Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 58:
59. A system for storing data bidirectionally and in three different states, comprising;
(a) a plurality of tristate bidirectional memory cells (“cells”), each cell comprising one or more word lines and two bit lines;
(b) a first circuit connected to the cells and configured to control the cells;
(c) one or more components in each cell for storing information electrically therein, the one or more components comprising:
a first transistor and either an electrostatic storage device or a capacitor;
multiple second transistors; or
an electromagnetic storage device or medium;

(d) a second circuit configured to write information to each cell bidirectionally by applying a signal to the one or more word lines and applying a voltage differential between the two bit lines of so as to cause the cell to assume:
a first information-representing state when charged with a positive polarity,
a second information-representing state when maintaining no charge, and
a third information-representing state when charged with a negative polarity;

(e) a third circuit connected to the cells and configured to read the information stored in the cells;
(f) a fourth circuit connected to the cells and configured to interpret a charge state and a polarity of each cell; and
(g) a fifth circuit connected to the cells and configured to communicate the information stored in each cell.
