20130058438 | Digital Compensation Technique Using Area Efficient Tri-state Architecture - An integrated circuit device can include a radio-frequency device and a hard-wired lookup table. The radio-frequency device can have an analog input, a digital control input, and an analog output. An unadjusted transfer response of the analog output relative to the analog input and the digital control input can differ from an ideal transfer response. The hard-wired lookup table can be connected to the digital control input of the radio-frequency device to generate a modified digital control input based on a predetermined function. This can have the effect that the adjusted transfer response of the analog output relative to the analog input and the modified digital control input is closer to the ideal transfer response than the unadjusted transfer response of the analog output relative to the analog input and the digital control input. The predetermined function can be defined by metallization connections within the integrated circuit device. | 03-07-2013 |

20090006394 | Systems and methods for validating an address - Systems, methods, and software determine whether a field of an input digital representation of information, such as the street name field in an address, is correct by quickly comparing the field to a list of valid choices for that field. The list of valid choices is generated based on information from the input digital representation, such as a character string. If an exact match is not found, a fuzzy match comparison determines the most closely matching valid choice. If a suitable fuzzy match is not found, then the input information is invalid. Otherwise, another field of the input information, such as the building number field of an address, is tested for validity. If the second field passes the validity check, then the fuzzy match (or exact match) for the field is valid. A fuzzy matching field may replace the input field, thereby correcting the input information. | 01-01-2009 |
