  • Patent number: 10614358
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of memristive networks comprising a number of nodes. Memristive nanofibers are used to form conductive and memristive paths in the networks. Each memristive nanofiber may couple one or more nodes to one or more other nodes. In one case, a memristive network includes a first node, a second node, and a memristive fiber that couples the first node to the neural node. The memristive fiber comprises a conductive core and a memristive shell, where the conductive core forms a conductive path between the first node and the second node and the memristive shell forms a memristive path between the first node and the second node.

  • Patent number: 10430493
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for performing efficient vector-matrix multiplication using a sparsely-connected conductance matrix and analog mixed signal (AMS) techniques. Metal electrodes are sparsely connected using coaxial nanowires. Each electrode can be used as an input/output node or neuron in a neural network layer. Neural network synapses are created by random connections provided by coaxial nanowires. A subset of the metal electrodes can be used to receive a vector of input voltages and the complementary subset of the metal electrodes can be used to read output currents. The output currents are the result of vector-matrix multiplication of the vector of input voltages with the sparsely-connected matrix of conductances.
