The featured patent application describes better security systems for smart batteries in use by a wide array of mobile electronic devices. The advanced circuitry of these batteries would allow for the same amount of compatibility among generic chargers while dissuading would-be copiers from cloning batteries. We also discuss some interesting innovations related to computerized key fobs for secure vehicle access and a couple of improvements to integrated circuit and semiconductor manufacturing. Our check-in with Texas Instruments’ recently issued patents continues where we left off with electronics manufacturing technologies. TI was recently awarded the right to protect a couple of new manufacturing system and hardware improvements, including a device that can provide better cleaning of semiconductor wafers without damaging electronic circuitry. We were also piqued by a newly patented system that allows classroom instructors to check the work of their students through their calculators.
