  • Patent number: 11537925
    Abstract: A quantum circuit generator for a quantum computer includes a controller; and a plurality of analog conversion units (ACUs) operatively connected to the controller, each ACU being operatively connected to a corresponding qubit of a plurality of qubits, wherein each ACU is configured to convert a digital input from the controller into an analog input at a microwave frequency to control a quantum state of the corresponding qubit. The controller is configured to generate a quantum circuit using at least two qubits of the plurality of qubits, the at least two qubits being selected by the controller based on corresponding classical bits being mapped by the controller and based on latency of the generated quantum circuit so that the generated quantum circuit has a latency less than a threshold latency.

  • Patent number: 5610947
    Abstract: Biphase or FM encoding is combined with Flash modulation in infrared (IR) communication. By shrinking the coded pulse width in the modulation process, power dissipation is effectively reduced to the point where FM encoding can be advantageously adapted to IR communication in a synchronous communication system. Noise filtering is also described.

  • Patent number: 5602873
    Abstract: A modulation scheme and system, compatible with both the asynchronous IRDA mode and the synchronous mode of IR communication, involves Non-Return-to-Zero-Inverted (NRZI) and Flash pulse encoding in conjunction with zero-bit stuffing. A digital data stream has a zero-bit inserted therein, before NRZI format encoding, whenever five consecutive one's are detected in the stream to enable the controller to distinguish the data from flags, which are exempt from the zero-bit insertion, and to provide enough transitions in the data so that the demodulator's digital phase lock loop can stay locked independent of the data contents. A Flash pulse (of from 3/16 to 8/16 of bit cell width, depending on the data rate) is generated whenever a transition is detected in the NRZI formatted data. The result, in keeping with IRDA modulation, is that a Flash pulse is generated whenever a zero occurs in the data stream.

  • Patent number: 5557634
    Abstract: A directed infrared (IR) communication controller which supports interoperability among protocols and which can communicate at baud rates of up to 2.34 Mbps while supporting the IRDA standard as well as Sharp's 500 KHz ASK, NRZI, and Biphase modulated IR systems. A method for automatically determining which type of infrared signal is being received is also described.
