Numonyx thanks Ovonyx for the memory

Henry

The name Numonyx is perhaps 

also a play on the word mnemonics, the ability to remember things by associating them with other objects.

interesting and cool, but..... 

I have seen this tech before, just not in a semiconductor. It is from the early days of HardDisk manufacturing. next progression would be to have each memory address be a tiny little oscillator whose frequency could be modified (MFMRAM anyone?).

Just remember you heard it here first, and from me. When you are ready to start manufacturing I will give you an address to send the royalty payments to.
