Team and Member Introduction:
HiMax Group: Communication and Information Sciences,
UH Manoa– Develop and research applications using the Cognimem Chip.
Department of Electrical Engineering - UH Manoa– Develop and research baseline characteristic of the CogniMem
Neural Processor.– Create hardware and develop software
for baseline characterization.

Project Overview:
This technology is fairly new, so we propose to develop:
1. Procedures to accurately train the Neural Processor,2. Baselines for "high-level confidence" for pattern
recognition for a given physical environment.3. (For follow-on X96 Project), an application that uses
the CogniMem Neural processor, with a "built-in" camera, as an autonomous pointer that identifies any painting / object in a museum setting. The camera, then can be used to communicate to an ultra portable PC via broadband that gathers information about the identified painting.

Project Background:
CogniMem 1K Specs- Patented parallel
architecture- 1024 Parallel neurons- Unlimited neural network
expansion- Trained by example- Low power consumption

Approach:
Fabricate a mini-museum setting that includes a picture inside a frame that enables us to test the CogniMem processor/camera pattern recognition (imaging) capabilities.
Develop a program that trains the CogniMem camera to identify and view images from any angle, orientation and distance.

Problems:
Hardware and software has only been recently developed and product knowledge is still limited at this time.
– Help can easily be attained from Research Assistants within the HiMax Group.
– Weekly meetings
Hardware is very expensive and reacquiring a new chip and camera may take a long time.
– Take special care of equipment.– Backup Device

End of Semester Project Goals:
Our projected goals are: To develop "high-confidence level"
characterization of the CogniMem processor with respect to distance, orientation, and image complexity.
Have a working device for a museum application.
