    摘要: Reconfigurable logic devices and methods of programming the devices are disclosed. The logic device includes a look-up table (LUT) and at least one storage element configured for sampling LUT output signals. The LUT comprises a plurality of input signals, an array of programmable impedance devices operably coupled to the input signals, and the LUT output signals. Each programmable impedance device in the array includes a first electrode operably coupled to one of the input signal, a second electrode disposed to form a junction wherein the second electrode at least partially overlaps the first electrode, and a programmable material disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The programmable material operably couples the first electrode and the second electrode such that each programmable impedance device exhibits a non-volatile programmable impedance. The array may be configured as a one-dimensional or two-dimensional array.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to implementation and use of logic-state-storing, impedance-encoded nanoscale, impedance-encoded latches that store logic values as impedance states within nanoscale electronic circuits that employ impedance-driven logic. In certain of these embodiments, use of nanoscale, impedance-encoded latches together with nanoscale electronic circuits that employ impedance-driven logic avoids cumulative degradation of voltage margins along a cascaded series of logic circuits and provides for temporary storage of intermediate logic values, allowing for practical interconnection of nanowire-crossbar-implemented logic circuits through nanoscale, impedance-encoded latches to other nanowire-crossbar-implemented logic circuits in order to implement complex, nanoscale-logic-circuit pipelines, nanoscale-logic-circuit-based state machines, and other complex logic devices with various different interconnection topologies and corresponding functionalities.

    摘要: A sensor includes traps that are adjacent to a waveguide and capable of holding a contaminant for an interaction with an evanescent field surrounding the waveguide. When held in a trap, a particle of the contaminant, which may be an atom, a molecule, a virus, or a microbe, scatters light from the waveguide, and the scattered light can be measured to detect the presence or concentration of the contaminant. Holding of the particles permits sensing of the contaminant in a gas where movement of the particles might otherwise be too fast to permit measurement of the interaction with the evanescent field. The waveguide, a lighting system for the waveguide, a photosensor, and a communications interface can all be fabricated on a semiconductor die to permit fabrication of an autonomous nanosensor capable of suspension in the air or a gas being sensed.

    摘要: A demultiplexer for a two-dimensional array of a plurality of nanometer-scale switches (molecular wire crossbar network) is disclosed. Each switch comprises a pair of crossed wires which form a junction where one wire crosses another and at least one connector species connecting said pair of crossed wires in said junction. The connector species comprises a bi-stable molecule. The demultiplexer comprises a plurality of address lines accessed by a first set of wires in the two-dimensional array by randomly forming contacts between each wire in the first set of wires to at least one of the address lines. The first set of wires crosses a second set of wires to form the junctions. The demultiplexer solves both the problems of data input and output to a molecular electronic system and also bridges the size gap between CMOS and molecules with an architecture that can scale up to extraordinarily large numbers of molecular devices. Further, the demultiplexer is very defect tolerant, and can work despite a large number of defects in the system.

    摘要: This invention discloses a processing structure, and related method, for performing a selected data processing function by means of multiple processing modules that are selected to perform the selected function when appropriately connected together. The modules are removably connected to a common structure, such as a circuit board, which has associated with it a crossbar switch for providing intermodule data connections necessary for performing the selected function, and a synchronization unit for providing control signals to the modules to keep them in appropriate synchronism for performing the selected function. Convenient reconfiguration of the structure is effected by conditioning the crossbar switch and the synchronization unit as necessary to perform the different function.
