells are physically isolated from each other, a circuit structure which uses two NFETs in the two outer rows is much less likely to suffer multiple upsets from a single radiation strike. More complicated embodiments of the present invention include additional transistor rows in the stack with isolated Nwells and Pwells. | 02-19-2009 |
20090045841 | Method for Radiation Tolerance by Implant Well Notching - A logic book for a programmable device such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) achieves improved radiation tolerance by providing notches in an implant well between adjacent transistors and fills the notches with complementary well regions that act as a barrier to charge migration. For example, a row of n-type field effect transistors (NFETs) is located in a Pwell region, while a row of p-type transistors is located in an Nwell region with portions of the Nwell region extending between the NFETs. More complicated embodiments of the present invention include embedded well islands to provide barriers for adjacent transistors in both rows of the book. | 02-19-2009 |
