Patent ID: 8085109

Claim:
An electrical signal transformation device, comprising: a planar two dimensional lattice having a first plurality of electrical paths comprising a first plurality of electrical components that are arranged along a first direction in a plane and a second plurality of electrical paths comprising a second plurality of electrical components that are arranged along a second direction in said plane, each of said first and second pluralities of electrical components having a first electrical terminal and a second electrical terminal; each electrical component of said first plurality of electrical components having at least one of said first and second electrical terminals connected to at least one of said first and said second electrical terminals of at least one electrical component of said second plurality of electrical components; a third plurality of electrical components having first and second electrical terminals that are electrically connected between at least some of said first and second electrical terminals of said first and second pluralities of electrical components and a reference voltage source; at least two input signal nodes and at least one output signal node selected from said first and second electrical terminals of said first plurality of electrical elements, said at least two input signal nodes configured to accept input signals representative of a physical phenomenon that is not electrical in nature and said at least one output signal node configured to provide at least one output computed signal representative of an emulation or a transformation of said physical phenomenon.
