For entrepreneurs looking for an opportunity

MUSIC IN THE DATA
As stated by the Fourier Theorem, every sound or vibration is composed of one or more intermingled
sinusoidal waves  ("notes"). It is possible to recognize data by identifying their component waves.This is done
in  a frequency spectrum analyzer.

KEEPING IT SIMPLE
The current methods of frequency spectrum analysis, based on the Fourier transform, are not practical
for many applications. The attendant complexities and problems include timing, windowing, latency and scaling
(frequencies are plotted on a linear rather than a logarithmic scale), etc. They require a lot of computing power.
 

 Nature' s   COCHLEA
Analyzes sounds in the middle ear. Approximates a bank of (approximately) 8,000 resonators.

RayVan' s ARTIFICIAL COCHLEA
A  patented neural engine; simple, no latency. Does for machines what the cochlea does for the brain.

RayVan' s HARDWARE
No special skill needed. All the necessary circuits could fit in a pack of cigarettes. Imagine an augmented RAM
with an extra input -- the digital stream (audio, etc.) to be analyzed. A neural input clock must also be supplied
in order to control the range of  input frequencies. There are two outputs for each frequency channel, one for
phase and one for quadrature. (Magnitude values can also be obtained.) Click here for a more complete  list .
 

RayVan' s KILLER APP?
There are many potential  applications for the RayVan Artifical Cochlea. Choosing the right one is absolutely critical
at the start of a new business. A prime example of a potential commerical first product is the  RayVan Minilab ,
the versatile tool that was used for testing the RayVan Artificial Cochlea and experimenting with various
applications.  At the present time the RayVan Minilab is used to demonstrate what can be done  in the
area of cardiac data acquisition. Starter kits such as manufacturers provide to acquaint the public with a new
product or technology will also be considered.
