Patents by Inventor Mohammad R. Madani

Mohammad R. Madani has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11741389
    Abstract: The method for obfuscating hardware partially imitates the neural network perceptron, obfuscating the hardware design. This method obfuscates the design functionality and immunes integrated circuits against Trojan insertion. This method can also be used to check for the existence of faults inside chips. This method resolves the concern related to security and reliability when outsourcing the manufacture of integrated circuits.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11664758
    Abstract: This invention comprises a panel or system of panels. Each panel comprises a top layer, which is comprised of tempered glass that is highly transparent to allow for maximum light wave transmission. These solar light waves are captured by the photovoltaic cell which comprises the second layer of the panel where this solar energy is converted into usable electrical energy. Vibrations experienced by the photopiezoelectric panel due to foot and lightweight vehicle traffic are absorbed by the PZT sheet layer, which is the third layer of the panel where they are converted into usable electrical energy. The fourth and final layer of the panel consists of the connector plate which serves as the hub and interconnection for gathering the generated electrical energies and transmitting them into the modular grid network to be consumed by various load devices, such as streetlights and other power-dependent city infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 11392746
    Abstract: The method for creating integrated circuits (IC) protects the design of a manufactured IC from being copied or counterfeited. This method protects the design of an IC chip from deliberate copying and counterfeiting by reverse engineering to gain access to the critical points in the IC chip and to siphon its functions and design. The method makes the copying, counterfeiting, and controlling by addition of Trojan circuits during manufacturing almost impossible task. It also allows chip designers to outsource the final bonding of the tiers without any fears that their design may get compromised.

  • Publication number: 20210262445
    Abstract: This invention is an auxiliary wind turbine featuring an aperture. In the preferred embodiment, the device itself is stationary, and mounts onto host objects that move such as wind turbine blades or vehicles. The Aperture Turbine may be oriented on the host object in a plurality of locations to enhance and maximize the intake of kinetic energy from the air moving around and through the Aperture Turbine when in use.

  • Publication number: 20210074655
    Abstract: A system and method for adding security to floating gate transistors (FGT), including applications for guarding integrated circuit (IC) chips against reverse engineering techniques, such as Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SCM). By adding a processing step to the conventional FGT through adding an oppositely doped implanted layer to the substrate, the FGT state cannot be easily detected with SCM reverse engineering.
