ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,657,440, issued on June 16, was assigned to ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE (Daejeon, South Korea).

"Spiking neural network and neuron clock generating method thereof" was invented by Younghwan Bae (Daejeon, South Korea).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed is a spiking neural network which transfers a spike packet between neuron cores. The spiking neural network includes two-dimensional mesh routers that respectively correspond to the plurality of neuron cores and each of which outputs an idle signal based on a state of an input buffer or an output buffer in which the spike packet is stored, a gate circuit that ...
