20100188787METHOD AND APPARATUS TO REDUCE FOOTPRINT OF ESD PROTECTION WITHIN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - An input/output (“I/O”) circuit has a first N-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (“NMOS”) field-effect transistor (“FET”) coupled to the input pin with a silicide block. A first P-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (“PMOS”) FET is directly connected to the input pin, with its N-well electrically coupled to an ESD well bias circuit. An NMOS low-voltage differential signal (“LVDS”) driver is also directly connected to the input pin, and has cascaded NMOS FETs. The first NMOS FET of the LVDS driver is fabricated within a first P-tap guard ring electrically coupled to ground and an N-well guard ring coupled to the ESD well bias. The second NMOS FET of the LVDS driver is fabricated within a second P-tap guard ring electrically coupled to ground.07-29-2010

20090061833SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE TO USE MESSAGING TO IMPLEMENT PROGRAMMATIC ACTIONS - A mobile computing device may be configured to process a message may be incoming into or outgoing from the mobile computing device. A trigger may be detected in association with the message, and the trigger may be associated with an operation. The mobile computing device may automatically perform or initiate the operation in response to detecting the trigger.03-05-2009
20090222838TECHNIQUES FOR DYNAMIC CONTACT INFORMATION - Techniques involving contact information are disclosed. For example, an apparatus may include a contact entry generation module and an entry updating module. The contact entry generation module creates a contact entry having a location-specific information field. The entry updating module obtains an update for the location-specific information field from a remote device. This update corresponds to a current location.09-03-2009

20100106578SHAREHOLDER REWARD SYSTEM - A system for providing an offer from multiple sources to a user promoting a reward upon satisfying conditions of the offer. The system electronically receives data indicating that a user has selected an offer to receive a reward from an issuer of stock or an intermediary based on stock ownership. Upon identifying the conditions of the offer, the system determines whether the conditions of the offer are satisfied using stock ownership and/or purchase data associated with the user stored in a shareholder database that aggregates ownership information from multiple sources. The stock purchase data stored in the shareholder database represents stock ownership records that are based on multiple sources including among others: purchases made by the user via one or more investment accounts, gifts or grants of stock or convertible instruments, and stock purchased by the user directly from an issuer of stock or on the open-market through the system. When the conditions of the offer are satisfied based on the stock purchase data stored in the shareholder database, the system determines the reward associated with the offer and delivers the reward to the user.04-29-2010

20120118956METHOD OF TRANSMITTING INFORMATION FROM EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL CARD READERS TO MOBILE DEVICES - A method is provided of transmitting information with a communication protocol to a mobile device. A card reader is provided with a read head that has a slot for swiping a magnetic stripe of a card, an output jack and device electronics that includes a microcontroller. The read head is used to read data on a magnetic stripe of a card. A raw magnetic signal is produced indicative of data stored on the magnetic stripe. The raw magnetic head signal is converted into a processed digital signal that the microcontroller can interpret. A synchronous Manchester encoded stream is produced that makes a greater number of 0 crossings. A Manchester encoded stream output jack signal is delivered to the mobile device through the output jack.05-17-2012
20120126007CARD READER WITH COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL - A card reader has a read head positioned in the housing. The read head is configured to be coupled to a mobile device. The read head has a slot for swiping a magnetic stripe of a card. The read head reads data on the magnetic stripe and produces a raw magnetic signal indicative of data stored on the magnetic stripe. Device electronics are provided that include a microcontroller. The device electronics receives a raw magnetic head signal and converts it into a processed digital signal that the microcontroller can interpret. The microcontroller produces a synchronous Manchester encoded stream that makes a greater number of 0 crossings. An output jack is adapted to be inserted in a port of the mobile device and deliver a Manchester encoded stream output jack signal to the mobile device.05-24-2012
20120126012METHOD OF TRANSMITTING INFORMATION FROM A POWER EFFICIENT CARD TO A MOBILE DEVICE - A method of transmitting information to a mobile device includes providing a read head with a slot for swiping a magnetic stripe of a card, a power supply coupled to wake-up electronics and a microcontroller. The wake-up electronics are powered by a microphone bias of a mobile device.05-24-2012
