Patent ID: 7392230

Claim:
An electromechanical liquid state machine utilizing nanotechnology, comprising: at least one pre-synaptic electrode and at least one post-synaptic electrode having a connection gap therebetween; a liquid dielectric solution comprising a mixture of a plurality of nanoconductors and a liquid dielectric solvent, wherein said plurality of nanoconductors are located in and free to move about within said liquid dielectric solution, said liquid dielectric solution disposed in said connection gap between said at least one pre-synaptic electrode and said at least one post-synaptic electrode; and a mechanism for applying an electric field across said connection gap, said mechanism electrically connected to said at least one pre-synaptic electrode and said at least one post-synaptic electrode, whereby said electric field induces a dipole in each nanoconductor among said plurality of nanoconductors only when said plurality of nanoconductors is located within said liquid dielectric solution, thereby aligning said plurality of nanoconductors within said liquid dielectric solution and attracting said plurality of nanoconductors to said connection gap in order to provide to neural network nanoconnections of a connection network between said at least one pre-synaptic electrode and said at least one post-synaptic electrode within said liquid dielectric solution, said connection network, said liquid dielectric solution, said plurality of nanoconductors, said at least one pre-synaptic electrode and said at least one post-synaptic electrodes electromechanically operable in combination with one another to comprise said electromechanical-based liquid state machine, wherein at least one neural circuit thereof comprises a plurality of neural network connections and at least one perceptron adjusting at least one synaptic weight to produce a predetermined output, which stores via patterns of neural activations of said neural network nanoconnections, a recent past history of said electromechanical-based liquid state machine.
