System And Mathod For Parameter Multiplexed Gradient Descent

NIST Inventors
Adam McCaughan , Sonia Buckley and Andrew Dienstfrey
Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and model-free methods for perturbing neural network hardware parameters and measure the neural network response that are implemented natively within the neural network hardware and without requiring a knowledge of the internal structure of the
Diagram showing the circuit for resetting the Spectral Power Distribution (SPD) after the Light Emitting Diode (LED) has emitted a photonic pulse.

Superconducting Opto-Electronic Transmitter Circuit

NIST Inventors
Sonia Buckley and Adam McCaughan
This invention describes a family of circuits that receive an input current or voltage pulse when a superconducting element has been driven above threshold, producing an amplified current or voltage pulse to drive a light source, and reset to the resting state after light has been generated.

Thermal Impedance Amplifier

NIST Inventors
Adam McCaughan , Varun Verma and Sonia Buckley
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

Neuromimetic Circuit

NIST Inventors
Sonia Buckley
Optoelectronic neural networks comprise a system of interconnected processing units (neurons) interconnected by integrated photonic waveguides. The processing units receive photonic signals from other units. Each unit sums the received signals on a waveguide-integrated photon detector, and when the
