    摘要: A linear algebraic processor is provided, for instance for performing vector matrix multiplications as part of a neural network. Light emitting diode strips 4 are formed on one substrate 1 and are illuminated in accordance with the values of elements of an input vector. Photodiode strips 8 are arranged orthogonally to the light emitting diode strips 4 on another substrate 2. A ferro-electric liquid crystal layer 3 is disposed between the strips 4 and 8 and provided with polarisers and electrodes 7 and 9 to permit the light attenuation properties of each matrix element between facing portions of the light emitting diode strips 4 and photodiode strips 8 to be varied and stored in a non-volatile way. The optical attenuation represents the value of the elements of the matrix and the outputs of the photodiode strips 8 represent the value of the elements of an output vector formed as the product of the input vector and the matrix. The optical attenuation of the ferro-electric liquid crystal can be incremented or decremented by applying suitable voltages to the electrodes so as to create electric fields across the liquid crystal matrix elements.

    摘要: A programmable frequency sine wave signal generator, including a generator for generating square-wave signals having a programmable frequency; a counter for counting the periods of the square-wave signals; circuits for providing successive discrete sine wave values from successive states of the counter; and a low-pass filter receiving the successive discrete sine wave values and providing the sine wave. The low-pass filter is a switched-capacitor filter with a switching mode that is controlled by a signal having a frequency proportional to the frequency of the square-wave signal. Correct selection of the values of the filter capacitors allows the cut-off frequency of the filter to be continuously substantially the same as the frequency of the sine wave.

    摘要: A circuit has two multiplier modules. Each multiplier module has at least one controllable potentiometer for adjusting the amplitude ratio between an output signal and an input signal of the module. The potentiometers have substantially identical characteristics and they are controlled in the same manner such that the amplitude ratios of the multiplier modules are substantially equal. One of the modules receives as its input signal the first signal to be multiplied and delivers an output signal that is proportional to the product of the two operands, while the other module receives as its input signal a reference voltage and as its output signal it delivers a feedback signal which is servo-controlled to a value that is approximately equal to the value of the second signal to be multiplied. The circuit is applicable to meters for electrical energy.

    摘要: In a multiplier for binary numbers represented in two's complement notation, the need to perform sign-bit extension in order to combine the partial products is avoided by representing the value represented by the sign bits of all the partial products as a two's complement number in its own right. The bits of that number, rather than the original sign bits, are then used in the partial product addition. Since (as with all two's complement numbers) all the bits of the sign-bit-value word are guaranteed to have positive significance (except for the left-most one), the digits of the partial products can then be direcly added without the need for sign bit extension.

    摘要: A signal synthesizer is provided for producing pulses simulating characteristics of echo pulses generated during ultrasonic scanning so that the simulated pulses can be used in the calibration of equipment for processing the outputs of ultrasonic transducers. The synthesizer produces an envelope signal of selectively variable amplitude and rise and fall time and multiplies this envelope respectively with a high frequency pulse train and a substantially zero amplitude signal in a dual matched multiplier so that the subtractively combined outputs of the multiplier are free of unwanted feedthrough components introduced by the mulitplier.

    摘要: An optical processor suitable for matrix-vector multiplication. Coherent light passes through an acousto-optic cell modulated by the elements in the rows of the matrix. This light progresses through a lens system to a magneto-optic cell which is modulated by the column elements of the vector. The light passing through the magneto-optic cell is converged by a spherical lens onto a single optical-to-electrical converter, whose output is applied to an analog-to-digital converter. After conversion to digital values, the result is converted from mixed binary to pure binary form.

    摘要: An automatic compensation circuit for use with an analog multiplier is disclosed. At regular intervals at least one input to the analog multiplier is constrained to be zero for a short time. During this time a sample and hold circuit retains the pre-existing output voltage and a feedback circuit is activated which adjusts the output voltage of the multiplier to zero, thereby providing an accurate multiplied or product signal, typically representing power consumption, which is adjusted or compensated for the effects of any internal errors occurring within the analog multiplier.

    摘要: Provided are a series of analog quantities that are approximately proportional respectively to the components of a third array that is the product of a first array of components multiplied by a second array of components in a predetermined order. Light of intensity approximately proportional to the first component of the first array is directed to the input side of a modulator whose output light intensity is approximately proportional to an electrical signal applied to it. Applied to the modulator, while the light is passing through it, is a signal approximately proportional to the first component of the second array, so that the intensity of the output light from the modulator is approximately proportional to the product of the two first components. The output light from the modulator is directed to a detector for providing an electrical signal that is approximately proportional to the product of the two first components. After predetermined times, the above steps are repeated with the second then the third, etc., and finally with the last component of the first array and the last component of the second array to provide a similar electrical signal each time; and the individual product signals are directed to summers, so that each provides an output that is approximately proportional to a component of the third array.
