  • Publication number: 20220075554
    Abstract: A system and method for bidirectionally based electrical information storage, processing and communication. Bidirectional memory (tristate) offers the capability to store and interpret multiple bits (Shannon's) of information per memory cell, for structures such as dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), and read-only memory (ROM), and communication circuits, for operation, rather than traditional memory able to store a single “bit” (Shannon) of information per cell. Where, instead of traditional memory cells capable of two possible states (binary digit) and a single defined bit (1 Shannon), bidirectional memory is capable of three states (tristate), where the third information representing state can be a specifically defined state capable of representing multiple bits (multiple Shannon's) for each individual cell, which may be defined to represent a specific sequence of bits (sequence of Shannon's).

  • Patent number: 11026277
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for assistive listening that uses sound waves for devices pairing is described herein. An assistive listening system may use sound waves to pair mobile devices acting as assistive listening devices with stationary devices. To establish a communication link (e.g., pair the two devices), a mobile device may exchange a plurality of signals over a plurality of sound waves with a stationary device. The plurality of sound waves may operate in a set of frequencies above a frequency range detectable by a human ear (e.g., above 20 kHz). After the pairing procedure over the sound waves is complete, the assistive listening system may use electromagnetic waves to pair the mobile devices with the stationary devices over a wireless access technology, such as Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT).

  • Patent number: 10712057
    Abstract: A method for generating electricity and cold and a device for realizing same, consists in a closed absorption cycle in which a working body is a mixture of a low-boiling (refrigerant) component and a high-boiling (absorbent) component. The method involves evaporating a strong solution in a steam generator, thus forming a refrigerant vapor and a weak solution, expanding the refrigerant vapor in a turbine, thus producing work, and, after the turbine, absorbing spent vapor in an absorber, forming a strong solution. A distinguishing feature of the method consists in changing the concentration of a strong solution using two stages, including not only evaporation but also filtration. The proposed method and device allow for significantly increasing the efficiency of systems for generating electricity relative to analogous known methods.

  • Patent number: 10259706
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system for producing hydrogen and oxygen from water includes a target, an oxygen selective membrane, a cooling chamber, and a hydrogen selective membrane. The target heats to at least a temperature that thermally decomposes water, receives water vapor, heats the received water vapor to the temperature that thermally decomposes water to form a heated vapor, and passes the heated vapor to an oxygen selective membrane. The oxygen selective membrane separates, at or near the temperature that thermally decomposes water, oxygen from the heated vapor to form a hydrogen-rich vapor. The cooling chamber cools the hydrogen-rich vapor to at least a specified temperature. The hydrogen selective membrane separates hydrogen in the hydrogen-rich vapor to leave substantially water vapor.
