Patent number: 11698945Abstract: An analog computing system with coupled non-linear oscillators can solve complex combinatorial optimization problems using the weighted Ising model. The system is composed of a fully-connected LC oscillator network with low-cost electronic components and compatible with traditional integrated circuit technologies. Each LC oscillator, or node, in the network can be coupled to each other node in the array with a multiply and accumulate crossbar array or optical interconnects. When implemented with four nodes, the system performs with single-run ground state accuracies of 98% on randomized MAX-CUT problem sets with binary weights and 84% with five-bit weight resolutions. The four-node system can obtain solutions within five oscillator cycles with a time-to-solution that scales directly with oscillator frequency. A scaling analysis suggests that larger coupled oscillator networks may be used to solve computationally intensive problems faster and more efficiently than conventional algorithms.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Jeffrey Chou, Suraj Deepak Bramhavar, Siddhartha Ghosh, William Herzog

Patent number: 11552595Abstract: Networks of superharmonic injection-locked (SHIL) electronic oscillators can be used to emulate Ising machines for solving difficult computational problems. The oscillators can be simulated or implemented in hardware (e.g., with LC oscillators) and are coupled to each other with links whose connection strengths are weighted according to the problem being solved. The oscillators' phases may be measured with respect to reference signal(s) from one or more reference oscillators, each of which emits a reference signal but does not receive input from any other oscillator. Sparsely connected networks of SHIL oscillators and reference oscillators can be used as Viterbi decoders that do not suffer from the information bottleneck between logic computational blocks and memory in digital computing systems.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Jeffrey Chou, Suraj Deepak Bramhavar, Christopher Roberts, Christopher A.

Patent number: 11538287Abstract: An apparatus for managing vehicle data collection including a remote access execution circuit, a property translation circuit, a parameter acquisition circuit, a remote operation circuit, and a parameter conditioning circuit. The remote access execution circuit interprets a remote access request value including a requested vehicle property and/or a vehicle function value.

The parameter acquisition circuit interprets vehicle parameter values responsive to the property request value. The remote operation circuit provides the actuator command value to a vehicle network zone endpoint. The parameter conditioning circuit generates, responsive to the property request value, vehicle property data from the vehicle parameter values. The vehicle property data corresponds to the requested vehicle property.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Sonatus, Inc.Inventors: Yu Fang, Yixiang Chen, Xuanran Zong, Robin Reed, Troy Michael Trenchard, Thurston Zhu, Sudhir Ramphal Dhankhar, Jeffrey Chou, Felipe Andres Valdes Valenzuela

Patent number: 11320647Abstract: Alloys of GeSbSeTe (GSST) can be used to make actively tunable infrared transmission filters that are small, fast, and solid-state. These filters can be used for hyperspectral imaging, 3D LIDAR, portable bio/chem sensing systems, thermal emission control, and tunable filters. GSST is a low-loss phase-change material that can switch from a low-index (n=3), amorphous state to a high-index (n=4.5), hexagonal state with low loss (k<0.3) over a wavelength range of 2-10 microns or more. The GSST thickness can be selected to provide pure phase modulation, pure amplitude modulation, or coupled phase and amplitude modulation. GSST can be switched thermally in an oven, optically with visible light, or electrically via Joule heating at speeds from kilohertz to Gigahertz. It operates with reversible and polarization independent transmission switching over a wide incident angle (e.g., 0-60 degrees).Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Jeffrey Chou, Vladimir Liberman, Juejun Hu, Yifei Zhang, William Herzog, Jason Stewart, Christopher Roberts
