Neural Processor Packs.

Neural Data Packs Also known as Neural-Gel Packs.

Designer: Lorath Psionics R&D
Manufacture: Lorath Psionics Energy Supply and Genetic Labs production division.
Intended Use: Data storage and processing.

Information: The Neural Data Packs are intended to be used to process and store electronic data. The packs are comprised of organic matter that is genetically engineered for its intended use.

Technical Information: The Neural Data Packs are intended to be used as a processor and storage device, the packs are built similar to a Lorath's brain matter, the backbone to the creation of the packs are strains of Lorath DNA, the DNA is manipulated into only being brain matter information then is cloned repeatedly. Through the use of genetic engineering the brain matter's ability to process information and store information is increased by manipulating the use and efficiency of the protein based processing and storage. The input of data to the neural packs is conducted by a series of micro-pulses of electrical transmissions intended to mimic the pulses of electricity in the Lorath brain. With the use of a series of electrical transformers, the electrical impulses transmitted through the neural packs can be stepped down to prevent damage to the packs, and the transmissions from the packs can be stepped up to be more easily read by standard electrical devices. The packs also will have a buffer built into them that prevents harmful electrical surges and data from entering the packs and damaging them. The structure of the packs is quite simple, a plastic like bag is used to contain the neural matter and protect it from external interference. A series of small tubes and microscopic wires are fed into the bag and provide basic nutrition and electrical impulses to stimulate the tissues, and also transmit and receive data. The bag, tubes, and wires are attached to a module that varies in size dependant upon the application, the module usually measures the same width and length of the bag of matter, the height is usually only a few inches. The whole assembly is placed inside of a "shoeboxâ€

I think it'd need more food.

 

[DocTomoe]

Due to the packs containing only brain like matter, and the only use for the nutrients being the regeneration of cell structures and sustaining the chemical balances of the brain tissues and not the application of the nutrients to energy. the given ammount of nutrients lasts for a much longer ammount of time, and also with a proper mixture of raw nutrients a single "feeding" would allow for a very long span of function due to the nutrients only being required for a mere fraction of what a normal brain with body would need them for. Also with the added genetic modifications allows for more efficiency in the use of any nutrients and the extended function of cells and tissues without "food" resources.

Also, with a constant feed of organic matter from atmospheric sources, such as airborne bacteria, carbon molecules, microscopic insects like dust mites, and dust containing skin cells and various other organic polution, there would be a rather constant stream of key nutrients such as protein and carbon that make up a bulk of organic structures.

The human brain is a huge glucose hog--I don't see why this would be any different, especially since it's presumably faster and doing more intense work.

Edited the times between feedings and the feeding method.

APproved, but note that temperature variance will be able to adversely affect it.

 

[DocTomoe]

Thus why the unit is placed into a containment unit, it would prevent any drastic temp changes, at least natural ones... woulden't do much for a plasma weapon hitting it, or an explosion right ontop of it, but it will prevent any really severe and abrupt effects. ^_^;

Organic data storage, very cool.
