Abstract: This document describes an electro-optic modulator with an integrated memory device comprising a micro-ring resonator and the memory device comprising a ferroelectric capacitor disposed in a partial circumference of a raised ring waveguide of the micro-ring resonator. An electric field is generated between transparent electrodes of the ferroelectric capacitor when a voltage is applied between these two layers, whereby the electric filed causes a polarization state of the ferroelectric capacitor to change based on the strength of the electric field. The electric field then extends between the ferroelectric capacitor and a bottom electrode layer of the micro-ring resonator when the applied voltage is removed, causing a refractive index of a non-centrosymmetric material of the micro-ring resonator to change based on the strength of the extended electric field.

Abstract: The disclosed system links an individual dataset to a database. The system receives a target individual dataset associated with a target individual and identifies candidate individual datasets that are potentially related to the target individual dataset. The system identifies a related individual dataset that has data bits that match some data bits in the target individual dataset. The system then identifies a parent node that is a common parent node to both the target individual dataset and the related individual dataset. The system retrieves a data tree that the parent node belongs to with the data tree containing information describing inter-relationships among datasets in the data tree. A node in the data tree is identified to assign the target individual dataset based on strings of matched data bits and number of the matched strings between the target individual dataset and the datasets in the data tree.
