Abstract
A signal processing device (1) includes a first medium (2), a second medium (3) and a lipid interface (4) arranged between the first medium and the second medium. The lipid interface includes multiple lipid molecules (5). An input transducer (8) is arranged to apply an input signal to the lipid interface to generate a mechanical pulse in the lipid interface. An output transducer (9) is arranged to receive an output signal by detecting a mechanical response (14) in the lipid interface from the mechanical pulse generated in the lipid interface by the input transducer.
Claims19
A signal processing device comprising:
- an input transducer comprising electrodes arranged to apply an input signal to a lipid interface, the lipid interface having a thickness and being arranged between a first medium and a second medium, wherein the lipid interface comprises a plurality of lipid molecules;
- wherein the input signal comprises one of:
- a) a voltage difference applied across the thickness of the lipid interface;
- and,
- b) a current flow through the thickness of the lipid interface,
- wherein, when applied to the lipid interface by the input transducer, the input signal generates a mechanical pulse in the lipid interface;
- and the signal processing device further comprises
- an output transducer arranged to receive an output signal by detecting a mechanical response in the lipid interface from the mechanical pulse generated in the lipid interface by the input transducer;
- and,
- wherein the lipid interface is arranged to propagate the mechanical pulse from the input transducer via the lipid interface to the output transducer.
