US Patent Issued to Crossbar on Jan. 28 for "Cell cycling to minimize resistive memory random number correlation" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 29 -- United States Patent no. 12,211,549, issued on Jan. 28, was assigned to Crossbar Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Cell cycling to minimize resistive memory random number correlation" was invented by Mehdi Asnaashari (Danville, Calif.) and Sung Hyun Jo (Sunnyvale, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Stochastic or near-stochastic physical characteristics of resistive switching devices are utilized for generating data distinct to those resistive switching devices. The distinct data can be utilized for applications related to electronic identification or random number generation. As one example, data generated from physical characteristics of resistive switching devices ...
