| 20100299621 | System and Method for Extracting a Plurality of Images from a Single Scan - A user interface is presented to a remote user via a network, such as through a computer. A preview command is received from the user. A scanning process (e.g., scanning multiple photographs simultaneously) is initiated at a scanner coupled with the user's computer, in response to receiving the preview command. The act of initiating is performed from a location remote from the user. A single scanned image is obtained through the scanner. A plurality of crop selections are received from the user, all of which are made within the single scanned image. Several regions within multiple scanned photographs may be selected for cropping. A plurality of image files are created based on the crop selections. The plurality of image files may be created in response to the user clicking just once on a button presented by the user interface. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20120075946 | Memory Device with Phase Distribution Circuit for Controlling Relative Durations of Precharge and Active Phases - A memory device comprises a memory array and a phase distribution circuit coupled to the memory array. In one aspect, the phase distribution circuit is operative to control respective durations of a precharge phase and an active phase of a memory cycle of the memory array based on relative transistor characteristics of a tracked precharge transistor of a first conductivity type and a tracked memory cell transistor of a second conductivity type different than the first conductivity type. For example, the phase distribution circuit may comprise a first tracking transistor of the first conductivity type for tracking the precharge transistor of the first conductivity type and a second tracking transistor of the second conductivity type for tracking the memory cell transistor of the second conductivity type. The relative transistor characteristics may comprise relative strengths of the tracked precharge and memory cell transistors. | 03-29-2012 |
