Abstract: A parallelized chain-synthesizing technique includes capillary tubes, where each tube provides multiple locations or addresses where a specific arbitrary sequence for polymeric chains can be synthesized. An optical addressing system selectively delivers light to the locations to mediate or control reactions in the tubes.

Abstract: A method and a system for implementing a mathematical algorithm in a neural architecture and transferring that neural architecture to an integrated circuit (IC) chip. The neural architecture has neurons that are capable of converting current to frequency, voltage to frequency, frequency to frequency and time to frequency. The neurons can have multi-sensor inputs (multiple synapses) for either scaling or inhibiting neuron outputs. The neural architecture-to-hardware conversion method is specifically tailored for neural architectures for image processing applications.
