Abstract: Various implementations provide systems and methods for writing data to memory bit cells. An example implementation includes a write circuit that couples both a bitline and a complementary bitline to power (VDD) by positive-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistors. By using PMOS transistors instead of NMOS transistors at the applicable nodes, such implementations may avoid a voltage drop between VDD and the bitlines, thereby allowing the bitlines to reach a substantially full VDD voltage level when appropriate. Additionally, various implementations avoid dynamic nodes that share charge across NMOS transistors, thereby allowing a given bitline to reach a substantially full VDD voltage level when appropriate. Accordingly, some implementations may experience higher levels of writability and static noise margin than other implementations.

Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring one or more properties of a soft material employ air transmitted ultrasound that is reflected from the soft material to generate a mechanical wave in the soft material. A method of measuring one or more properties of a soft material includes transmitting ultrasound through air to an interface boundary between the soft material and air. Force is applied to the soft material by reflecting the ultrasound from the soft material. A mechanical wave is generated in the soft material as a result of the force applied to the soft material. Propagation of the mechanical wave in the soft material is measured with an imaging system. One or more properties of the soft material is determined based on the measured propagation of the mechanical wave in the soft material.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method comprising various procedures are provided for managing a transfer database. The method comprises creating in a memory, using a processor, a data object record in an object database. An asset is defined comprising an ownership transfer attribute comprising information identifying an original and transferee owner of the asset. The ownership transfer attribute also comprises a transfer condition attribute specifying a condition under which an ownership transfer of the asset is to occur, as well as a third-party benefit attribute comprising information identifying a third-party who is associated with the asset and a third-party value. The method facilitates engagement of the asset in a marketplace in which the asset may generate an asset revenue stream. The method further facilitates payment of a determined third-party amount of the asset revenue stream based on the third-party value to the third-party.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and related method are provided for operating a digital inventory system. The method comprises receiving, from an imaging device, an image comprising an object and performing object recognition on the image to determine an object type of the object. The method further comprises determining when the object is to be added to an inventory database based on inventory rules stored in a memory of the digital inventory system. When these rules indicate that the object is to be added, the object is added to the inventory database. The method determines a value of the inventory object based on valuation information related to other objects of a same or similar object type. The value is associated with the inventory object. The inventory object is displayed along with its value on a computer display.
