Missing Component Could Revolutionize Electronics
The Trancitor
Another “missing” component could revolutionize electronics A new theory predicts the existence of an electronic device that works like an inverse transistor. It could make circuits, smaller, faster, and less power hungry.
Abstract:
In this article, we first point out a missing active-device while providing its theoretical
definition and impact on electronics. This type of active devices has an inverse functionality of transistors, and is suggested to be called trancitor rather than transistor because it directly transfers an input signal into a voltage output. It is expected that a trancitor coupled with a transistor can provide a minimal circuit configuration, i.e., low circuit complexity, helping virtually to meet the Moore’s law.
And this may also lead to a lower power-consumption and higher speed of circuits compared to a transistor-only circuit. These are supported with a circuit simulation and simple Tetris-like block analysis. In this regards, in the future, it should be required to find a trancitor to be another foundation of electronics along with transistors.

Is “Azure Sphere” The Future Of IoT?
Microsoft Positions Itself for The IoT future with “Azure Sphere”
Microsoft’s highly-secured end-to-end solution for connected microcontroller-powered devices. Azure Sphere is a new technology to protect the processors that power smart appliances, connected toys, and other gadgets. Azure Sphere is powered in large part by Linux, a free operating system that Microsoft once viewed as a major threat. It’s the first time ever that Microsoft has made Linux part of a product offering.
- It will be made available to actual chip manufacturers for free.
- The chip/OS combo will be integrated with an Azure Sphere cloud security service, which will keep the devices up to date with security patches for 10 years or longer.

Cybersecurity; Is it a self-fulfilling prophecy?
What’s to stop these cybersecurity companies from creating cybersecurity threats in order to perpetuate and sustain their own ventures?… I’m just paranoid you may say. But when a company invests so heavily in an industry it’s not uncommon for them to create the problems and charge you to fix it. They call it; ” doing whatever it takes to be successful” and if being successful means creating fear and Chaos across the planet then mission accomplished.
