  • Patent number: 11480695
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of using one or more memristors as a radiation sensor are enabled. A memristor can be attractive as a sensor due to its passive low power characteristics. Medical and environment monitoring are contemplated use cases. Sensing radiation as part of a security system (at an airport for example) and screening food for radiation exposure are also possible uses. The memristor as a radiation sensor may possibly provide an inexpensive and easy alternative to personal thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD). Memristor devices with high current and low power operation may be attached with wearable plastic substrates. An example device includes two metal strips with a 50 ?m thick layer of TiO2 memristor material. The device may be made large relative to traditional memristors which are nanometers in scale but its increased thickness can significantly increase the probability of radiation interaction with the memristor material.

  • Publication number: 20210384425
    Abstract: There is provided a planar graphene oxide (GO)-based device comprising of multiple resistance state elements in response to an applied voltage and wherein the multiple resistance state elements mimic neural synapse behaviour. The device has multiple application potentials including but not limited to non-volatile electronic memory, sensors, computing for Artificial intelligence (AI) and security. Also disclosed is method of manufacturing a memristor microdevice comprising the steps of patterning metal layer and graphene oxide or reduced graphene oxide thin films on different substrates and producing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) thin film through reduction of the graphene oxide layer. Fabricating thin films of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide in the microdevice from an aqueous solution of graphene oxide, results in making the process simple, cost effective, and suitable for mass production of the microdevice.

  • Publication number: 20210116410
    Abstract: A glucose sensor includes an insulating metal oxide layer and at least one pair of metallic electrodes arranged on the insulating metal oxide layer and separated by a gap containing the metal oxide layer. In operation, a probe including a voltage supply and current sensor can provide a voltage difference across the first and second metallic electrodes while a sample is present across the gap between the electrodes. A measured current between the first and second metallic electrodes when the voltage difference is provided can be correlated to a glucose level of the sample.
