Technion Research and Development Foundation Ltd., Haifa, Israel, has been assigned a patent (10,878,906) developed by Yavits, Leonid, Herzliya, Israel, Ginosar, Ran, Nofit, Israel, and Weiser, Uri, Tel Aviv, Israel, for “resistive address decoder and virtually addressed memory.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”NAND-based content addressable memory is provided with a memory cell including two programmable resistive elements, such as memristors. These memory cells can be used to provide a programmable resistive address decoder. Such decoders can improve computer hardware performance in various ways: 1) improved translation lookaside buffers 2) improved cache memory, and 3) by eliminating physical addresses entirely.”

The patent application was filed on February 13, 2018 (16/485,502).
