Electronic neural circuit including at least one pre-neuron having an output voltage VA, and at least one post-neuron that are linked by at least one excitatory synapse having at least one switching input, wherein the excitatory synapse is supplied with power by the output VA, and receives, on its switching input, a switching signal VAwhose state is complementary to that of the output VA.

Switched artificial synapse

A microstrip-type microwave sensor for the measurement of the dielectric properties of a solid or liquid material, constituted by a main line and two connected transmission lines integral at one of their extremities to the main line, the main line and two connected transmission lines being spaced from one another by a slot and being made integral with a substrate. The main line is connected to an electrical circuit by each of its two extremities to inject a sinusoidal signal, and wherein said main line has a width giving it an impedance in the range 50 Ohm, the two connected transmission lines being of the same width and of a length equal to one quarter of the wavelength guided in the substrate, the substrate having a height or thickness giving it flexibility or rigidity, the substrate being applied to a metallic support formed of a layer of metallic material.

Microstrip-type microwave sensor

An artificial neuron including: a membrane capacitor; an input of an external synaptic excitation in current, the membrane capacitor integrating the input current; a negative-feedback impulse circuit, supplied by a power supply at a negative voltage between &#x2212;200 mV and 0 mV and at a positive voltage between 0 mV and +200 mV, including: a bridge based on pMOS and nMOS transistors in series and linked by a midpoint to the membrane capacitor, the midpoint defining the output of the artificial neuron, at least one delay capacitor between the gate and the source of one of the transistors of the bridge, at least two CMOS inverters between the membrane capacitor and the gates of the transistors of the bridge.

Artificial neuron

An optical sensor, especially an artificial retina, that includes at least one photosensitive cell. Each cell includes a integration capacitor, a read circuit the operation of which depends on the charge of the integration capacitor, at least one MOS transistor operating subthreshold, and the drain-source current of which influences the charge on the integration capacitor, and at least one photodiode operating in photovoltaic mode and connected to the gate of this transistor, such that the drain-source current of the MOS transistor depends on the optical power received by the photodiode.

Optical sensor

A wireless data transmitter including: a data modulator adapted to modulate a data signal based on a frequency signal; and at least one antenna adapted to wirelessly transmit the modulated data signal and the frequency signal independently.
