US Patent Issued to Regents of the University of Minnesota on Dec. 9 for "Stochastic computing using logic-memory cells" (Minnesota Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,494,238, issued on Dec. 9, was assigned to Regents of the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis).

"Stochastic computing using logic-memory cells" was invented by Jian-Ping Wang (Minneapolis), Brandon Zink (Minneapolis) and Yang Lv (Minneapolis).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A circuit includes a first two-state device, a second two-state device and a third two-state device, each two-state device having a first resistance in a first state and a second resistance in a second state. First control elements are configured to apply a first voltage to the first two-state device to stochastically place the first two-state device in either the first...
