摘要:
An adaptive cognitive prosthetic that learns to replace neural function that was lost due to a brain injury or disease is described herein. In some embodiments, an adaptive cognitive prosthetic comprises a processing unit for converting input data from an input assembly into a cognitive variable and selecting a stimulation pattern for conveying the cognitive variable. The processing unit employs an adaptive algorithm to assemble the stimulation pattern by combination of subset stimulation patterns, the combination of subset stimulation patterns learned by the adaptive algorithm through error analysis.

The invention relates to an organic photosensitive optoelectronic device comprising: two electrodes in superposed relation; a hole transport layer (2A02,2B03,2C03) between the two electrodes, the hole transport layer formed of a first photoconductive organic semiconductor material; an electron transport layer (2A03,2B04,2C04) between the two electrodes and adjacent to the hole transport layer, the electron transport layer formed of a second photoconductive organic semiconductor material; and at least one exciton blocking layer (2A04,2B02,2C02,2C05) between the two electrodes and adjacent to at least one of the electrodes.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to low complexity, efficient, two-component memory elements for use in low-cost, robust, and reliable WORM memories. The memory element of one embodiment is an organic-on-inorganic heterojunction diode comprising an organic-polymer layer joined to a doped, inorganic semiconductor layer. The organic polymer layer serves both as one later of a two-later, semiconductor-based diode, as well as a fuse. Application of a voltage greater than a threshold WRITE voltage for a period of time greater than a threshold time interval for a WRITE-voltage pulse irreversibly and dramatically increases the resistivity of the organic polymer layer. The memory element that represents one embodiment of the present invention is more easily manufactured than previously described, separate-fuse-and-diode memory elements, and has the desirable characteristics of being switchable at lower voltages and with significantly shorter-duration WRITE-voltage pulses than the previously described memory elements.
