US Patent:

6092053, Jul 18, 2000

Filed:

Oct 7, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/167873

Inventors:

Brian Boesch - Oak Hill VA
Patrick Farrell - Falls Church VA
Elliott Light - Rockville MD
R. Scott Eisenberg - Bethesda MD

Assignee:

Cybercash, Inc. - Reston VA

International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

705 26

Abstract:

A system and method for merchant invoked electronic commerce allowing consumers to purchase items over a network and merchants to receive payment information relating to the purchases. The system includes a server having software which gathers the purchasing information from a consumer to complete a purchasing transaction over a network. The system has a consumer data structure that stores purchasing information for registered consumers. The software is able to access the consumer data structure and enter the consumer's purchasing information during subsequent purchases. Having the software obtain and enter the consumer's purchasing information, the consumer does not have to enter the same information every time they purchase an item over the network. In alternate embodiments, the same technology can be applied to other arenas where a user may have to enter the same repetitive information.

International Classification:

H01Q 324

US Classification:

342372

Abstract:

A T/R module including a multilevel, multichip microwave package having a plurality of gallium arsenide monolithic microwave integrated circuit chips (MMICs) implementing RF switching elements, a variable phase shifter, a plurality of RF amplifiers, and gain trim attenuators and which are located on a planar RF assembly. The module's architecture includes shared or common MMIC circuit elements during both transmit and receive operation modes thus reducing the number of MMICs required while at the same time preloading the supply voltage regulator-modulator which supplies DC power to all the MMIC circuits without degrading T/R module efficiency.
