Abstract: A mote includes an optical receiver that wirelessly receives a power and data signal in form of NIR light energy within a patient and converts the NIR light energy to an electrical signal having a supply voltage. A control module supplies the supply voltage to power devices of the mote. A clock generation circuit locks onto a target clock frequency based on the power and data signal and generates clock signals. A data recovery circuit sets parameters of one of the devices based on the power and data signal and a first clock signal. An amplifier amplifies a neuron signal detected via an electrode inserted in tissue of the patient. A chip identifier module, based on a second clock signal, generates a recorded data signal based on a mote chip identifier and the neuron signal. A driver transmits the recorded data signal via a LED or a RF transmitter.

Abstract: A synapse system is provided which includes three transistors and a resistance-switching element arranged between two neurons. The resistance-switching element has a resistance value and it is arranged between two neurons. A first transistor is connected between the resistance-switching element and one of the neurons. A second transistor and a third transistor are arranged between the two neurons, and are connected in series which interconnects with the gate of the first transistor. A first input signal is transmitted from one of the neurons to the other neuron through the first transistor. A second input signal is transmitted from one of the neurons to the other neuron through the second transistor and the third transistor. The resistance value of the resistance-switching element is changed based on the time difference between the first input signal and the second input signal.

Abstract: An electronic communications device including a transceiver, a touch screen display, and an electronic processor and a method for controlling same. The method includes generating, with the electronic processor, a graphical user interface including a soft push-to-talk button and a call hang time indicator, indicating visually a call hang time, in proximity to the soft push-to-talk button. The method also includes displaying the graphical user interface on the touch screen display, receiving, from the touch screen display, a first input selecting the soft push-to-talk button, and, in response to receiving the first input, establishing a push-to-talk channel via the transceiver.
