Abstract: A nano-photonic chip for optical readout of biological activity is provided. The design has an electrochromic polymer layer (e.g. ProDOT) on top of a conductive path layer. The electrochromic polymer layer is capable of changing optical properties of the electrochromic polymer layer in response to the biological activity. A nearfield optical resonator is formed between the conductive path layer and the electrochromic polymer layer, where the incoming light, which has approximately normal incident to an optical substrate, is transmitted through the optical substrate and coupled by the conductive path layer into the nearfield optical resonator. Nearfield confinement enhances absorption in the electrochromic polymer layer, and then changes in refractive index encode the biological activity and modulate the optical properties of outgoing reflected or transmitted light for optical readout therewith facilitating the optical readout of the biological activity.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a data processing system for customizing content in a voice activated computer network environment. The data processing system can provide an improved voice-based interface by selected response attributes based on response weightings. The selection of predetermined attributes can reduce size of response data and reduce network transmissions by providing more succinct audio-based responses.
