  • Digital communication, programmable functioning and data transfer using modular, hinged processor elements
    Patent number: 5941714
    Abstract: Tiling processor elements facilitate manipulation of digital information and processing through user-defined relationship between the elements. Each element represents an independent computational entity with predefined properties and functionality, but the behavior of an arrangement of these elements depends on the arrangement itself-not just the characteristics of the individual devices. In this way, unique computational entities may be constructed based on, but not limited to, the capabilities of the individual devices. Rearrangement of the elements defines and alters the functionality of the resulting element network.
