    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for generating a random number. In an embodiment, a first signal is received from a first cell including a first source follower transistor. Circuit logic detects for a pulse of the first signal and, in response to the pulse, generates a signal indicating detection of a first random telegraph noise event in the first source follower transistor. In another embodiment, a first count update is performed in response to the indicated detection of the first random telegraph noise event. The first count update is one basis for generation of a number corresponding to a plurality of random telegraph noise events.

    Abstract: A projector and associated method allows adaptor-less smartphone eye imaging. The projector includes at least two line generators for projecting a pattern onto a face of a subject, and a structure for positioning the line generators relative to a camera of the smartphone. The pattern facilitates positioning of the smartphone relative to the subject's eye such that an image of the eye captured by the camera is optimal for evaluation.

    Abstract: A back side illuminated image sensor includes a pixel array including semiconductor material, and image sensor circuitry disposed on a front side of the semiconductor material to control operation of the pixel array. A first pixel includes a first doped region disposed proximate to a back side of the semiconductor material and extends into the semiconductor material a first depth to reach the image sensor circuitry. A second pixel with a second doped region is disposed proximate to the back side of the semiconductor material and extends into the semiconductor material a second depth which is less than the first depth. A third doped region is disposed between the second doped region and the image sensor circuitry front side of the semiconductor material. The third doped region is electrically isolated from the first doped region and the second doped region.
