    Abstract: A differential multiplier-accumulator accepts A and B digital inputs and generates a dot product P by applying the bits of the A input and the bits of the B inputs to respective positive and negative unit elements comprised of groups of AND gates coupled to charge transfer lines through a capacitor Cu. Each positive and negative unit element receives one bit of the B input applied to all of the AND gates of the unit element, and each positive and negative unit element having the bits of A applied to each associated AND gate input of each unit element. The AND gates are coupled to charge transfer lines through a capacitor Cu, and the charge transfer lines couple to binary weighted charge summing capacitors and to an analog to digital converter to generate a digital output product. The charge transfer lines may span multiple unit elements.

    Abstract: A multiplier-accumulator accepts A and B digital inputs and generates a dot product P by applying the bits of the A input and the bits of the B inputs to unit elements comprised of groups of AND gates coupled to charge transfer lines through a capacitor Cu. The number of bits in the B input is a number of AND-groups and the number of bits in A is the number of AND gates in an AND-group. Each unit element receives one bit of the B input applied to all of the AND gates of the unit element, and each unit element having the bits of A applied to each associated AND gate input of each unit element. The AND gates are coupled to charge transfer lines through a capacitor Cu, and the charge transfer lines couple to binary weighted charge summing capacitors which sum and scale the charges from the charge transfer lines, the charge coupled to an analog to digital converter which forms the dot product output. The charge transfer lines may span multiple unit elements.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an analog-digital hybrid architecture, which performs 256 multiplications and additions at a time. The system comprises 256 Processing Elements (PE) (108), which are arranged in a matrix form (16 rows and 16 columns). The digital inputs (110) are converted to analog signal (114) using digital to analog converters (DAC) (102). One PE (108) produces one analog output (115) which is nothing but the multiplication of the analog input (114) and the digital weight input (112). The implementation of PE is done by using i) capacitors and switches and ii) resistor and switches. The outputs from multiple PEs (108) in a column are connected together to produce one analog MAC output (116). In the similar manner, the system produces 16 MAC outputs (118) corresponding to 16 columns. Analog to digital converters (ADC) (104) are used to convert the analog MAC output (116) to digital form (118).

    Abstract: An IoT device has a public device identifier and a private device identifier, where the public device identifier is publicly available and the private device identifier is secret but kept in a secure device database as a tuple. A registration request containing encrypted credentials comprising at least a private identifier and optionally a public identifier is sent from the IoT device to an association server in communication with a device database having an association between IoT public identifier and a corresponding IoT private identifier. The association server which receives the registration request and encrypted credentials responds with a registration acknowledgement when the decrypted credentials match the tuple in the device database, or forwards the request to a registration server when it does not. The requesting IoT device receives an acknowledgement and is thereafter able to join the wireless network.

    Abstract: An activation detector for fast-neutrons has a yttrium target exposed to a neutron source. Fast-neutrons which have energy in excess of 1 MeV (above a threshold energy level) generate gamma rays from a nuclear reaction with the yttrium, the gamma rays having an energy level of 908.96 keV, and the resultant gamma rays are coupled to a scintillator which generates an optical response, the optical response of the scintillator is coupled to a photomultiplier tube which generates an electrical response. The number of counts from the photomultiplier tube provides an accurate indication of the fast-neutron flux, and the detector is exclusively sensitive to fast-neutrons with an energy level over 1 MeV, thereby providing a fast-neutron detector which does not require calibration or the setting of a threshold.

    Abstract: A transmit filter for a stream of OFDM symbols has a remapper, Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter and a controller, the transmit filter operating on a stream of OFDM symbols. The transmit filter accepts symbols to be transmitted, the re-mapper re-orders them, the IIR filters the re-ordered stream, and a controller provides an output by rearranging the filtered symbols. The incoming symbol stream contains a series of symbols, each followed by a guard interval, where each guard interval has a first Tg symbol interval, and a second Tg symbol interval, the remapper generating a re-ordered stream having a first Tg symbol interval, a second Tg symbol interval and the symbol, the output of the IIR filter thereby generating a filtered first Tg symbol, a filtered second Tg symbol, and a filtered symbol, and the controller forms the transmit output by discarding the filtered first Tg symbol and outputting, in sequence, the filtered second Tg symbol, the filtered symbol, and a copy of the filtered second Tg symbol. The filtered second Tg symbol may be saved into a local buffer at the time it is initially output for use following the current symbol.

    Abstract: An packet detection controller accepts an input from an AGC controller which indicates the presence of an increased signal energy and also completion of an AGC process and generates an output to suspend the AGC process. The packet detection controller also receives a plurality of IQ receiver streams and forms a single stream for use by a packet detector, which is controllable by an SNR_MODE indicating whether the signal to noise ratio is above or below a particular threshold, and a PD_RESET signal indicating that no packet detection should occur. The controller also receives a PACKET_DET signal indicating that packet detection is completed. The packet detection controller examines the incoming receiver streams and suspends AGC process if a packet detect is generated, or suspends the packet detector if an AGC process is required.
