Oscillators including charge-flow transistor logic elements
TLDR
In this article, the authors used the period of oscillation of a charge-flow transistor as a measure of an environmental condition, which can be used as a measurement of environmental conditions.Abstract:
Oscillators that include charge-flow transistor logic elements, each logic element including a charge-flow transistor and a load element, in combination. The charge-flow transistors have TURN-ON times t on and TURN-OFF times t off that can be very different from one another (e.g., t on can range from milliseconds to hundreds of seconds; whereas in the charge-flow transistors shown herein t off is typically less than one microsecond). The magnitude of t on is sensitive to the environment; hence, the period of oscillation can be used as a measure of an environmental condition.read more

Method and circuit for a current controlled oscillator
TL;DR: In this paper, a current controlled oscillator is described, consisting of a latch comprising two logic inverters to maintain a switch state for a determined duration, the latch having two complementary output voltages; a differential switch pair comprising a first and a second switch controlled by the two complementary outputs respectively to steer a control current to a first or second node alternatively; a third and fourth switch driven on by a high level voltage at one of the first and second node to set and reset the latch.
