ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is presented for synthesizing a network for use with pulse frequency encoded signals that has a smoothly saturating transfer characteristic for large signals based on the use of delay and an OR-gate. When connected to the output of a pulse frequency type of neuron, it results in a sigmoidal activation function.
