A promotion server may generate the promotion campaigns based on input from a merchant. The input may include a request to generate the promotion campaign, a merchant preference, or other information shared between the merchant and the promotion server. The promotion campaign may include promotions, such as coupons, discounts, or the like, to encourage transactions with a merchant. The promotions may be generated based on merchant specified criteria, a merchant transaction history, customer preferences, a customer transaction history, and/or other information processed by the promotion server. The promotions of the promotion campaign may be distributed via one or more channels, such as electronic mail, website publication, receipts, etc. Each promotion of the promotion campaign may be linked to a particular customer, thereby limiting the number of times a particular customer can take advantage of the promotion campaign.

Transaction-based promotion campaign

Techniques and arrangements for generating, distributing and managing promotion campaigns are described. A promotion server may generate the promotion campaigns based on input from a merchant. The input may include a request to generate the promotion campaign, a merchant preference, or other information shared between the merchant and the promotion server. The promotion campaign may include promotions, such as coupons, discounts, or the like, to encourage transactions with a merchant. The promotions may be generated based on merchant specified criteria, a merchant transaction history, customer preferences, a customer transaction history, and/or other information processed by the promotion server. The promotions of the promotion campaign may be distributed via one or more channels, such as electronic mail, web site publication, receipts, etc. Each promotion of the promotion campaign may be linked to a particular customer, thereby limiting the number of times a particular customer can take advantage of the promotion campaign.

One or more control lines other than those used to activate a non-volatile memory cell may be used to sense a data value of the cell. For example, an apparatus may include a selection circuit that selects, based on an address corresponding to a non-volatile memory cell included an array of non-volatile memory cells, a word line coupled to the non-volatile memory cells to activate the non-volatile memory cell. An amplifier circuit may sense a data value stored in the non-volatile memory cell based on a sense signal having a voltage level based on voltage levels of one or more other word lines of the array of non-volatile memory cells. In another example, a data value of a non-volatile memory cell coupled to a word line may be sensed based on the voltage levels of one or more dummy sense lines within the array.

Sensing memory cells using array control lines

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for error reducing matrix generation. An apparatus includes a test circuit that performs a test on a set of memory cells. An apparatus includes a masking circuit that determines a masking array based on a test performed on a set of memory cells. An apparatus includes a decoding circuit that decodes encoded data from a set of memory cells based on a masking array.

Error reducing matrix generation

When applying a sensing voltage at one end of a word line of a non-volatile memory circuit, an initial kick, where the voltage is initially raised somewhat above its final desired voltage, is used. Using on-chip circuitry for the determination of the RC time constant of the word lines allows for this kick to be trimmed to the specifics of the circuit. To further improve settling times for read operations is NAND type architectures, when raising the voltage to the desired read level on a selected word line, a reverse kick, where the non-selected word line's voltage is dropped briefly, can be applied to neighboring non-selected word lines.

A protective device for hoofed and shod animals fabricated of a durable and flexible material is presented. The protective device includes a base and a wall , with the wall designed to enclose a hoof of a bare or shod animal such as a horse or cow. The protective device includes a means for size adjustment such as a sizing opening in combination with a plurality of tread grooves , which assists in the adjustment of the size and shape of the hoof to fit a variety of hoofs. The protective device preferably includes a shear-relief portion formed such that the front of a hoof has minimal contact with the device . Ease of installation, decreased impact, and improved traction are all benefits provided by the protective device disclosed.

An improved impact tool head having separate and distinct pressing and cutting blades integrally molded therein. The impact tool head allows for independent and optimal material and dimensional design of the pressing blades and the cutting blades to minimize impact damage to a terminal block and to ensure longer useful tool life. Also, through the use of multiple components, the impact tool head is readily adaptable to a wide variety of different terminal block configurations. Furthermore, sets of pressing blades and sets of cutting blades may be formed with each set comprising a continuous piece of material in order to simplify manufacturing and to ensure uniformity of production. Additionally, the integral molded structure is designed to allow post-molding sharpening of the cutting blades in order to ensure blade uniformity to further improve blade durability.
