Infinit D Assigned Two Patents

3D magnetic memory device at 100TB per square-inch density

For electronic devices such as the computer or even the simple calculator, memory plays an important role.

It functions as a workspace that determines the size and number of applications that can be run and how much data can be processed. Infinit D Corp. is introducing a new 3-D Magnetic Memory Device that will allow users the opportunity to manipulate data using the entire recording medium so compelling.

This new, patented technology will allow applications that are in the 100TB per square-inch data density range; a density drastically exceeding theoretical capabilities of 2D memory technologies such as magnetic hard-drives, CDs, DVDs, and flash memory technology. The main benefit to end-users is the ability to store much more information in a finite space than ever before. Memory technologies like these will continue to revolutionize computing, particularly with respect to portable devices.

The era of big data is part of what is driving the demand for technology like this.

Big data is a broad term for data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate. Challenges include analysis, capture, data-curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, querying and information privacy. Data like this is of limited if any use when the space available to store and analyze it is not offered. The new memory device will make storage and analysis both possible.

Infinit D is an intellectual property commercializing venture. The firm develops and commercializes the results of academic research.

Its goal is to move unique technologies from its current status to a point where it has much higher value. Itl is the foundation of every subsequent technology commercialization project.

The 3-D Magnetic Memory Device has two patents to produce the next generation of high capacity storage devices to meet future needs, United States Patent No.: (1) U.S. 7,969,775 B2; and (2) United States Patent No.: U.S. 7,706,179 B2.

This patented technology provides for faster data transmission rates by integrating the non-volatility of magnetic media with parallel data recording and retrieval. The three dimensional nature of this recording technology allows for a much higher super-paramagnetic limit than that of 2D magnetic recording systems. Furthermore, due to the fact that each cell in a 3D magnetic recording arrangement does not have to be in the nano-scale range, sophisticated and expensive nano-fabrication tools are not necessary for fabrication.

A possible materialization of this 3D memory technology is a magnetic memory device the size of a dime which, unlike HDDs, has no moving parts and is capable of storing many gigabytes of electromagnetic radiation insensitive data. A parallel write/read mechanism would make the memory device as fast as a semiconducting Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) device, but unlike the SRAM device, this memory device is non-volatile. Similar to the popular flash memory, this device would be capable of being connected to a PC port or USB port while retaining a higher data capacity than current flash memory technology.

Applications
An electronic memory/recording device used to store larger amounts of data in a compact three dimensional space than existing memory technology.
