AND Corporation was incorporated in 1992. AND Corporation developed Holographic Neural Technology (HNeT)[1][2], the technology based upon complex-valued phase coherence/decoherence principles in the emulation of neurological learning and function. The company has been active primarily in the object recognition and biometrics application areas. AND Corporation is based in Toronto, Canada.

[edit] Origin

In 1992 the Wiley Series on Sixth Generation Computing Technologies published the book “Fuzzy, Holographic and Parallel Intelligence, The Sixth Generation Breakthrough” [3] which introduces the technology. The author of the article John Sutherland is the founder of AND Corporation. The technology provides holographic superposition of associative information through digital emulation of wave functions, also called Holographic associative memory. Having recognized the highly advanced learning and storage capacities for associative memories applying these principles, the company received international patents for conversion of information to the complex representation, and application of complex valued inner and outer products in the operation of learning and recall. The technology is analogous to quantum computing with respect to superposition of information [4].

[edit] Products

AND Corporation provides the HNeT Application Development System to government and research institutions on a research basis. The company’s primary business activities center on application development and licensing of the HNeT technology. An example of one applied application area of the HNeT technology is in the biometrics (facial recognition) area where the technology has been licensed to Acsys Biometrics. HNeT provides a full Neuromorphic model of the brain, however is applied principally using simpler substructures based on the cerebellar model.
