… is what you just have to say sometimes. It was just the other day I noted how much information could be extracted from the front page of a recently published Apple patent application. Then published application 2012/0204040, assigned to Ramtron appeared. The title, “Authenticating Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (F-RAM) Device and Method”, was intriguing enough, but it was the last inventor that caught my attention. Michael Borza, Ottawa is the CTO and founder of Elliptic Technologies. Now Elliptic describes themselves as “a leading supplier of content protection software and security semiconductor IP”.
Ramtron’s work with Revere Security is known, but I was not aware of work with Elliptic. One possibility is the subject matter of the application is a result of consulting services provided to Ramtron, aligning with the single assignee.
In the end the appearance of this application and the work it represents supports Ramtron’s interest in the area of authentication and encryption. From a technology POV the application should be an interesting read.
