ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,717,651, issued on Aug. 25, was assigned to Bank of America Corp. (Charlotte, N.C.).

"Reversible logic gate-based thermal management with dedicated entropy offloading unit for high-performance processor" was invented by John-David Stuart Marsters (London).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The invention provides a reversible logic gate-based thermal management system with a dedicated entropy offloading unit (TOU) for high-performance processors. Reversible logic gates are deployed in high-computational regions to minimize the conversion of information entropy conversion to heat, while non-reversible gates are used in low-computation regions. ...
