  • Optical interconnect in spin-based computation and communication systems
    Patent number: 9967038
    Abstract: Techniques are described for data transfer in spin-based systems where digital bit values are represented by magnetization states of magnetoresistive devices rather than voltages or currents. For data transmission, a spin-based signal is converted to an optical signal and transmitted via an optical transport. For data reception, the optical signal is received via the optical transport and converted back to a spin-based signal. Such data transfer may not require an intervening conversion of the spin-based signal to charge-based signal that relies on voltages or currents to represent digital bit values. In addition, techniques are described to use magnetoresistive devices to control the amount of current or voltage that is delivered, where the magnetization state of the magnetoresistive device is set by an optical signal.

  • High speed successive approximation analog-to-digital converter of two bits per cycle
    Patent number: 9966967
    Abstract: A high-speed successive approximation analog-to-digital converter of two bits per cycle, includes three switches, two capacitor arrays, three comparators, an encoding circuit, a first switch array corresponding to the first capacitor array, a second switch array corresponding to the second capacitor array, a shifting register and a digital correction unit. The analog-to-digital converter, featuring doubled speed, realizes a successive approximation process without any fault when a high-bit large capacitor is unsettled. Thus no redundancy bit capacitor is required to compensate for unsettled pre-stage large capacitor. By using the encoding circuit, a thermometer code is converted into a binary code effectively, and inherent errors of comparators are reduced by the randomization of three comparators.

  • External field—free magnetic biosensor
    Patent number: 9927431
    Abstract: A biosensor includes a magnetic structure having grooved surface to biologically bond magnetic labels to a biological substance within the grooves. The grooves are positioned within the magnetic structure so that stray magnetic fields from the magnetic structure magnetize magnetic labels within the groove. The magnetic labels may be magnetic nanoparticles or magnetic microbeads. The techniques may reduce or eliminate the usage of any external magnetic field generator, e.g., electromagnets or current lines.
