ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,730,488, issued on Sept. 8, was assigned to Bank of America Corp. (Charlotte, N.C.).

"Reversible logic gate-based thermal management with software-controlled 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 presents a reversible logic gate-based thermal management system with a software-controlled entropy offloading unit (TOU) for high-performance processors. Reversible logic gates are used in high-computation regions to minimize entropy conversion and reduce heat, while non-reversible gates are used in low-computation areas. The system...
