Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to electronic means for reading the content of a nanowire-crossbar memory. In one embodiment of the present invention, a microscale or sub-microscale signal line (402) is interconnected with one set of parallel nanowires (310-315) emanating from a nanowire-crossbar memory by configurable, nanowire-junction switches (404). The microscale or sub-microscale signal line (402) serves as a single-wire multiplexer, allowing the contents of any particular single-bit atorage element (316) within the nanowire-crossbar memory to be read.

Memristive elements are provided that include an active region disposed between a first electrode and a second electrode. The active region includes an switching layer of a first metal oxide and a conductive layer of a second metal oxide, where a metal ion of the first metal oxide differs from a metal ion of the second metal oxide. The memristive element exhibits a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic in the low resistance state based on the oxide hetero-junction between the first metal oxide and the second metal oxide. Multilayer structures that include the memristive elements also are provided.

Determination of a sensor device location in a sensor network is described. A system can include rotating optical beams (270) having a known location. Detectors (210) can be located with each of the rotating optical beams. The system can include a sensor device (280) placeable as part of the sensor network. A reflector (125, 285) can be near the sensor device and can reflect at least two optical beams back to the detectors associated with each of the respective optical beams. A triangulation module (235) can triangulate a position of the reflector, and thus the sensor, based on the reflected optical beams.

A method is provided for coating a surface (10) having features (12) thereon with a self-assembled monolayer (20) for aiding release of the surface during an imprinting procedure. The method comprises exposing the surface to a vapor of a mold release agent (120).
摘要:
A three dimensional multilayer circuit (600) includes a plurality of crossbar arrays (512) made up of intersecting crossbar segments (410, 420) and programmable crosspoint devices (514) interposed between the intersecting crossbar segments (410, 420). Shift pins (505, 510) are used to shift connection domains (430) of the intersecting crossbar segments (410, 420) between stacked crossbar arrays (512) such that the programmable crosspoint devices (514) are uniquely addressed. The shift pins (505, 510) make electrical connections between crossbar arrays (512) by passing vertically between crossbar segments (410, 510) in the first crossbar array (512) and crossbar segments in a second crossbar array. A method for transforming multilayer circuits is also described.
