ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,361,267, issued on July 15, was assigned to Industry-University Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University (Seoul, South Korea).

"Operation method of neural network element using spin-orbit torque" was invented by Jin Pyo Hong (Seoul, South Korea) and Seung Mo Yang (Seoul, South Korea).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed is an operation method of a neural network element using a Hall voltage. The neural network element has a hole pattern portion, and the hole pattern portion has a cross shape. When a pulse current is applied, horizontal magnetic anisotropy is formed in a ferromagnetic layer by means of spin-orbit torque, and when an e...
