  • Publication number: 20220405350
    Abstract: A computing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes: an input port to receive a first optical signal; a matrix calculation unit having a transmission matrix and configured to use the transmission matrix to process the first optical signal to obtain a second optical signal, where the second optical signal has a complex amplitude, and the transmission matrix is a unitary matrix M?; a real part obtaining unit optically coupled to the matrix calculation unit and configured to obtain, from the second optical signal, a third optical signal representing a real part of a complex amplitude of the second optical signal; and an output port configured to output an optical signal.

  • Publication number: 20220405565
    Abstract: A digital signal modulation method for a photon artificial intelligence computing chip, including: modulating one or more groups of digital electrical signals into optical signals; where the group of digital electrical signals comprises several timing signals being outputted in sequence in a channel within a fixed period; where each timing signal has the same base clock and signal time length; where each timing signal conveying N-bit digital information has 2N?1 base clocks, the number of the base clocks of a high-level signal or the number of a digital signal “1” in the timing signal is a signal value of the timing signal, and the signal value is equal to a value of the N-bit digital information being transmitted; and where the timing signal is a modulating signal for converting the electrical signal to the optical signal.

  • Patent number: 8065298
    Abstract: A concept network that can be generated in response to a user query. Various embodiments include analysis of structure information, for example, where such information is based at least in part on Universal Resource Locators (URLs) of Web sites or data storage locations. A concept network may be used with a search tool where the search tool searches a plurality of sites (e.g., Web sites, data storage locations, etc.). In such an example, each site location is arranged with a node. Certain ones of the nodes are connected by at least one link. The concept network selects a portion of certain ones of the nodes based on the link, wherein the at least one link is used for content purposes.
