Publication number: 20260118410Abstract: Techniques for electrical characterization of a logical cell. A system can include a plurality of probes, control circuitry, bias circuitry, and machine-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations including landing the probes on a surface of an integrated circuit, including a plurality of electrically coupled transistors, the logical cell having been electrically isolated from one or more conductive structures of the integrated circuit. The operations can include applying one or more bias voltages to the logical cell via one or more of the probes, performing an operational test of the logical cell using the probes, and generating output data describing one or more logical states of the logical cell over at least a portion of the operational test.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2024Publication date: April 30, 2026Inventors: Weston Hearne, Thomas A. Daniel

Publication number: 20260038721Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide devices, systems, and techniques for generating a magnetic field pattern that includes a plurality of magnetic poles. In specific embodiments, a magnetic device is disclosed which generates a magnetic field pattern including two magnetic poles of the same polarity on both ends, or sides of the magnetic device, and a third magnetic pole of a different polarity from the other two magnetic poles, wherein the third magnetic pole is located inside the magnetic device and between the other two magnetic poles. Moreover, the magnetic device is configured with two openings located at the two transition boundaries/interfaces of the three-pole magnetic field. As such, the two transition boundaries become accessible to objects. In particular, when another magnet is inserted at an interface between two magnetic poles, the magnet will “register” right at the interface and hover over or be suspended at the opening of the magnetic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2025Publication date: February 5, 2026Inventors: Thomas A. DANIEL, Larry STAMBAUGH
