Abstract: A field programmable neural array is an integrated circuit designed for artificial intelligence applications at the tactical computing edge. This platform combines a domain specific accelerator for AI with a reconfigurable interconnect to permit a deep neural network to be mapped into the field programmable neural array. The field programmable neural array includes domain specific accelerators that perform inference tasks with higher computing efficiency than central processing units and graphics processing units, approaching that of application-specific integrated circuits designed specifically for AI applications, and a reconfigurable interconnect providing the flexibility and connectivity of a field programmable gate array with lower power consumption.

Abstract: Millimeter scale three dimensional antenna structures and methods for fabricating such structures are disclosed. According to one method, a first substantially planar die having a first antenna structure is placed on a first surface. A second substantially planar die having at least one conductive element is placed on a second surface that forms an oblique angle with the first surface. The first and second dies are mechanically coupled to each other such that the first die and the first antenna structure extend at the oblique angle to the second die.

Abstract: Electrical connector parts for combining power delivery and signaling in inductively coupled connectors are disclosed. According to one aspect, an electrical connector part includes a first mating connector face having disposed thereon a first set of inductors and also includes a mechanical interface that is configured to maintain the first mating connector face in closely spaced apart relation to a second mating conductor face having disposed thereon a second set of inductors. The mechanical interface is designed to prevent DC coupling and provide inductive AC coupling between at least one pair of inductors made up of one inductor from the first set of inductors and one inductor from the second set of inductors. The first set of inductors includes a power inductor of a first size for transferring power and a data inductor of a second size different from the first size for transferring data.

Abstract: AC powered logic circuits and systems including same are disclosed. According to one aspect, a system including a logic circuit powered using an alternating current (AC) power source includes at least one supply transistor connected to receive voltages of opposite phases from an AC power source such that the at least one supply transistor is strongly on during a first phase of the voltage of the AC power source and is strongly off during a second phase opposite the first phase of the voltage of the AC power source and at least one logic circuit connected to be powered by the AC power source through the at least one supply transistor and producing an output at an output terminal responsive to an input received at an input terminal.
