Abstract: The invention discloses a non-volatile memory cell based on a threshold switch and an operation method thereof, which belong to micro-nano electronics technology. The non-volatile memory cell includes a first metal electrode layer, a threshold switch layer, and a second metal electrode layer stacked in sequence. The threshold switch layer contains a chalcogenide semiconductor material, and the threshold voltage of the threshold switch layer is able to be switched between initial threshold voltage and high threshold voltage under the operation of an electric signal. The non-volatile memory cell realizes storage of information based on the threshold change controllable by the threshold switch. The advantages of such threshold switch lie in nanosecond-level switching speed, good scalability and easy three-dimensional stacking.

Abstract: A machine may be configured to generate one or more audio fingerprints of one or more segments of audio data. The machine may access audio data to be fingerprinted and divide the audio data into segments. For any given segment, the machine may generate a spectral representation from the segment; generate a vector from the spectral representation; generate an ordered set of permutations of the vector; generate an ordered set of numbers from the permutations of the vector; and generate a fingerprint of the segment of the audio data, which may be considered a sub-fingerprint of the audio data. In addition, the machine or a separate device may be configured to determine a likelihood that candidate audio data matches reference audio data.
