Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
A method of operating a trained processor comprised of at least one memory array in which reference signals are stored along with associated trained responses forming a data base to locate and extract a desired output to query signals, which method comprises: a. in a first mode, searching through reference signals stored in a memory array comprising said at least one memory array with a query signal; b. selecting one or more of said reference signals from such memory array according to a first preselected criterion; c. retrieving from such memory array first mode trained responses associated with the reference signals selected according to said first criterion, said first mode trained responses determining the domain of a search to be conducted in a second mode; d. and in said second mode, searching through reference signals stored in a memory array comprising said at least one memory array is determined by said first mode trained responses; e. selecting one or more of said reference signals from such memory array for said query signal according to a second preselected criterion; and f. retrieving from such memory array second mode trained responses associated with the reference signals selected according to said second criterion.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
200 words
A method of operating a trained processor comprised of at least one memory array in which reference signals are stored along with associated trained responses forming a data base to locate and extract a desired output to query signals, which method comprises: a. in a first mode, searching through reference signals stored in a memory array comprising said at least one memory array with a query signal; b. selecting one or more of said reference signals from such memory array according to a first preselected criterion; c. retrieving from such memory array first mode trained responses associated with the reference signals selected according to said first criterion, said first mode trained responses determining the domain of a search to be conducted in a second mode; d. and in said second mode, searching through reference signals stored in a memory array comprising said at least one memory array is determined by said first mode trained responses; e. selecting one or more of said reference signals from such memory array for said query signal according to a second preselected criterion; and f. retrieving from such memory array second mode trained responses associated with the reference signals selected according to said second criterion.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
200 words
A method of operating a trained processor comprised of at least one memory array in which reference signals are stored along with associated trained responses forming a data base to locate and extract a desired output to query signals, which method comprises: a. in a first mode, searching through reference signals stored in a memory array comprising said at least one memory array with a query signal; b. selecting one or more of said reference signals from such memory array according to a first preselected criterion; c. retrieving from such memory array first mode trained responses associated with the reference signals selected according to said first criterion, said first mode trained responses determining the domain of a search to be conducted in a second mode; d. and in said second mode, searching through reference signals stored in a memory array comprising said at least one memory array is determined by said first mode trained responses; e. selecting one or more of said reference signals from such memory array for said query signal according to a second preselected criterion; and f. retrieving from such memory array second mode trained responses associated with the reference signals selected according to said second criterion.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
200 words
A method of operating a trained processor comprised of at least one memory array in which reference signals are stored along with associated trained responses forming a data base to locate and extract a desired output to query signals, which method comprises: a. in a first mode, searching through reference signals stored in a memory array comprising said at least one memory array with a query signal; b. selecting one or more of said reference signals from such memory array according to a first preselected criterion; c. retrieving from such memory array first mode trained responses associated with the reference signals selected according to said first criterion, said first mode trained responses determining the domain of a search to be conducted in a second mode; d. and in said second mode, searching through reference signals stored in a memory array comprising said at least one memory array is determined by said first mode trained responses; e. selecting one or more of said reference signals from such memory array for said query signal according to a second preselected criterion; and f. retrieving from such memory array second mode trained responses associated with the reference signals selected according to said second criterion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said second mode trained responses provide the desired output of the trained processor to said query signals.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said at least one memory array comprises a single tree-structured array, the reference signals stored in said tree-structured array being searched in said first mode and only those reference signals selected during said first mode being searched in said second mode.
