Inwook Kong 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: 9369132
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for data tag control for quantum dot cellular automata (QCA). An example method includes receiving data, associating a data tag with the data, communicating the data tag along a first wire-like element to a local tag decoder, reading instructions from the data tag using the local tag decoder, communicating the instructions to a processing element, communicating the data along a second wire-like element to the processing element, and processing the data with the processing element according to the instructions. A length of the first wire-like elements and a length of the second wire-like element are approximately the same such that communication of the instructions and the data to the processing element are synchronized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2016
    Assignee: The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System

  • Patent number: 8407274
    Abstract: Techniques are generally described that include methods, devices, systems and/or apparatus for dividing a numerator by a denominator. Some example methods may include selecting a first numerical factor stored in an electronic storage media. The first numerical factor may be multiplied by a numerator at least in part using a first logic circuit configured to perform multiplication. The first numerical factor may also be multiplied by a denominator. A second numerical factor may be calculated based, at least in part, on an approximation of a square of the difference between unity and the product of the first numerical factor and the denominator. The second numerical factor may be multiplied by the product of the numerator and the first numerical factor at least in part using the first logic circuit, to generate an approximation of a quotient of the numerator and the denominator.
