HYBRID COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS (optical hybrid computing devices G06E3/00)

Description

G06J covers computing systems that combine analog and digital processing components to perform calculations or control functions. These hybrid arrangements integrate continuous variable analog circuits with discrete-state digital logic to leverage the advantages of both technologies, such as analog's speed in signal processing and digital's precision and flexibility. Typical applications include control systems, real-time data processing, and scientific computation where both analog and digital processing are essential. This subclass excludes purely analog computing devices (G06E) and purely digital computing systems (G06F).
