So I went ahead and filed a provisional patent application for my analog trigonometry engine for use in calculating theta using offset varactors on sinusoidal waveforms generated by crystal oscillators.
It's not appropriate for a GPU, but in edge devices (satellites, automobile active suspensions, airbag relays, implant BP monitoring, cochlear implants, rockets, missiles, sonar, utilities system protection devices like relays and transfer trip schemes, distribution automation, bluetooth headphones...anywhere you see sinusoids being processed and it's hard to get power and where latency is crucial, my tech wins.
My device offers latency in the tens of microseconds (rather than milliseconds), enhanced precision, and is RAD hardened and resistant to EMI as a matter of course (no microprocessors). I believe this tech can make satellites smaller and more agile, take Electronic Warfare to the next level (instantaneous jamming/spoofing), improve phased array radars with better coordination between elements, and double or more the rate of fire on a rail gun by coordinating between magnetic elements. Latency is cut by a factor of 5 or more and you get higher accuracy and precision (up to you, really).
Grok helped me put together the reduction to practice. Yes, xAI and Grok were under NDA, and no Grok does not use private conversations for training nor will it do any other form of disclosure. That being said, I always recommend inventors secure a patent attorney first.
HOWEVER Grok was a godsend when it came to the busy-work. Shopping lists instantly in hand, guidance on forms, ins and outs of microelectronics was far less the issue. Where I wouldn't follow Grok's instruction is in writing code or editing it, the layer between what Grok is thinking and what the user hears isn't so permeable, and Grok often can't remember what it was doing in prior steps.
Last week I was unemployed, this week I'm CEO and my company goes live just as soon as I hear back from the good folks from the State Of Delaware about my LLC. Next week, Dietrich Analog Solutions LLC is a go and I start trolling for billionaires.
I don't know if I'll make any money. But there's a lot to be made and I think I can make a lot
