Abstract: A multiple responsive effect heat transfer label includes a carrier, and first and second responsive effect design layers. The first responsive effect design layer is positioned on the carrier and the second responsive effect design layer is positioned on the first responsive effect design layer. The first responsive effect design layer is formulated from an ink that changes color when subjected to a first environmental stimulus and the second responsive effect design layer is formulated from an ink that changes color when subjected to a second environmental stimulus different from the first environmental stimulus. The color change of the first responsive design layer is independent of the color change of the second responsive design layer.

Abstract: A reconfigurable element based on nonlinear (chaotic) dynamics is adapted to implement the three different multivibrator configurations. A nonlinear dynamical system, under parameter modulating control, operates as a tunable oscillator with different dynamical regimes which in turn provide the different multivibrator configurations (monostable, astable, and bistable). The reconfigurable multivibrator is realized as a tunable circuit which includes an input stage for receiving at least one input voltage signal and an output stage that produces a digital two-level electric output signal. The all-in-one reconfigurable multivibrator device consisting of a nonlinear oscillator circuit electrically coupled to the input/output circuitry is used in at least, but not limited to three basic applications, namely, an irregular width pulse generator, a rising flank trigger and a full RS flip-flop device.

Abstract: A dynamically reconfigurable linear core logic gate is a device that allows logical outputs dependent upon configurable parameters set within device. The device is comprised of three blocks: The first block receives at least one input signal and determines whether the signal or signals are low or high in comparison with a threshold reference signal. The second block sums the logic signals of the first block with an offset signal. The third block determines if the sum realized in the second block is a low or high by checking whether the sum falls within a predetermined interval.
