A real-time financial search engine retrieves financial updates in real-time. A condensation memory in the real-time financial search engine stores financial data in a compacted space that allows computation of a smaller set of numbers. Real-time feed is converted into a two-dimensional (X, Y) location code for placement on a linear location code array of a security symbol. A single number of a location code efficiently represents (time, price) or (time, volume) in aD coordinate plane for real-time search of financial data.

Real-time financial search engine and method

A method of booting a portable computing device or a personal digital assistant (PDA) is described. In one embodiment, the PDA comprises a boot ROM, a RAM, and a connector for connecting to an external floppy disk drive (FDD). Operating system software and application software for the PDA is stored on a disk in FDD. To boot the PDA, the PDA is connected to the external FDD, then powered up. The PDA is hardwired to begin executing code from the boot ROM, which contains a program to transfer code from the FDD to the RAM, then jump to an entry point in the newly loaded code in the RAM. The PDA is then disconnected from the FDD. To configure the PDA with different operating system and/or different application software, the FDD is loaded with a disk storing this different software and the boot process is repeated. Thus, the PDA can be configured to support any number of different operating systems and any number of different applications despite having a limited capacity of RAM.

Method and apparatus for booting a portable computing device

A system and method for controlling user access to stored content and interconnections to various sites accessible through a publicly accessible network. In one embodiment, the system includes a computer having a microphone to receive analog voice audio. The voice audio is filtered and digitized to produce a digital voice pattern. The digital voice pattern is compared to a master digital voice pattern. If successful, the amount of access afforded to a requesting user is determined based on the priority level of master digital voice pattern.
