Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are provided for a distributed associative memory base. Such methods may include providing a distributed memory base that includes a network of networks of associative memory networks. The memory base may include a network of associative memory networks, a respective associative memory network comprising associations among a respective observer entity and a plurality of observed entities that are observed by the respective observer entity. Ones of the associative memory networks are physically and/or logically independent from other ones of the associative memory networks. Methods include imagining associations from the associative memory base using a plurality of streaming queues that correspond to ones of a plurality of rows of ones of the associative memory networks.

Abstract: Associative matrix compression methods, systems, computer program products and data structures compress an association matrix that contains counts that indicate associations among pairs of attributes. Selective bit plane representations of those selected segments of the association matrix that have at least one count is performed, to allow compression. More specifically, a set of segments is generated, a respective one of which defines a subset, greater than one, of the pairs of attributes. Selective identifications of those segments that have at least one count are stored. The at least one count that is associated with a respective identified segment is also stored as at least one bit plane representation. The at least one bit plane representation identifies a value of the at least one associated count for a bit position of the count that corresponds to the associated bit plane.

Abstract: A toy block. The toy block comprises a body having a top, a bottom and a sidewall connecting the top and the bottom. The sidewall has an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surface defines an interior cavity having a curved portion wherein the curved portion rotatably connects with at least another toy block.

Abstract: An artificial neuron includes inputs and dendrites, a respective one of which is associated with a respective one of the inputs. A respective dendrite includes a respective power series of weights. The weights in a given power of the power series represent a maximal projection. A respective power also may include at least one switch, to identify holes in the projections. By providing maximal projections, linear scaling may be provided for the maximal projections, and quasi-linear scaling may be provided for the artificial neuron, while allowing a lossless compression of the associations. Accordingly, hetero-associative and/or auto-associative recall may be accommodated for large numbers of inputs, without requiring geometric scaling as a function of input.

Abstract: An artificial neuron includes inputs and dendrites, a respective one of which is associated with a respective one of the inputs. Each dendrite includes a power series of weights, and each weight in a power series includes an associated count for the associated power. The power series of weights preferably is a base-two power series of weights, each weight in the base-two power series including an associated count that represents a bit position. The counts for the associated power preferably are statistical counts. More particularly, the dendrites preferably are sequentially ordered, and the power series of weights preferably includes a pair of first and second power series of weights. Each weight in the first power series includes a first count that is a function of associations of prior dendrites, and each weight of the second power series includes a second count that is a function of associations of next dendrites.

Abstract: Supra-additive blood platelet antiaggregation activity is observed with anagrelide in combination with those non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents which are inhibitors of platelet cyclooxygenase. The supra-additive effects of such combinations make possible new compositions and methods for both therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of thrombosis and other disorders associated with blood platelet aggregation.
