  • Publication number: 20230003684
    Abstract: A carbon nanotube (CNT) ion-selective field effect transistor (IS-FET) integrated device is used to detect nitrate ion in water. The device is operated as an IS-FET sensor, holding the measured potential between the drain electrode and an external reference electrode constant with a potentiometric circuit. Transduction occurs by changes in the effective CNT film gate potential with changes in the phase boundary potential of an ion-selective membrane (ISM) film. Moreover, the nitrate ISM film makes the device highly selective towards nitrate sensing. This printable IS-FET nitrate sensor enables real-time and high-resolution measurements and recording of nitrate ion in water at low cost.

  • Patent number: 10964362
    Abstract: Disclosed is a three-port static random access memory (3P-SRAM) that performs XNOR operations. The cell has a write port and first and second read ports. Read operations are enabled through either the first read port using a first read wordline and a common read bitline or the second read port using a second read wordline and the common read bitline. Read wordline activation is controlled such that only one read wordline is activated (i.e., receives a read pulse) at a time. As a result, a read operation through either read port effectively accomplishes an XNOR operation. Also disclosed is a memory array, which incorporates such cells and which performs XNOR-bitcount-compare functions. Since XNOR-bitcount-compare functions are used in XNOR-NET type binary neural networks (BNNs), the memory array can be employed for implementing such a BNN designed for improved performance, scalability, and manufacturability. Also disclosed is an in-memory computing method.

  • Publication number: 20210075940
    Abstract: This application provides example camera assemblies and example assembly methods. One example method includes plastic-packaging a surface mount electronic component and an image sensor to form a target plastic-packaged module, where the target plastic-packaged module includes an active surface, and where a solder end of the surface mount electronic component and a solder end of the image sensor are exposed on the active surface. A redistribution layer (RDL) can then be prepared and the RDL can then be drilled to form a through-hole, where the through-hole is opposite to a photosensitive area of the image sensor, where the RDL includes a dielectric layer and metal wiring disposed at the dielectric layer. The metal wiring exposed on the first surface of the RDL can then be connected to a solder end on the active surface of the target plastic-packaged module.
