Abstract: Techniques for providing a carbon composite component involve providing a first carbon composite layer having carbon fibers extending along the first carbon composite layer. The techniques further involve providing a second carbon composite layer in contact with the first carbon composite layer, the second carbon composite layer having upright carbon fibers. The techniques further involve providing a third carbon composite layer in contact with the second carbon composite layer, the third carbon composite layer having carbon fibers extending along the third carbon composite layer. The carbon composite layer having upright carbon fibers increases the interlaminar strength of the resulting structure thus providing strength in all dimensions/directions and alleviating the need for additional fasteners and/or 3D carbon/carbon.

Abstract: A Data Producer may be configured to negotiate and initiate a Data Continuity service with an M2M/IoT system. This service may be for specific data sets or all data sets generated by the Data Producer. The M2M/IoT system may be configured to autonomously decide to start a Data Continuity Service for a data set of a Data Producer. The Data Producer may interact directly with an Aggregator SL to store its aggregated data set, and may also be configured to update and delete entries in this data set and start a data service on this aggregated data set. A Local SL may be configured to manage all interactions with an Aggregator SL, and the Local SL may be configured to retarget requests from the Data Producer to the Aggregator SL, including a request to start a data service on the aggregated data set.

Abstract: An indexed sequence of bits in a buffer is allocated for tracking a battery charging state. The indexed sequence of bits has a first number of bits. A battery voltage of a rechargeable battery is sampled at a sampling rate. For each sampled battery voltage, the battery voltage is compared with a voltage threshold. A next bit position in the indexed sequence of bits is identified. In accordance with a determination that a comparison result is true, a predefined first value is added to the next bit position. A second number of bits that are filled with the predefined first value is determined. A ratio between the second number and the first number is also determined. In accordance with a determination that the ratio exceeds a threshold step-down ratio, a battery charge voltage is stepped down. The rechargeable battery is charged to a step-down voltage.

Abstract: An IoT/M2M service layer may be provided with the capability to protect user privacy. This functionality may allow the IoT/M2M service layer to anonymize user data, particularly when user data is shared with third party consumers. A privacy policy service may enable the IoT service layer system to generate anonymization (e.g., privacy) policies based on inputs such as legal obligations, subscriber privacy preferences, and an authorization level of the data consumer. Data anonymization policies may be output from the privacy policy service and may be sent to a data anonymization service, where raw data may be anonymized based on the one or more data anonymization policies. The output from the data anonymization service function may be a privatized (e.g., anonymized) version of data that may prevent the data consumer from discovering one or more identifying characteristics of a user.
