  • Patent number: 8931690
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for detection of a substance on the surface of an object are disclosed. An RFID receiver can communicate with an RFID device to determine a position of the RFID device and to initiate a transaction. When the RFID device enters a defined volume, an illuminator can be triggered, which illuminator illuminates the RFID device. Light property data for the RFID device can be collected by a sensor, and the light property data can be compared to light property information for one or several substances. If the light property data matches the light property information, then a substance can be identified as present on the surface of the object.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5701507
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing integrated circuits uses an architecture having multiple processors and multiple memories, such that there is at least first and second groups of processors and memories. The first group has at least a first processor and at least a first memory. The second group has at least a second processor and at least a second memory. Regardless of where the architecture is sliced, the integrated circuits have a majority of the same address and data pin-outs.
