High temperature superconductor neurocomputing

Abstract A super-triode designed for optical sensing has a radiation grid along the major c-axis, orthogonal to the superconducting plane where cathode and anode supercurrents crossflow each other in a highway overpass architecture. By design, the overpass anode current occludes the radiation from the underpass cathode current, with their resistance ratio producing a sensitive, single photon sensing capability. A neurocomputer designed to operate at a high speed has a double layer architecture for feedback control, similar to the adaptive resonance theory for self-clustering pattern classification. The super-triode focal plane array also has many advantages over traditional CCD arrays in the field of imaging. The point-by-point direct and dense read-out supports a wave front sampling instantaneously, which exhibits the direction finding capability, as well as the possibility of wave-front correction for sharper image formation when coupled in situ with a neurocomputer.
