Abstract: Metal(s) (including various alloys, such as INCONEL(R) superalloys) are characterized by having carbon disposed within the metal lattice structure thereof. The carbon is primarily, or entirely, present at interstitial sites of the metal lattice, and may be present in amounts ranging from about 1.5 wt % to about 90 wt %. Carbon may be present in the form of graphene, which may be characterized as one or more coherent, planar layers of graphene. The carbon, moreover, forms non-polar covalent bonds with both metal atoms of the lattice and other carbon atoms present in the lattice. This facilitates substantially homogeneous dispersal of the carbon throughout the resultant material, conveying unique and advantageous properties such as strength-to-weight ratio, density, mechanical toughness, sheer strength, flex strength, hardness, anti-corrosiveness, electrical and/or thermal conductivity, etc. as described herein. In some approaches, the composition of matter may be powderized, or the powder may be pelletized.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to generating telecommunication network measurements. In one aspect, a method includes presenting, by a client device, a digital component that, when interacted with, initiates a call by the client device to a phone number specified by the digital component. A trusted program stores, in a presentation event data structure, a presentation event data element specifying the phone number and resource locator for a reporting system to which reports for the digital component are sent. The trusted program detects a phone call by the client device to a given phone number. The given phone number is compared to one or more presentation event data elements stored in the presentation event data structure. A determination is made that the given phone number matches the phone number specified by the digital component. In response, an event report is transmitted to the reporting system.

In one aspect, a method includes receiving a rendering notification and a declaration of a rendered element defined in an active window on a client device, detecting interaction with the rendered element at the client device, determining whether the interaction occurred at a declared location of the rendered element within the active window, and processing the interaction including: in response to determining that the interaction occurred: capturing a screenshot of the active window on the client device; verifying a visual appearance of the rendered element in the screenshot with a declared appearance of the rendered element, and generating an interaction attestation, thereby validating the interaction. In response to determining that the interaction did not occur, refraining from generating the interaction attestation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting errors that can occur in third party content presentation and verifying that third party content provided by a content provider to a content platform is actually displayed and is visible to the user when the content platform is accessed on the client device. Methods can include receiving, from an application executing on a client device, a request to generate a digitally signed token that is used to validate whether a particular content item displayed at the particular portion of the display is a third party content item. A digital watermark embedded at the particular portion of the display can be extracted and decoded to obtain data for attributes that are descriptive of the particular content item. A digitally signed token can be generated using this data, and the token can then be provided to application.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to generating location event measurements. In one aspect, a method includes presenting, by a client device, a digital component comprising geofence data that defines one or more physical locations corresponding to the digital component. In response to presenting the digital component, a trusted program of the client device stores, in a presentation event data structure, a presentation event data element specifying the geofence data. The trusted program detects, based on location information indicating a current location of the client device and the geofence data that the client device is within one of the one or more physical locations. In response to detecting that the client device is within one of the one or more physical locations, an event report is transmitted to a reporting system for the digital component. The event report indicates that a location event for the digital component has occurred.
