Biologically inspired distributed machine cognition: a new formal approach to hyperparallel computation [PDF]
The irresistable march toward multiple-core chip technology presents currently intractable pdrogramming challenges. High level mental processes in many animals, and their analogs for social structures, appear similarly massively parallel, and recent ...

Solar energy conversion through the interaction of plasmons with tunnel junctions. Part A: Solar cell analysis. Part B: Photoconductor analysis [PDF]
A solar cell utilizing guided optical waves and tunnel junctions was analyzed to determine its feasibility. From this analysis, it appears that the limits imposed upon conventional multiple cell systems also limit this solar cell. Due to this limitation,

Differential KO-theory: constructions, computations, and applications
We provide a systematic and detailed treatment of differential refinements of KO-theory. We explain how various flavors capture geometric aspects in different but related ways, highlighting the utility of each. While general axiomatics exist, no explicit

High Efficiency Quantum Well Waveguide Solar Cells and Methods for Constructing the Same [PDF]
Photon absorption, and thus current generation, is hindered in conventional thin-film solar cell designs, including quantum well structures, by the limited path length of incident light passing vertically through the device.

ON GRADED STRONGLY 1-ABSORBING PRIMARY IDEALS AND GRADED 2-ABSORBING I-PRIMARY IDEALS
Given a group G with identity element e and a G-graded commutative ring R with unity 1. This paper introduces a new concept, namely, graded strongly 1-absorbing primary ideals, which is a subclass of the graded 1-absorbing primary ideals. A proper graded ideal I of R is said to be a graded strongly 1-absorbing primary ideal of R if whenever non-unit ...
