MUMBAI, India, Aug. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517073310 A) filed by International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, U.S.A., on Aug. 1, for 'configurable sensor units and sensor apparatus.'
Inventor(s) include Syed, Ghazi Sarwat; Egger, Urs; and Sebastian, Abu.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Configurable sensor units and sensor apparatus are provided. A configurable sensor unit comprises a sensor device for generating an electrical signal, dependent on a stimulus sensed by the device, in a circuit, and a programmable non-volatile memory element operable in the circuit as a load resistor for the sensor device, whereby resistance of the load resistor depends on a programmed state of the memory element. The sensor unit has an output for providing an output signal dependent on the aforementioned electrical signal and programmed state. Sensor apparatus may comprise a plurality of these configurable sensor units. Such sensor apparatus may be configured to perform in-sensor compute operations for neural network architectures. Further sensor apparatus comprises a configurable sensor unit and a controller for programming the memory element of the sensor unit to a programmed state dependent on an operating requirement for the sensor unit."
The patent application was internationally filed on Dec. 30, 2023, under International application No.PCT/IB2023/063410.
