  • Neuromimetic circuit
    Patent number: 11258415
    Abstract: A neuromimetic circuit includes: a primary single photon optoelectronic neuron; a synapse in optical communication with the primary single photon optoelectronic neuron; and an axonic waveguide in optical communication with the primary single photon optoelectronic neuron and the synapse such that the axonic waveguide optically interconnects the primary single photon optoelectronic neuron and the synapse.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE
    Inventors: Jeffrey Shainline, Sae Woo Nam, Sonia Buckley
  • Thermal impedance amplifier
    Patent number: 10236433
    Abstract: A thermal impedance amplifier includes: a resistive layer including: a resistance member; a first electrode in electrical communication with the resistance member; and a second electrode in electrical communication with the resistance member; a switch layer opposing the resistive layer and including: a switch member; a first switch electrode in electrical communication with the switch member; and a second switch electrode in electrical communication with the switch member, the switch member: switching from a first resistance to a second resistance in response to receiving phonons from the resistance member, being superconductive at the first resistance, and producing an amplified voltage in response to being at the second resistance; and a thermal conductor interposed between the resistance member and the switch member.
