Abstract:
Monolithic multi-dimensional integrated circuits and memory architecture are provided. Exemplary integrated circuits comprise an electronic board having a first side and a second side, a multi-dimensional electronic package having multiple planes, and one or more semiconductor wafers mounted on the first side and the second side of the electronic board and on the multiple planes of the electronic package. Exemplary monolithic multi-dimensional memory architecture comprises one or more tiers, one or more monolithic inter- tier vias spanning the one or more tiers, at least one multiplexer disposed in one of the tiers, and control logic determining whether memory cells are active and which memory cells are active and controlling usage of the memory cells based on such determination. Each tier has a memory cell, and the inter-tier vias act as crossbars in multiple directions. The multiplexer is communicatively coupled to the memory cell in the respective tier. In exemplary embodiments, the one or more semiconductor wafers include one or more solar cells. The solar cells may comprise MEMS and/or on-chip solar cells.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for generating digital currencies and converting electronic transmissions from a communication device into digital currency are provided. A communication device comprises an electronic circuit including a controller, a secured basic input/output (BIOS) system, a memory unit, a radio unit, and an antenna. The radio unit and the antenna generate periodic transmissions. The communication device communicates with a network comprising a blockchain. The electronic circuit counts the periodic transmissions and creates a digital coin when a pre-determined number of transmissions is generated. Transmission data corresponding to the digital coin are encrypted and stored in the blockchain. A user can use the digital coin to purchase goods or services or to exchange with another currency. The communication device may be a personal computing device or a tracking device for global tracking of objects wherein an electronic circuit is embedded within a patch package comprised of a flexible material.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of mobile database management and sharing are provided which include at least one mobile database and a first electronic circuit in communication with the mobile database. The system segments the mobile database into a plurality of database segments and indexes the plurality of database segments. The system sends one or more of the plurality of database segments to a second electronic circuit over a private secured communication protocol. One or both of the first and second electronic circuit may be housed within one or more mobile devices. Disclosed systems and methods include processing a database sharing request received from at least one mobile device wherein the database sharing request requests sharing of one or more of the plurality of database segments. A mobile device containing a database management and sharing system is also provided which includes a shared mobile database and one or more proxy entities related to the shared mobile database. At least some of the plurality of database segments are sent via the one or more proxy entities to one or more separate mobile devices and stored in the mobile device and the one or more separate mobile devices.
Abstract:
A tracking device for global tracking of objects is provided including a patch package comprised of a flexible material and an electronic circuit embedded within the patch package. The electronic circuit includes a controller, a secured basic input/output (BIOS) system, a memory unit, a radio unit, and an antenna. The radio unit and the antenna transmit the location of the tracking device. The antenna may be a wire antenna or a ball antenna. The flexible material may be sticky such that the tracking device may be affixed to an object. The electronic circuit may also include an affix sensor configured to determine whether the tracking device is affixed to and removed from an object. Methods of tracking objects using tracking device are also provided in which the tracking device is affixed to an object and a transmission is received from the electronic circuit providing location information of the tracking device.
