Memristor Nano Memory Passive Power Device

Christensen G., Hong H., Younes H., Bailey C., Novum Nano, US

A non-volatile memory circuit that has one or more of the following features was created and patented : (a) a logic source, and (b) a semi-conductive device being electrically coupled to the logic source, having [...]

Fast COVID-19 diagnosis with deep learning and chest X-rays: from toy datasets to clinical applications

Dias S.D., Lopes P.E.M., FastCompChem, Lda, PT

Accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 infection is a crucial tool to identify and control the spread of the disease. Current frontline technology, based on Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), can depend on getting an adequate [...]

Benefits of a Decentralized AI

Bergstrom M., Internet of Everything Corporation, US

The benefits of AI can not be contested, but today’s AI solutions are based on the need of transporting the problem data to a centralized crunch facility on the internet, a so called cloud computing [...]

Application of Machine Learning and Swarm Intelligence to Wastewater Treatment

, Cascade Clean Energy, Inc., US

Swarm intelligence (SI) is a branch of artificial intelligence, which has been existing in nature among grouping and activities of animals, birds, ants, fish or even microbes. Swarm Intelligence is the collective behavior of decentralized, [...]

The coming revolution in materials informatics and artificial intelligence

Ramsey D., Mulholland G., Citrine Informatics, US

Artificial Intelligence (AI) or ‘pervasive computing’ is the next foundational technology revolution that will reshape how we work, live, and organize our societies. Citrine is helping architect this world of the future by creating standards, [...]

Robust Fingerprint Identification System Using Backpropagation and ART Neural Networks

Ilumoka A.A., Talluri M., Eng M., UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD, US

This paper describes a robust minutiae-based fingerprint identification method suitable for use in small populations. System employs two serially connected neural networks in which fingerprint feature extraction is carried out by the first network – [...]

Smart, Intelligent and Cogent Microsensors – Intelligence for Sensors and Sensors for Intelligence

Gaura E., Newman R.M., Coventry University, UK

The paper develops a terminology to describe sensors which have been enhanced in some way by the integration of some additional processing circuitry. Several terms, current in the literature, including 'smart sensors' and 'intelligent sensors' [...]

System Issues in Arrays of Autonomous Intelligent Sensors

Newman R.M., Gaura E.I., Conventry University, UK

This paper considers some of the systems level issues of concerned when building of large scale sensing systems composed of a large number of autonomous intelligent sensors. The work is motivated by the potential offered [...]

Microsensors, Arrays and Automatic Diagnosis of Sensor Faults

Gaura E., Newman R.M., Coventry University, UK

As man-made dynamical systems become increasingly complex, there is an ever-present need to ensure their safe and reliable operation [1]. These requirements extend beyond the normally accepted safety-critical systems (e.g. nuclear reactors, chemical plants, and [...]
