20140279537 | FINANCIAL TRANSACTION SYSTEM AND METHOD CAPABLE OF UTILIZING A MOBILE DEVICE - The method and system of this invention employs a mobile application and hardware of a mobile device, such as a smart phone, to recognize a merchant code, such as uniquely identifiable two-dimensional images, to identify a select merchant or vendor. Each merchant code is associated with a particular mechanical device, goods or service available for purchase or payment. Upon recognition of the merchant code, a secure transmission is initiated and created by the consumer/user with a remote server, given that the consumer confirms a secure identity. The remote server also determines credit/funds availability in a transaction account created by the consumer. The transaction account is linked to a funding account. As directed by the consumer/user using the mobile device, a portion or all of the credit/funds are then transferred by the remote server to the vendor/merchant. Upon receipt, the mechanical device or vendor authorizes the delivery of select goods or service to the consumer. | 09-18-2014 |

20150089329 | ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT FOR FITTING A VIRTUAL ADDRESS RANGE TO A PHYSICAL MEMORY CONTAINING FAULTY ADDRESS - A memory having variable size blocks of failed memory addresses is connected to a TCAM storing data values of ranges of addresses in the memory. The ranges of addresses correspond to virtual addresses that, in combination with an offset, point away from failed memory addresses. A reduction circuit connected to the TCAM produces an output for each programmed range of addresses based on a virtual address. A priority encoder, connected to the reduction circuit, selects a first range from the reduction circuit and passes the first range to a random-access memory (RAM). Responsive to the virtual address bring an address in one of the ranges of addresses, the priority encoder passes the first range containing the virtual address to the RAM, which passes a corresponding offset value to the Adder based on the first range. The Adder calculates a physical memory address directing the virtual address to a functional memory location. | 03-26-2015 |
20150194214 | ARRAY ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE TO PERFORM RANGE-MATCH OPERATIONS WITH CONTENT ADDRESSABLE MEMORY (CAM) CIRCUITS - An array organization and architecture for a content addressable memory (CAM) system.
