Patent number: 11630863Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems for encoding data as DNA are provided. An encoder device can include circuitry to encode a data file having a bit sequence encoding data and to generate a virtual DNA (VDNA) sequence of virtual nucleotide bases (Vnb) that reversibly encodes the bit sequence of the data file, divide the VDNA sequence into a plurality of VDNA fragments, associate each VDNA fragment with an archive library sequence (Arc_SEQ), and generate a read instruction (READ) sequence of differences between each VDNA fragment and each associated Arc_SEQ including sufficient instruction to facilitate regeneration of each VDNA fragment from each associated Arc_SEQ. A codeword sequence (Code_SEQ) is additionally generated for each VDNA fragment that includes a codename identifying the associated Arc_SEQ, the READ sequence associated with the VDNA fragment, and an index sequence (Idx_SEQ) including an index mapping of the VDNA fragment in the VDNA sequence.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Xing Su, Kai Wu, Noureddine Tayebi, Grace Credo

Patent number: 5338415Abstract: An n-type silicon (Si) wafer is galvanostatically etched in a hydrofluoric acid (HF)-containing solution while being illuminated with a 300 watt tungsten light source to form porous silicon with luminescent properties. Photoluminescence of the porous silicon is monitored using a short wavelength visible or ultraviolet light source and a monochromator/CCD detector assembly. Upon exposure to organic solvents, the photoluminescence is quenched. Within seconds of removal of the solvent, the original intensity is recovered and further exposure of the porous silicon to organic solvents will again result in quenching of the luminescence.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1992Date of Patent: August 16, 1994Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Michael J.
