Abstract: This application relates to computing circuitry (200), in particular for analogue computing circuitry suitable for neuromorphic computing. The circuitry (200) has a plurality of memory cells (201), each memory cell having an input electrode (201) for receiving a cell input signal and an output (203P, 203N) for outputting a cell output signal (IP, IN), with first and second paths connecting the input electrode to the output. The cell output signal thus depends on a differential current between the first and second paths due to the cell input signal. Each memory cell also comprises at least one programmable-resistance memory element (204) in each of the first and second paths and is controllable, by selective programming of the programmable-resistance memory elements, to store a data digit that can take any of at least three different values.

Abstract: A method for developing a map of objects in a region surrounding a location is disclosed. The method includes interrogating the region along a detection axis with a series of optical pulses and detecting reflections of the optical pulses that originate at objects located along the detection axis. A multi-dimensional map of the region is developed by scanning the detection axis about the location in at least one dimension. The reflections are detected via a single-photon detector that is armed using a sub-gating scheme such that the single-photon detector selectively detects photons of reflections that originate only within each of a plurality of zones that collectively define the detection field. In some embodiments, the optical pulses have a wavelength within the range of 1350 nm to 1390 nm, which is a spectral range having a relatively high eye-safety threshold and a relatively low solar background.

Abstract: A radio node may transmit a signal using a transmit power. Then, the radio node may adjust the transmit power within a range of values. The adjustment may include reducing the transmit power when a spatial received signal strength indication (RSSI) metric of the radio node is greater than a first threshold value and a coverage criterion is met. Note that the spatial RSSI metric of the radio node may correspond to a set of temporal RSSI metrics of the radio node received from neighboring radio nodes. Moreover, the coverage criterion may be that less than a portion of RSSI measurements of the radio node associated with electronic devices, which are communicatively attached with the radio node, is less than a second threshold value. Alternatively, the adjustment may include increasing the transmit power when the spatial RSSI metric is less than the first threshold value.
