I think he should build something anyway. We learn so much more from doing than from just reading about doing.
The OP will not identify the conceptual model of the synapse or Neural Network that might use the component.MeaningfromForm said:I believe its possible to design an analog neural network that can out perform a digital representation. Ofcourse if I can build it all, my first version won't out perform anything, but maybe after I build it, I can build it again, faster, with smaller components. Kind of like how vacuum tubes advanced.
Also I have an invention idea whoch requires a neural network that can be trained very fast, and very responsive.
The OP also admits that someone else has already invented the idea. But it is still kept a secret to PF.MeaningfromForm said:Nope it looks like what I wanted to create has already been invented so it's kind of pointless to continue, besides, I live in Edmonton Canada and I wouldn't be willing to share my idea with someone unless it was in person anyways...
Thank you everyone for the ideas, keywords to research and suggestions. Perhaps I will come back in the future and revisit this when I have a better understanding of the technical aspects.

At least you have a patent.jim hardy said:US7177383 is my $15K 'vanity press' misadventure .. Never again.
The problem of international asymmetry in patent law cuts both ways. For example, a US citizen could provide a signed statement, without proof or evidence to the US patent office that stated they were working on an invention before a foreign registered patent priority date. Preferred treatment to US citizens prevents some foreign patents in the USA.CraigHB said:A lot of the theft of IP occurs in China where US patents are not enforce-able.
