Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention teach an advantageous means of conducting and controlling multimedia communication. Real-world communication involving sight, sound and body language is fully supported, without requiring that the user wear or touch any special apparatus. A novel Device-Area-Network (DAN) method is introduced to allow devices contained in compatible apparatus external to the Immersive Multimedia Terminal (IMT) to be discovered and fused to the devices within the IMT. Said method allows seamless integration of cellphones, laptops and other compatible apparatus so that they can use the IMT as a high-performance terminal. Said method also allows the IMT to fully integrate resources that exist in said external compatible apparatus. Examples of said resources are microphones, environmental sensors, disk drives, flash memory, cameras, and wired or wireless communication links.

Abstract: A new and improved memory cell is provided which comprises a word line, a pair of bit lines, a pair of current sources each having a first side coupled to a corresponding one of the bit lines; and a bistable circuit means operatively coupled to the word line and to another side of each of the current sources, whereby the bistable circuit means assumes one stable state upon the application of a voltage on one bit line, and assumes another stable state upon the application of a voltage on the other bit line.In addition, several embodiments of semiconductor structures are provided for the new and improved memory cell.
