Abstract: Systems and methods provide new circuits that increase aCAM precision by leveraging the concept of range segmenting to representationally store an analog voltage range across multiple aCAM cells/sub-circuits (here the representationally stored analog voltage range may correspond to a word entry). In this way, a circuit of the presently disclosed technology can increase precision (e.g., the number of programmable levels that can be used to store a word entry and/or the number of programmable levels that an input signal can be search against) linearly with each aCAM cell/sub-circuit added to the circuit. Accordingly, circuits of the presently disclosed technology can be used to carry out more complex computations than conventional aCAMs—and thus can be used in a wider range of computational applications.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides to a novel continuous processing method to prepare sheets comprising cellulose nanofibril (CNF) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Single screw extrusion was utilized to continuously process mechanically fibrillated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) into sheets. Water-retention ability and stability of CNF suspensions containing different processing aids was assessed through centrifugation and zeta potential analysis. Subsequently, highly loaded pastes (up to ˜25 wt. % total solids content) containing the best performing processing aids (carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), xanthan gum (XG), and anionic polyacrylamide (aPAM)) and CNF were prepared using a Brabender with Banbury mixer-head at a dry weight ratio of either 0.1 to 1 or 0.15 to 1, respectively. Validation of the mixing procedure proved that highly loaded CNF pastes can be processed in under 40 minutes, saving up to 40 days in preparation and drying time.
