  • Patent number: 11615318
    Abstract: A pattern recognition device comprising: a coupled network of damped, nonlinear, dynamic elements configured to generate an output response in response to at least one environmental condition, wherein each element has an associated multi-stable potential energy function that defines multiple energy states of an individual element, and wherein the elements are tuned such that environmental noise triggers stochastic resonance between energy levels of at least two elements; a processor configured to monitor the output response over time and to determine a probability that the pattern recognition device is in a given state based on the monitored output response; and detecting a pattern in the at least one environmental condition based on the probability.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 23, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2023
    Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
