  • Patent number: H1415
    Abstract: The Unique Neural Network Signal Processor/Analyzer (UNSPA), for real-time analysis of analog signals, involves combining acoustic charge transport (ACT) device(s) and an artificial neural network processor on a single, monolithic substrate. The ACT will act as input to the neural network. The UNSPA will allow non-destructive, high-speed, real-time signal analysis with improved performance and decreased size over conventional methods. The UNSPA can function as, but is not limited to, signal classification, prediction or error detection. Applications for such functions could be: target or speech recognition, signal prediction, sensor fusion, adaptive control, image classification, in-line error detection.
