Abstract: An apparatus and method for creating data dependency in a neural network without the need for historical data or training is described. An “auxiliary path” that is adjacent to the main path of the neural network contains neurons that receive input data, creating non-linearity beyond that normally present in the network. The outputs of the neurons in the auxiliary path do not directly feed into the layers of neurons in the main path of the network as inputs, but instead are used to “adjust” the input weights to neurons in the main path by selecting which of existing, pre-determined weights are used for any given input. No training phase is required, and the weights in the network do not change, but instead existing paths are simply opened or closed to inputs depending upon the inputs, effectively altering the input weights to the neurons in the main path.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving the efficiency of a D class amplifier, particularly at lower output levels. A class D amplifier having a load with inductance, such as a transducer, is configured to concurrently act as its own buck regulator. A capacitor connected to ground and to both ends of the transducer through switches functions as the buck regulator in connection with the inductance of the transducer, providing the class D amplifier with additional voltage levels such as might be provided by a G/H class amplifier but without the added complexity or expense of the G/H configurations. Better efficiency is possible than that provided by a 100% efficient conventional buck regulator. No envelope detector is required, nor any change to the gain of the digital signal to the class D amplifier. Both synchronous and asynchronous applications are possible. Feedback may be used if desired, but is not required.

Abstract: An analog element for use as a neuron in a recurrent neural network is described, the analog element having memory of a prior layer state and being a continuous time circuit rather than having a discrete clocking interval. The element is characterized and described by the Laplace s-domain operator, as distinct from a digital solution that uses the z-domain operator appropriate for quantized time descriptions. Rather than using an all-pass filter, the analog equivalent of a unit delay in the z-domain, a finite gain integrator, which is a simpler circuit, may be used to provide the delay in the analog s-domain. The resulting circuit may be easily implemented at the transistor level.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for controlling a computing system by an AI network based upon an electroencephalograph (EEG) signal from a user. The user's EEG signals are first detected as the user operates an existing controller, during which time the associated artificial intelligence (AI) system learns by correlating the EEG signals with the commands received from the controller. Once the AI system determines that there is sufficient correlation to predict the user's actions, it can take control of the computing system and initiate commands based upon the user's EEG signal in place of the user's actions with the controller. At this point, weights in the AI network may be locked so that further commands from the controller, or the lack thereof, do not reduce correlation with the EEG signals. In some embodiments, the AI network may initiate commands faster than the user would be able to do.

Abstract: Improved performance of analog computers is obtained by utilizing a deliberate reduction in gain of the gain elements present in the analog computer. While a prior output of the circuit (if any) is present, the gain of the gain elements is reduced to a level that is low enough that the input signal cannot propagate through the circuit. The input signal is then changed to a new value, or set of values, while the gain of the gain elements remains reduced. Finally, the gain of the gain elements is increased to a level that is high enough to allow the input signal to propagate through the circuit, resulting in an output that is a solution to the problem represented by the analog computer.

Abstract: Combinatorial logic circuits with feedback, which include at least two combinatorial logic elements, are disclosed. At least one of the combinatorial logic elements receives an external input (i.e., from outside the circuit), at least one of the combinatorial logic elements receives an input that is feedback of the circuit output, and at least one of the combinatorial logic elements receives an input that is neither an external input nor an output of the circuit but rather is from another of the combinatorial logic elements and thus only “implicit” to the circuit. No staticizers are needed; the logic circuits effectively create implicit equations to perform functions that were previously thought to require sequential logic. The combinatorial logic circuits result in a stable output (in some instances after a brief period of time) due to the implicit equations, rather than achieving stability from an explicit expression of some input to the circuit.

Abstract: A pipelined ADC that does not wait for the residue of a signal to settle to be delivered to the next stage of the pipeline, and thus passes signals to subsequent stages at faster than conventional speeds. A pipelined ADC is used that processes signals representing the boundaries of the search space. Thus, each stage does not necessarily receive the signal as pre-processed by the prior stage, but rather the search space boundaries as pre-processed by the prior stage. Reducing the “search space” of the ADC is equivalent to creating the residues in each step of a pipeline as in the prior art. An ADC operating in this fashion operates without error even if the residual search space boundary outputs from one state are presented to the next stage before the outputs have settled, and can run faster for a given power and bandwidth.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for using the known phenomena of quantum gate tunneling in semiconductor transistors to define the DC state of a charge-coupled amplifier is described. A first stage in which the tunneling current is bipolar (by pairing PMOS and NMOS transistors) in combination with a second stage with a controlled common mode voltage that can be used to control the first stage tunneling current, and thus the common mode voltage at the input. This can be done without the use of additional elements that may degrade performance or power consumption, since the input devices both process the input signal and maintain the DC operating point of the circuit. The approach may be advantageously used not only in charge-coupled amplifiers as described herein, but also in other capacitively coupled circuits such as charge balancing analog to digital converters (ADCs) and digital to analog converters (DACs).

Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing signals in the analog domain. A signal is derived from analog circuit properties that is shift and scale invariant. Although the circuit properties are not quantized as in traditional digital signal processing, the signal is immune from effects of the properties, such as common mode noise, absolute voltage or current level, finite settling time, etc., as a digital signal would be. The shift and scale invariance allows for mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of signals. By combining these operations, various circuits may be constructed, including a voltage controlled amplifier, a time gain amplifier, and an analog-to-digital converter. The circuits are constructed using almost no non-linear, active devices, and will thus use less power for a given speed than comparable digital devices, and will often be faster as there are no delay elements and no need to wait for the circuit properties to settle.
