The Company

Ternarylogic LLC is based in New Jersey.  It was founded in 2004 to provide solutions in digital signal processing and non-binary digital coding, transmission and storage of signals.  Its Intellectual Property is protected by patents and pending patents filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  The company is assisted by patent attorneys experienced in creating coherent, broad and pioneering IP portfolios.

Our inventions represent a significant advancement in the understanding and use of multi-state switching; in particular as used in LFSRs.  The inventions also introduce novel aspects in coding and signal representation by extending the LFSR beyond forbidden states and applying the reversible aspects of switching functions.

Ternarylogic LLC owns the rights to a portfolio of over 30 major inventions. The portfolio is currently available for licensing.  Other arrangements in the area of co-development will also be considered.

The Inventor

The creative force behind the inventions is Peter Lablans. Lablans is an EE with an M. Sc. (Ir.) and B. Sc. degree from Twente University in the Netherlands. He was a student of Dr. Gerrit Blaauw co-architect with Fred Brooks and Gene Amdahl of the IBM System/360. Dr. Blaauw's approach to focus on architecture and implementation and to worry about realization only when it is relevant was extremely helpful in designing n-state solutions and in developing computerized n-state design tools.

Peter Lablans was a system engineer for advanced digital transmission systems, where he dealt with systems using ternary transmission codes, issues of error performance of data descramblers and digital signal processing in a trans-multiplexeur. He also was a professor of network theory and digital signal processing.

His career further included positions as assistant science attaché, consul for industrial affairs and several successful positions in business development and marketing, focusing on large and complex sales projects.

Currently Lablans is an Inventor, Entrepreneur, and Patent Engineer.

Peter Lablans started his working career as a high-school teacher of mathematics and physics in Paramaribo, Suriname, where he was privileged to teach very bright and engaging students.

The Investors

The company is backed by a small group of dedicated and experienced investors who have invested for the long term.  As visionaries they recognize the potential benefits of Ternarylogic’s inventions in communications and storage products.  They have supported the Inventor to
create a portfolio that is pioneering in nature, broad and defensible by exercising IP rights.

What's in a Name?

One may wonder if everything that Ternarylogic develops is 3-state or 3-valued. That is not the case. The name merely indicates that the major efforts are not in binary logic, though some of our inventions are. Many previous inventors have used 3-valued logic as the next step up from binary logic. And 3-state switching has a certain attractive symmetry. However with binary logic being presently dominant it may be more attractive to use a switching technology that uses a number of switching states that is a multiple of 2 and that makes transformation between binary and n-state easier to implement.
