Isn't this infringing the recent patent of Neurala? http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=H...

I don't see how the patent office didn't just google for 30 seconds...

Maybe the patent has interesting twists and turns, but applying known algorithms on previously known architectures doesn't seem like the innovation that they should hand out protection for 17 years.
