Title: Alastair D McAulay: Innovator in Optical Computing
Introduction
Alastair D McAulay is a notable inventor based in Kettering, OH (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of optical computing, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on innovative methods and apparatuses that enhance data processing and retrieval through optical technologies.
Latest Patents
One of McAulay's latest patents is a "Method and apparatus for operating a bit-slice keyword access optical." This invention operates an optical memory to perform bit-slice associative memory operations by storing a plurality of unique keywords to define a keyword database. The database can be accessed using one of the keywords, allowing for efficient data retrieval. The operation involves identifying a keyword's location within the memory, which is then used as a retrieval mask to access the keywords. The optical paths can be optimized through dual-rail coding and polarization techniques.
Another significant patent is for "Spatial light rebroadcaster optical computing cells." This invention constructs optical computing cells or logic cells using two or more spatial light rebroadcasters (SLR's). Data in the form of light is written into and read from the SLR's, which are controlled to process the data effectively. These logic cells are particularly suited for constructing optical subsystems for digital optical computers and can perform various operations within an optical computer.
