Patents by Inventor Alexandre Ney

Alexandre Ney 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: 8644055
    Abstract: This application describes embodiments of MRAM cells that utilize a PMOS transistor as an access transistor. The MRAM cells are configured to mitigate the effects of applying asymmetric current loads to transition a Magnetic-Tunnel Junction of the MRAM cell between magnetoresistive states.
    Type: Grant
