Abstract: A memristive device (400) includes: a first electrode (405); a second electrode (425); a memristive matrix (415) interposed between the first electrode (405) and the second electrode (425); a porous dopant diffusion element (410) in physical contact with the memristive matrix (415) and in proximity to the first electrode (405) and the second electrode (425); and a first mobile dopant species which moves through the porous dopant diffusion element (410) in response to a programming electrical field. A method for using a memristive device (400) having a porous dopant diffusion element (410) includes applying a voltage bias to generate a programming electrical field such that dopants move through the porous dopant diffusion element (410), thereby changing the distribution of dopants within a memristive matrix (415) to form a first state; removing the voltage bias, the dopants being substantially immobile in the absence of the programming electrical field; and applying a reading energy to the memristive device (400) to sense the first state.

Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for reducing a number of options presented to a user where the options have characteristics that are arranged in a multi-dimensional hierarchical space. A system and method can be configured to identify common dimensions using dimension nodes in dimensional points and identify compatible nodes for each dimension in the multi-dimensional hierarchical space by determining whether an association exists. Compatible pairs of surviving points are generated after applying each of the compatible nodes from the common dimensions. Greatest lower bounds (GLBs) are computed for each of the generated compatible points, and a set of options is generated comprising points from the generated compatible points and the computed GLBs.

Abstract: An optical sensor, sensing system and method of sensing employ a half-core hollow optical waveguide adjacent to a surface of an optical waveguide layer of a substrate. The half-core hollow optical waveguide and the adjacent optical waveguide layer cooperatively provide both an optical path that confines and guides an optical signal and an internal hollow channel. The optical path and channel extend longitudinally along a hollow core of the half-core hollow optical waveguide. The system further includes an optical source at an input of the optical path and an optical detector at an output of the optical path. A spectroscopic interaction between an analyte material that is introduced into the channel and an optical signal propagating along the optical path determines a characteristic of the analyte material.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to plasmonic electric-field concentrators and to systems incorporating the plasmonic electric-field concentrators to perform Raman spectroscopy. In one aspect, a plasmonic electric-field concentrator comprises two or more large features, and a relatively small feature similar in shape to large features positioned adjacent to the two or more large features. The features are arranged so that when light of an appropriate wavelength is incident on the features, surface plasmon polaritons form on the outer surfaces of the features. The surface plasmon polaritons have associated electric fields extending perpendicular to the surfaces of the features. The electric fields are concentrated in the space between features forming an electric field hot spot that enhances Raman scattered light emitted from an analyte proximate to or absorbed on the features.
