  • Publication number: 20210021364
    Abstract: A system and method for permuting known and unknown message bits before encoding to provide a beneficial rearrangement of bits. Such a method can improve distance properties in the resulting subcode. In various embodiments, the structure of a beneficial rearrangement is dependent on the parameters of how known and unknown bits are grouped and on the specific type of code being used. Given these two parameters, the message bits can be rearranged to more efficiently leverage any apriori knowledge.

  • Patent number: 10855287
    Abstract: Various embodiments include providing a MTJ-based LUT and adding a system that short circuits or causes dielectric layer breakdown of selected MTJ junctions to permanently finalize a desired logic state configuration of selected MTJs that is read out by the LUT. Additional embodiments disable dielectric layer breakdown or short circuit control circuits to prevent further alterations to MTJ that have not had their dielectric layers broken down or shorted out. A control system then alters reading out the MTJ-based LUT to sense original higher and lower resistance values of un-shorted/altered MTJs as a higher resistance state and a shorted or dielectric layer that has been broken down as a lower resistance state. This combines the flexibility of a multiple-time programmable LUT-based FPGA with the security and reliability of a one-time programmable LUT-based FPGA which has characteristics of a fixed logic non-programmable integrated circuit or application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

  • Patent number: 10822610
    Abstract: Methods for producing in a plant a complex transgenic trait locus comprising at least two altered target sequences in a genomic region of interest are disclosed. The methods involve the use of two or more double-strand-break-inducing agents, each of which can cause a double-strand break in a target sequence in the genomic region of interest which results in an alteration in the target sequence. Also disclosed are complex transgenic trait loci in plants. A complex transgenic trait locus comprises at least two altered target sequences that are genetically linked to a polynucleotide of interest. Plants, plant cells, plant parts, and seeds comprising one or more complex transgenic trait loci are also disclosed.
