In some examples, a device includes a first processing core comprising a resistive memory array to perform an analog computation, and a digital processing core comprising a digital memory programmable with different values to perform different computations responsive to respective different conditions. The device further includes a controller to selectively apply input data to the first processing core and the digital processing core.

Systems and methods are provided for encrypting data in a memristor array. The data may be scrambled by multiplying an input data unit by another data unit, by multiplying each element of a first data unit by a different instance of a second data unit. The process continues until all elements of the first data unit are multiplied by a different instance of the second data unit. The elements of the data units may be represented by resistive values of a memristor array. The result of all of the above multiplication of different instances of the second data unit are a new set of data units. All of the resulting data units are added together by adding the currents associated with values of the memristors representing the resulting data units. The operation may be performed as a finite field computation, with the memristor array.

Spirulina infused gummies containing micronutrients for consumption by a person to deliver beneficial and necessary nutrients to the person and a method of preparing spirulina infused gummies to eliminate the bad odor and taste normally associated with spirulina. The gummies have pectin, water, citric acid, sugar and/or glucose and spirulina. Preservatives and flavor additives can also be included. The method of making the gummies includes heating a mixture of citric acid and water, adding pectin and sugar to the mixture and then stirring, adding hot glucose to the mixture, stirring the mixture and allowing the mixture to cool, adding spirulina to the mixture followed by continuous stirring, adding additional citric acid to the mixture, stirring until jellification begins, pouring the mixture into molds and removing the mixture from the molds when cool. Preferably, a preservative and a flavor additive are added to the mixture prior to the additional citric acid.

Systems and methods for providing write process optimization for memristors are described. Write process optimization circuitry manipulates the memristor's write operation, allowing the number of cycles in the write process is reduced. Write process optimization circuitry can include write current integration circuitry that measures an integral of a write current over time. The write optimization circuitry can also include shaping circuitry. The shaping circuitry can shape a write pulse, by determining the pulse's termination, width, and slope. The write pulse is shaped depending upon whether the target memristor device exhibits characteristics of 'maladroit' cells or 'adroit' cells. The pulse shaping circuitry uses the integral and measured write current to terminate the write pulse in a manner that allows the memristor, wherein having maladroit cells and adroit cells, to reach a target state. Thus, utility of memristors is enhanced by realizing an optimized write process with decrease latency and improved efficiency.
