▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - The cellular automata assembly comprises a first basic cell comprising a first graphene layer used to induce a first coupling field distribution, and a second basic cell that is positioned adjacent to the first basic cell and comprises a second graphene layer used to induce a second coupling field distribution. The first and second basic cells interact to each other by the first and second coupling field distributions to determine a logic state of the signal. The first graphene layer forms a first carbon nanotube, and the second graphene layer forms a second carbon nanotube. USE - The cellular automata assembly is useful in an electronic device for processing a signal (all claimed), where the signal processing includes signal propagation and signal manipulation. ADVANTAGE - The cellular automata assembly reliably, easily and efficiently processes the signal with high speed and low power consumption and without tunneling and quantum effects, and has high superior design flexibility and increased functionality. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The cellular automata assembly comprises a first basic cell comprising a first graphene layer used to induce a first coupling field distribution, and a second basic cell that is positioned adjacent to the first basic cell and comprises a second graphene layer used to induce a second coupling field distribution. The first and second basic cells interact to each other by the first and second coupling field distributions to determine a logic state of the signal. The first graphene layer forms a first carbon nanotube, and the second graphene layer forms a second carbon nanotube. The cellular automata assembly further comprises a first electrical charge adhering to the first graphene layer, a second electrical charge adhering to the second graphene layer, and a basic cell configured to interact with the first and/or second basic cells. Each of the first and second electrical charges is carried by a string of hydrogen ions and a string of oxygen ions. Each of the first and second graphene layers comprises non-planar layer portions to receive an electrical charge. Some of the non-planar layer portions contain a movable electrical charge. The first and second basic cells further comprise first and second planar graphene base layers, respectively and first and second magnetic pole pairs (502A). The second basic cell further comprises a second planar graphene base layer and first and second magnetic pole pairs. The first and second graphene layers and the first and second planar graphene base layers are arranged to form local energy minimums for the electrical charge in the non-planar layer portions. The electrical charge is carried by an electronegative molecule or an ion. The first and second graphene layers are provided as graphene ribbons. A portion of the graphene ribbons is wound to induce a magnetic field when inducing a current flow (513A) through the graphene ribbons and wound around a ferromagnetic object. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an electronic device for processing a signal. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic view a basic cell and a corresponding assembly.
