Patents by Inventor Bryce Himebaugh

Bryce Himebaugh has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Extended analog computer apparatus
    Patent number: 9594930
    Abstract: An extended analog computer includes an electrically conductive material with a plurality of sides. At least one of the sides is isolated from an electrical ground and at least one other side is electrically grounded. A plurality of electrically conductive pins is arranged in the electrical conductor. At least one voltage sensor is arranged in the electrical conductor proximate to the at least one side that is isolated from the electrical ground.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 14, 2017
    Assignee: Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Ken Yoshida, Bryce Himebaugh, Shaoyu Qiao, Muller Soliman

  • Method and apparatus for evolving overlays to operate an extended analog computer as a classifier or a controller
    Patent number: 8219506
    Abstract: A method is used to configure an extended analog computer for use as an application controller. The method includes selecting input pins from among a plurality of pins in a continuous sheet processor, selecting an arrangement of intermediate and output pins from among the remaining pins in the plurality of pins in the continuous sheet processor, applying a pattern data set to the input pins, using an evolutionary algorithm, coupling current sources and sinks to the intermediate and output pins, measuring an error between an output and its expected value, and continuing to select intermediate and output pin arrangements, apply pattern data sets, and measure errors until a configuration threshold is met.
