Patent Licensing Information

In recent years there has been an acceleration in the development of new materials used in electronics design. Much of the focus has been on nanomaterials due to the trend of scale reduction predicted by Moore's Law. However, another area of interest is in reconfigurable materials which are capable of changing state based on an applied threshold voltage or current. So far the two main proposals for applications attempting to exploit such materials are non-volatile memory (RRAM) and some programmable logic designs but there are a variety of other application areas such as signal processing, pattern recognition, control systems, and programmable waveform circuitry which may also benefit by more adaptive designs using these materials. The development of "memristor" material by HP has drawn increased attention to the potential of such applications. In addition, as described in my paper "Logicless Computational Architectures with Nanoscale Crossbar Arrays" the use of resistance switching materials in crossbar arrays connected to analog processing circuitry offers an alternative computational paradigm with advantages to large number computation and parallel processing capabilities.

Over the past few years I have developed a variety of circuit designs based on the exploitation of resistance switching materials for signal processing, pattern recognition, control systems, arithmetic processing, and programmable waveforms. For those interested in my technology I am currently offering a licensing deal covering all of my patents based on resistance switching materials used in the noted applications. As an incentive to attract companies willing to invest at this early stage the license deal includes a 4% running royalty that can optionally be converted to a one-time paid-up license. Thus if a product is developed based on my patents which is seen to be particularly valuable the license may be bought out without further royalty payments. However, this option will only be available to the first few companies interested in development and commercialization of the technology.
