This paper describes Evolvable Hardware (EHW) chips and their industrial applications. EHW refers to hardware devices that can adjust their circuit structure to adapt to varying environments. Unlike traditional hardware, EHW is capable of autonomously changing its functionality whilst operating in a real environment, and thus represents a major new approach to hardware design and development. In this paper, a number of the applications of EHW currently under development at the Electrotechnical Lab. are introduced, and, in particular, a data compression EHW chip for electrophotographic printers, which has achieved compression ratios twice those of the international standard methods, is described in some detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
