11704588 · 2023-07-18 · ·

Apparatus and method for injected spin echo sequences in a quantum processor. For example, one embodiment of a processor includes a decoder to decode quantum instructions to generate quantum microoperations (uops) and to decode non-quantum instructions to generate non-quantum uops, execution circuitry to execute the quantum uops and non-quantum uops, and a corrective sequence data structure to identify and/or store corrective sets of uops for one or more of the quantum instructions. The decoder is to query the corrective sequence data structure upon receiving a first quantum instruction to determine if one or more corrective uops exist, and if the one or more corrective uops exist, the decoder is to submit the one or more corrective uops for execution by the execution circuitry.

20230214105 · 2023-07-06 ·

A multimedia content editing controller includes a microcontroller, a data storage device, a display device and a function selection device. The microcontroller receives plural editing function options from an external computer host. The plural editing function options are stored in the data storage device. The plural editing function options are displayed on the display device. When a user performs at least one function selection operation through the function selection device, the microcontroller determines at least one selected editing function option from the plural editing function options, and the microcontroller generates a human-machine interaction control signal. The at least one selected editing function option is transmitted from the microcontroller to the external computer host. The human-machine interaction control signal is transmitted to at least one of the display device and a LED display module.

Implementing logic gate functionality using a blockchain

The invention presents a solution in which blockchain Transactions are created to implement the functionality of a logic gate. The invention may be implemented on the Bitcoin platform or an alternative blockchain platform. The transaction includes a locking script which comprises instructions selected so as to implement the functionality of a logic gate, such as the XOR gate. When the script is executed (because a second transaction is attempting to spend the output associated with the locking script) the inputs will be processed by the conditional instructions to provide an output of TRUE or FALSE. The inputs are pre-processed by one or more computing agents so that they are evaluated to TRUE or FASLE prior to being used as inputs to the script. The second transaction is transmitted to the blockchain network for validation and, if determined to be valid, it will be written to the blockchain. Validation of the second transaction can be interpreted as a TRUE output. Thus, the locking script of the first transaction provides the functionality of the desired logic gate. The invention provides numerous advantages and can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as for the implementation of control systems and unit.
