A method, system, and computer program product provide the ability to recommend, to a first viewer, alternative programming during playback of a first media program. The first media program is played. A second media program of potential interest to the user is identified. During an advertising break, an interface is presented to the user that identifies the second media program. An indication of interest in the second media program is received from the user. If the indication indicates that the user is interested in the second media program, a reference to the second media program is saved as a viewer recommendation for later playback. If not interested, additional input may be received from the user indicating why the user is not interested.

A method, apparatus, system, article of manufacture, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to predict and utilize a user's attributes. A sample user behavior and a sample user attribute are collected. A model is trained based on the sample user behavior and sample user attribute. Using the model, a probability of a predicted user attribute based on the sample user behavior is predicted. Using the model and the probability, the predicted user attribute is fuzzily determined based on a real user behavior. The predicted user attribute is used to improve a user's experience.

Round-off error in fixed-point arithmetic is minimized by changing the magnitudes of two multipliers simultaneously. The dynamic range of an intermediate output is thus maximized to increase computation precision. A much smaller round-off error, caused by fixed-point arithmetic, thus results.

A redundant circuit that includes a combination of fuses and anti-fuses, and which may be used during various phases of the manufacturing process (e.g., during wafer test or final test) to replace a defective circuit. The redundant circuit includes (1) a replacement circuit (e.g., a redundant memory cell) that is configurable to replace a defective circuit, and (2) supporting circuitry for the replacement circuit. The support circuit is configurable to provide a control signal (e.g., to activate a word line) for the replacement circuit and further includes at least one fuse and at least one anti-fuse. The fuses or anti-fuses may be programmed to provide a programmed value (e.g., a programmed address) for the replacement circuit. The redundant circuit can be efficiently fabricated within a memory device, and may also be used for other circuits and applications.

A memory array architecture that supports block write operation and has many advantages over conventional memory array architectures. A memory array is partitioned into a number of (N) segments. Each segment includes at least one bit line. Each segment is associated with a local input/output (I/O) line that couples to zero or more bit lines within that segment. The bit lines are coupled to the local I/O line by controlling one or more column select lines associated with that segment. Each segment is also associated with a write driver that couples to the local I/O line. Each local I/O line has a length that is a portion of a length of the memory array. A block write operation is performed by concurrently driving one or more write drivers (up to N write drivers). Each write driver drives the bit lines coupled to the local I/O line associated with that write driver.

A precharge circuit is operable during a standby mode to drive a word line to a low voltage level and one or more (pairs of) bit lines to a standby voltage level. The precharge circuit comprises a driver for driving the on or more bit lines to the stand by voltage level. The precharge circuit also includes a control circuit connected to a control input of the driver which control circuit receives the standby signal. The control circuit outputs a varying enable signal to the driver for varying the drive of the bit lines by the driver. The precharge circuit can include a first current limiting driver for driving the bit lines to the standby voltage level, and second driver, for driving the bit lines to the standby voltage level. The second driver has a greater switching speed, and a higher current driving capacity, than the first current limiting driver. Tie control circuit enables the second driver for a certain period of time in response to detecting an indication of a beginning of the standby mode of the standby signal.

This invention is concerned with improved processes for reductive alkylation of glycopeptide antibiotics. The improvement residing in providing a source of copper which results in the initial production of a copper complex of the glycopeptide antibiotic. Reductive alkylation of this complex favors regioselective alkylation and increased yields. Copper complexes of the glycopeptide antibiotic starting materials and of the alkylated products are also part of the invention.

A memory device that includes decoding circuitry, a memory array, conditioning circuitry, and an output circuit. The decoding circuitry is configured to receive address information and generate a set of control signals. The memory array couples to the decoding circuitry and is configured to provide a data value in response to the set of control signals. The conditioning circuitry couples to the memory array and is configured to receive and condition the data value to provide a data bit. The output circuit couples to the conditioning circuitry and is configured to receive the data bit and provide an output bit. The output circuit is further configured to operate in one of a number of operating modes, with each operating mode corresponding to a different timing scheme. The output circuit can be implemented using a pair of latches coupled in series. The different operating modes can be achieved, for example, by selectively placing one of the latches in a bypass mode. A timing circuit can be used to provide the necessary clock signal(s) for the output circuit.

A memory device is provided with N>1 memory arrays. Each of the memory arrays comprises a plurality of memory cells arranged into rows and columns. N I/O lines are provided that can be simultaneously activated during a prefetch cycle. Each of the I/O lines is connected to the memory cells of a different one of the N memory arrays for transferring data signals to and from specific addressed ones of the memory cells of the respective memory array. N latches are also provided wherein each of the latches is connected to a different one of the I/O lines. Furthermore, a read/write line is connected to each of the latches and extends along an edge of each memory array. During a prefetch cycle, each of the N I/O lines simultaneously transfers a data signal thereon. Each of the N latches receives a different phase clock signal for synchronizing a transfer of N data signals, including one data signal of each of the latches. The data signals are transferred between the latches and the read/write line so that each data signal is transferred during a respective different n.sup.th interval of a transfer cycle, where 1.ltoreq.n.ltoreq.N. As such, N data signals, including one data signal originating at, or destined to, each of the N memory arrays, are transferred sequentially via the read/write line during the prefetch cycle.
