-
Publication number: 20170087861Abstract: Electronic systems, such as printing systems, often use components that have integral memory. The integral memory can be used to store information about the component. In some printing systems this memory includes a portion that stores a value indicative of a print yield. Disclosed is a method and system for allowing the memory to have data indicative of an increased print yield.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2016Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: William Eli Thacker, Scott M. Babish
-
Publication number: 20170062425Abstract: It is desirable to design and manufacture electronic chips that are resistant to modern reverse engineering techniques. Disclosed is a method and device that allows for the design of chips that are difficult to reverse engineer using modern teardown techniques. The disclosed device uses devices having the same geometry but different voltage levels to create different logic devices. Alternatively, the disclosed uses devices having different geometries and the same operating characteristics. Also disclosed is a method of designing a chip using these devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventor: William Eli Thacker
