Rainbow Technologies Inc. has completed the acquisition of the Torrance-based maker of a controversial computer encoding device, executives said Thursday.
The modern (digital) computer encodes both data and instructions as sequences of digits, and it allows for the internal storage of instructions.
The Weizmann DNA computer encodes both the software and the data in the four letters of the genetic code, A, C, G and T. The "hardware," the part of the computer that does not change, is an enzyme that cuts the strands of DNA in a particular way.
For the past year or so, Jarvis has been working with Dr. Nick Goldman of the European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge, England to develop an art project using Dr. Goldman's recently developed technology that encodes information onto DNA much like a computer encodes information to a hard drive.
Others hope to create optical quantum computers, encoding qubits into the quantum states of photons, or to make qubits from tiny specks of semiconducting material called quantum dots.
Summing up this view, it supposedly follows from the fact that modern (digital) computers encode every kind of information in the same way i.e., as a sequence of binary digits that an artwork that crucially relies in its production on computer processing is no longer defined by its mode of presentation, whether in images, moving images, sound patterns, or text.
Classical computers encode information as a series of bits, which can be either 0 or 1, and then manipulate those bits according to simple rules.
Classical computers encode information in binary form as a sequence of ones and zeros, whereas quantum computers use quantum bits—or "qubits"—which can effectively encode one and zero at the same time.
Arrizon, V., Ruiz, U., Carrada, R. & Gonzalez, L. A. Pixelated phase computer holograms for the accurate encoding of scalar complex fields.
Depending on the length of the file(s) and the speed of your computer, the encoding can happen instantaneously or it can take minutes.
The computer tool GNA has been extended to export the symbolic encoding of PADE models in the NuSMV language (Cimatti et al., 2002).
