Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100117165DEPOSITION OF LAYERS OF POROUS MATERIALS, LAYERS THUS OBTAINED AND DEVICES CONTAINING THEM - The present invention describes a process for the deposition of one or more layers of zeolites on rigid supports of various natures and geometry, particularly on silicon wafers. The coating containing zeolites is characterised by pore sizes ranging from 1 Angstrom to a few nanometer units. The deposition process does not interfere with and/or alter the correct functioning of the electronic devices (diodes, bipolar junction transistors, field effect transistors and electronic amplifiers in general) already integrated on the support to be coated on which said deposition is effected. The process according to the invention can be applied to electronic devices and permits their unaltered correct functioning.05-13-2010

20090132451Prediction by Single Neurons and Networks - An artificial neuron integrates current and prior information, each of which predicts the state of a part of the world. The neuron's output corresponds to the discrepancy between the two predictions, or prediction error. Inputs contributing prior information are selected in order to minimize the error, which can occur through an anti-Hebbian-type plasticity rule. Current information sources are selected to maximize errors, which can occur through a Hebbian-type rule. This insures that the neuron receives new information from its external world that is not redundant with the prior information that the neuron already possesses. By learning on its own to make predictions, a neuron or network of these neurons acquires information necessary to generate intelligent and advantageous outputs.05-21-2009
20100198765PREDICTION BY SINGLE NEURONS - Associative plasticity rules are described to control the strength of inputs to an artificial neuron. Inputs to a neuron consist of both synaptic inputs and non-synaptic, voltage-regulated inputs. The neuron's output is voltage. Hebbian and anti-Hebbian-type plasticity rules are implemented to select amongst a spectrum of voltage-regulated inputs, differing in their voltage-dependence and kinetic properties. An anti-Hebbian-type rule selects inputs that predict and counteract deviations in membrane voltage, thereby generating an output that corresponds to a prediction error. A Hebbian-type rule selects inputs that predict and amplify deviations in membrane voltage, thereby contributing to pattern generation. In further embodiments, Hebbian and anti-Hebbian-type plasticity rules are also applied to synaptic inputs. In other embodiments, reward information is incorporated into Hebbian-type plasticity rules. It is envisioned that by following these plasticity rules, single neurons as well as networks may predict and maximize future reward.08-05-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090257470CONTACTLESS DEVICE FOR MEASURING OPERATING PARAMETERS OF ROTORS OF HIGH-SPEED ROTARY MACHINES - A contactless device for measuring at least the temperature of a rotor of a high-speed rotary machine, in particular a turbomolecular vacuum pump, comprises at least one magnetic capsule mounted on the rotor of the pump. The capsule comprises a permanent magnet and at least one pastille of ferromagnetic material having a Curie temperature slightly higher than a maximum temperature to be measured. The magnetic permeability of this material strongly depends on temperature. The pastille is intended to alter the magnetic field generated by the magnet. A detector carried by the stator of the pump generates pulses representative of the magnetic field varying with the rotor temperature, generated by the capsule, whenever the latter passes in front of the detector.10-15-2009
