Latest Patents
One of Xi C Chen's latest patents is titled "Unsupervised framework to monitor lake dynamics." This invention presents a method for reducing processing time when assigning geographic areas to land cover labels using satellite sensor values. The processor receives a feature value for each pixel in a time series of frames of satellite sensor values, with each frame covering the same geographic location. For each sub-area of the geographic location, the sub-area is assigned to one of at least three land cover labels. The processor determines a fraction function for a first sub-area assigned to a first land cover label, allowing for reassignment of sub-areas based on these functions.
Another notable patent is "Exchange-assisted spin transfer torque switching." This invention focuses on techniques for reducing the amount of switching current utilized within a magnetic storage device, such as MRAM. The apparatus includes a fixed magnetic layer providing a fixed direction of magnetization, an exchange-coupled magnetic multi-layer structure, and a non-magnetic layer placed between them. The exchange coupling between the recording and assisting layers is operable to switch the magnetization direction of the recording layer, enhancing the efficiency of magnetic storage devices.
