| 20110286276 | PARTIAL LOCAL SELF BOOSTING FOR NAND - A memory system is programmed with minimal program disturb and reduced junction and channel leakage during self-boosting. Pre-charging bias signals are applied to word lines adjacent to a selected word line before a program signal is applied to the selected word line and a pass signal is applied to the remaining word lines. The pre-charging bias signals apply a pre-charge to the memory cells. The pre-charging bias signals are chosen to improve the isolation of the memory cells on word lines adjacent to the selected word line, improve self boost efficiency and reduce current leakage to prevent or reduce program disturb and/or programming errors especially in the inhibited memory cells on the selected word line. | 11-24-2011 |

| 20120092924 | METHOD OF PROVIDING AN ERASE ACTIVATION ENERGY OF A MEMORY DEVICE - A write-once read-many times memory device is made up of first and second electrodes, a passive layer between the first and second electrodes, and an active layer between the first and second electrode. The memory device is programmed by providing a charged species from the passive layer into the active layer. The memory device may be programmed to have for the programmed memory device a first erase activation energy. The present method provides for the programmed memory device a second erase activation energy greater than the first erase activation energy. | 04-19-2012 |

| 20100238731 | PARTIAL LOCAL SELF-BOOSTING OF A MEMORY CELL CHANNEL - A method for partial local self-boosting of a memory cell channel is disclosed. As a part of memory cell channel partial local self-boosting, an isolating memory cell located on a source side of a program inhibited memory cell is turned off and a gating memory cell located on a drain side of the program inhibited memory cell is used to pass a pre-charge voltage to the program inhibited memory cell to provide a pre-charge voltage to a channel of the program inhibited memory cell. Moreover, a pre-charge voltage is passed to a buffering memory cell located on the source side of the program inhibited memory cell to provide a pre-charge voltage to a channel of the buffering memory cell and the gating memory cell that is located on the drain side of the program inhibited memory cell is turned off. During programming, a program voltage is applied to the gate of the program inhibited memory cell where a channel voltage of the program inhibited memory cell is raised above a level raised by the pre-charge voltage. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20110320565 | DISTRIBUTING PERSONALIZED CONTENT - The invention provides a method and system for distributing personalized content to potentially large numbers of recipients. A pool is selected, from among all content available for distribution, of those content elements that will be made available for simultaneous distribution, and personalized content is selected for distribution from that pool. The content of the pool can change with new selections over time. For each individual recipient, content elements in the pool are examined to determine if they are predicted to be of sufficient interest to that recipient for distribution, and if so, those content elements are distributed. If not, successive content elements in the pool are examined, relaxing the standard for sufficient interest, until at least one content element is found and distributed to the individual recipient. | 12-29-2011 |

| 20080222938 | BOBBING WATERFOWL DECOY - A waterfowl decoy for positioning at the surface of a body water, the waterfowl decoy comprising: a waterfowl decoy body, with a head and neck region, a front breast perimeter and a bottom surface; a drivetrain arranged generally orthogonally to the bottom surface of the waterfowl decoy body, the drivetrain comprising: an electric motor located generally in the head and neck region of the waterfowl decoy body; an output shaft in operable communication with the electrical motor; a disc shaped paddle in communication with the output shaft, the disc shaped paddle arranged generally parallel to the bottom surface of the waterfowl decoy bottom; a keel attached to the bottom of the waterfowl decoy body; a battery located within the keel, and in communication with the electric motor; and a central processing unit located with in the keel, and in operable communication with the battery and signal communication with the electric motor. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090272020 | Bobbing waterfowl decoy - A floating water tight mechanical waterfowl decoy that produces a bobbing motion at the surface of the water for creating a radiating ripple pattern and a motion which also mimics a courtship behavior, both of which are effective lures for attracting waterfowl to a desired location. The waterfowl decoy includes a buoyant waterproof body to which an electric vertically reciprocating linear motion drivetrain is mounted to the bottom surface in the general head region that drives a disc shaped plunger positioned generally horizontally below the body surface. The waterfowl decoy further includes a waterproof magazine, also mounted to the bottom surface of the body generally in the posterior region behind the drivetrain, for containment of a timing/receiver circuit that controls the drivetrain and is in signal communication with a remote transmitter that functions as an ON/OFF switch. The waterfowl decoy is powered by a rechargeable battery pack also located in the magazine. The bobbing motion is produced by the up and down motion of the plunger in a dense medium such as water causing the motion to be transferred to the body. This motion, in addition to producing a visible wave train also mimics a courtship behavior making the motion and waves a very effective lure to passing waterfowl. | 11-05-2009 |
