  • Analog hashing engines using physical dynamical systems
    Patent number: 11652485
    Abstract: An analog hashing system and method includes: an input port for accepting an input signal; a chaotic circuit including non-linear components and multiple chaotic attractors for generating an unpredictable output responsive to the input signal; a differential output port coupled to the chaotic circuit for producing an analog differential signal from the unpredictable output; and a clock circuit for producing a binary output, as a hash function, generated by the sign of the analog output in every clock cycle.
    Type: Grant

  • Circuits and devices based on enhanced spin Hall effect for efficient spin transfer torque
    Patent number: 10847197
    Abstract: Devices or circuits based on spin torque transfer (STT) and Spin Hall effect are disclosed by using a spin Hall effect (SHE) metal layer coupled to a magnetic free layer for various applications. The efficiency or strength of the STT effect based on this combination of SHE and STT can be enhanced by an interface modification between the SHE metal layer and the magnetic free layer or by modifying or engineering the SHE metal layer by doping the SHE metal with certain impurities or other means.
