Filed:

Jan 22, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/763073

Inventors:

Russell D. Slifer - Boise ID, US

International Classification:

A63F 13/02
A63F 13/10

US Classification:

463 39, 463 29, 434351

Abstract:

A video game system is described which includes a wireless game controller which stores information about the user of the controller. The controller includes a memory for storing the information. The information is communicated through wireless transmissions to a processor which can operate a video game. The personalized information can include, for example, the user's name, skill level, preferred characters, handicaps, limitations, and/or historical game scores. The game controllers can include a wireless receiver for receiving communications from the processor to update information stored in the controller. Several different communication operations and protocols are described, including storing a user identification code in the controller with corresponding detailed information stored in the processor, or storing detailed information in the hand held controller and down loading the information to the processor.

International Classification:

H01L 21/00

US Classification:

438109, 438281, 257659

Abstract:

Pass-through 3D interconnects and microelectronic dies and systems of stacked dies that include such interconnects to disable electrical connections are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system of stacked dies includes a first microelectronic die having a backside, an interconnect extending through the first die to the backside, an integrated circuit electrically coupled to the interconnect, and a first electrostatic discharge (ESD) device electrically isolated from the interconnect. A second microelectronic die has a front side coupled to the backside of the first die, a metal contact at the front side electrically coupled to the interconnect, and a second ESD device electrically coupled to the metal contact. In another embodiment, the first die further includes a substrate carrying the integrated circuit and the first ESD device, and the interconnect is positioned in the substrate to disable an electrical connection between the first ESD device and the interconnect.

Inventors:

- Edina MN, US
Russell D. Slifer - Boise ID, US

International Classification:

G06F 16/29
G06F 16/9537

Abstract:

A system is described that a geospatial coordinate component arranged to identify a set of geospatial coordinates from a geospatial dataset. A temporal coordinate component is arranged to identify a set of temporal coordinates from a temporal dataset. The system includes an article query component that is arranged to determine a set of articles based on the set of geospatial coordinates and the set of temporal coordinates. A presentation component is arranged to present a representation of a member of the set of articles. The geospatial coordinate component can receive a user selected geographical area and intersect the geospatial dataset with the geographical area.
