Title: Logic gates using persistent spin helices
Inventor: SALIS GIAN R
IPC: H01L29/68
Filed: 2012-05-24
Abstract: A logic gate operates by the propagation, in a 2DEG, of persistent spin helices (PSHs, figure 1) between input electrode pairs 11,12 and output electrodes 41,42. The polarities of the PSHs launched from each input electrode pair depend on the polarities of the input pulses. The polarity of the resultant PSH at the output electrodes reflects the average of the polarities of the input pulses. Two-input OR and AND gates may be implemented, based on this majority logic function, by adding a third input electrode to launch a PSH of fixed polarity (C, figure 4).

Title: Communication method and system
Inventor: NASR MARCO
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 2011-05-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to communications and more particularly, to systems, methods and apparatuses for universal user-to-user communications. A communication system is described which uses a Universal Identification Number (UIN) that identifies each user on the system, encapsulating data that represent the user him or herself. Such data may include, the user's current physical geolocation on the globe; Current status (busy, reachable, not reachable); Current active endpoint to reach at and preferred method of reach; and an aggregation of all endpoints at which the user can be reached, and their geolocation. The described method and network system thereby can dynamically introduce, adapt, and communicate services (in essence personalize) to each user based on their current location and status. Thus, a user may communicate with another user efficiently without the need to know all of their endpoints or without the need to have multiple communication attempts on multiple devices.
