  • Patent number: 10476701
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for high-security data transmission of a blockchain. First, a source node device broadcasts a data packet to at least one destination node device and at least two cooperative node devices in the blockchain. The data packet includes a random variable and a transmission data. The cooperative node devices further forward the data packet to the destination node device. When the number of data packets received by the destination node device is equal to the random variable, the cooperative node device sends a report signal to the source node device, and the source node device broadcasts a stop broadcasting request to the blockchain, then the other node devices stop forwarding data packets to the destination node device, and finally the destination node device compares the transmission data of the data packet and selects the data packet with the same transmission data packet to store.

  • Publication number: 20190329029
    Abstract: A flexible thin film metal oxide electrode fabrication methods and devices are provided and illustrated with thin film polyimide electrode formation and IrOx chemical bath deposition. Growth factors of the deposited film such as film thickness, deposition rate and quality of crystallites can be controlled by varying the solution pH, temperature and component concentrations of the bath. The methods allow for selective deposition of IrOx on a flexible substrate (e.g. polyimide electrode) where the IrOx will only coat onto an exposed metal area but not the entire device surface. This feature enables the bath process to coat the IrOx onto every individual electrode in one batch, and to ensure electrical isolation between channels. The ability to perform selective deposition, pads for external connections will not have IrOx coverage that would otherwise interfere with a soldering/bumping process.

  • Patent number: 10454436
    Abstract: A wireless transceiver includes: a switching amplifier having first, second and power ports; and a current provider. The current provider provides a current to the power port, and further provides an impedance to the power port such that an impedance of the switching amplifier at the second port matches an impedance of an antenna coupled to the second port. The switching amplifier simultaneously amplifies a transmit signal input received at the first port to generate an output signal at the second port for receipt by the antenna, and mixes a receive signal received at the second port from the antenna with the transmit signal input to generate, at the power port, another output signal having a frequency lower than that of the receive signal.
