Abstract: An imaging sensor is disclosed, comprising: a set of at least two charge-coupled device, CCD, sub-arrays, wherein each sub-array comprises pixels arranged in columns and rows, and each pixel being arranged to accumulate an electric charge proportional to an intensity of light incident on the pixel; a time delay and integration, TDI, clocking circuitry for controlling and timing transfer of accumulated electric charges between rows of pixels in a column direction in order to integrate the accumulated electric charges in each column of pixels; wherein each CCD sub-array further comprises a readout row for converting the integrated electric charge of each column of pixels into voltage or current, wherein the readout row comprises transistors enabling readout of the signal by the readout block; and a readout block which is arranged to receive input from selected readout rows and convert the input into digital domain or convert the input to a combined representation of pixel values based on the set of CCD sub-arrays.

Abstract: A liquid electrochemical memory device is provided. In one aspect, the device includes a memory region for storing at least two bits, the memory region having a first volume; and a liquid electrolyte region fluidically connected to the memory region, the liquid electrolyte region having a second volume larger than the first volume. The device further includes a working electrode exposed to the memory region, and a counter electrode exposed to the liquid electrolyte region. The device also includes an electrolyte filling the memory region and the liquid electrolyte region, in physical contact with the working electrode and the counter electrode, the electrolyte including at least two conductive species. The device further includes a control unit for biasing the working electrode and the counter electrode.

Abstract: A memory device including at least one channel and a fluid including particles is provided. In one aspect, the channel includes a least some of the fluid. The memory device may further include an actuator configured to induce a movement of the particles in the channel; and a writing element configured to arrange the particles in a sequence, thereby yielding a sequence of particles in the channel. The particles may include first particles and second particles. The particles may be in a first state or a second state in the channel. In certain aspects, the channel is configured to preserve the sequence of the particles. The memory device may further include a reading element for detecting the sequence of the particles in the channel.
